The Fife Holiday Classic: 5-Week Countdown (Give or Take)

The Fife Holiday Classic is coming up, scheduled for Saturday, December 4th. That's 5 weeks from this Saturday. Ack! I still haven't lost any weight, which means I've got to lose about 3 pounds a week to make weight. Please keep me in your prayers!

This week is not really a training week. I'm giving my body a week to recover a bit, and am lifting very light just to make it easier to resume lifting heavy next week. Starting on Tuesday, November 2nd, I'll have about 4 weeks of heavy training to get ready for the competition. Crap, I'm getting nervous already...

Here is what I lifted at the YMCA Seattle Summer Classic back in June:

	Attempt 1	Attempt 2	Attempt 3	Total
Squat	182.5 kg. (402.2 lb.)	200 kg. (440.7 lb.)	217.5 kg. (479.5 lb.)	600 kg. (1322.5 lb.)
Bench	135 kg. (297.5 lb.)	147.5 kg. (325 lb.)	155 kg. (341.5 lb.)
Deadlift	227.5 kg. (501.5 lb.)	245 kg. (540 lb.)	245 kg. (540 lb.)

Here is what I tentatively plan on lifting in December:
