13 July

Training (145p)

Today was a tough combination of work. Didn't look too terrible on paper, completely different story once you get in the middle of it. 

Pretty frustrated lately seeing all the stories about the guys going to the Games. I am really sick of working my ass off and not reaching my goal. The truth is, I love what I do and I love to train, but this will be my 4th year trying to make the Games and I truly believe that I belong inside that stadium. I wish that I didn't believe that so I could have a reason to stop competing but I know I can compete with those guys. Sure, I realize that I don't have a realistic chance to ever win the Games but I just want a chance to see what happens. I hate this time of year, I don't want to watch the shit on TV, I don't want to listen to people talk about it, I just want the Games to be over and the Season to start back up again. 

A. Deadlift @41x1, 4-5x5; rest 3 min

Felt pretty shitty for a while after today, spent about 20 minutes lying around before started to feel recovered.
