Good session overall. A bit more accessories volume than normal but hadn’t lifted since Thursday so I was fresh. Was working out of town and had to go to Gold’s.
Nutrition wasn’t the best the past few days but could have been worse. Had some long days at work but got solid sleep last night and made the best of it.

Working sucks and fucks with life and powerlifting lol

Eating out, loosing sleep. Plenty easy to get in enough calories, just hard to get in the right macros.
I was itching to get in the gym on Sunday and very much over did it with the accessories. I didn’t get many in on Thursday after heavy squats due to fatigue. Now I’m dragging ass today.

 

[Worf]

Another mistake I make in that dept is over eating carbs to boost energy when I’m tired. It works to a point but sleep>greater than carbs especially the kind that are available at subway and Buffalo Wild Wings, lol. Worked sun up to sun down on Saturday and didn’t sleep for shit Friday night. Plus driving all over. Shit throws off training big time.

You can't prep stuff ahead of time? That's what I do if I'm on the road

I definitely do. But it only lasts so long. I load up my lunch box, I can fit 3 Tupperware containers a few bars and a sandwich. That’s normally good for a day or a day and a half. If I’m gonna be there a week I buy stuff and keep it at the hotel but it’s rare they get us a hotel with a kitchenette. Most have at least a mini fridge and a microwave but some hotels don’t even have a microwave.

I usually only stay at Holiday Inn Express and Best Western Plus when I'm on the road because they all have hot breakfast and mini fridges in the rooms. Sometimes the fridges don't have a freezer and in that case I ask the front desks to put my freezer pack in the employee freezer.

Longer trips I'll pack two coolers, sometimes three for trips over three days. One to put my prepped food in each day and the second to carry stuff like peanut butter, lunch meat, cheese, etc. Third to carry half gallons of Fairlife milk for my shakes if the trip is long. If not long I'll make up a few days of shakes before I leave. Nonperishables I'll just keep in a bag in the truck. At night in the room I'll make up all my meals for the next day to keep in the first cooler. Getting the hot hotel breakfast saves on the space of one meal at least. Having every other meal cold doesn't bother me.

If the hotel does a breakfast I eat a bunch of eggs and get oat meal or granola. Then normally load up a bunch of boiled eggs and yogurt for snack, maybe a bagel and some PB. What ever I can load in my tupperwares and jam in the lunch box. We had to start work early on Saturday so missed the breakfast. Ate up most of my packed food due to this. Sunday we started later and got the breakfast. It’s doable to eat relatively clean on the road but it’s definitely hard. It just not something I do often enough to be good at. It’s only a once every other month or a long weekend here and there. If I was doing what you do I’d have a better system down and be prepared for this shit. Might just be mental thing too, just getting thrown off my routine

It took me awhile to get a good on the road routine down. I take a roll of aluminum foil with me now and use tortillas for everything. Wraps wrapped in foil are good on space and portability.

Shakes I put in empty 16oz water bottles. Make whatever before I leave and use empties as I go if necessary. They're also good on cooler space. If I'm making them in the hotel I use the paper cups in the room to mix them and then pour into the empty water bottles. Don't have to worry about washing a shaker cup that way either. Just drink and toss the bottle.

Anyway, that's part of my system lol.

I’m guilty of this... ever since PA mentioned my sluggishness may be due to lack of carbs, I tend to over-carb when I get no sleep haha.

Does it help you? Only thing that helps me is getting more sleep. Only got six hours last night according to my Fitbit and felt like shit all day.

Honestly, idk. It could be placebo... my sleep pattern is so shitty due to working overnights, I feel like it’s hit or miss. 4-6hrs is normal for me... but I sleep like a cat— 1-3hrs here, 1-3hrs there, etc.

I do know, though, that carbing up definitely improves my strength after a few days of low carbs.

For sure makes a huge difference on strength on low carb. Doesn't make up for sleep for me, although I think I crave carbs more when I'm tired.

It’s more than likely just a bad habit I got in to by subconsciously making the correlation between the two (carbs+lack of sleep), when it was probably due to lack of carbs in the first place, and the sleep deprivation was just there because it’s my natural state lately, lol.

This is the first time I’ve gone less than 3 reps on sumo. I pretty much use it as an alternate/supplemental lift. I was strongly considering using it at this meet but after the Josh Bryant seminar they convinced me conventional was the best for me right now. Honestly the sumo 525x2 moved better than the 515x2 conventional I did a few weeks ago. Either way I’m sure the second rep on both was ugly.

 

[Perrin Aybara]

Congrats on the PR. Sumo master race.

 

[Perrin Aybara]

Also I think I speak for all of us when I say we're counting on you to pull 600lbs this year. Preferably by summer. No pressure though. But seriously we are counting on you.
