Day 50
Today's Notes:
The power class felt really good tonight - I think it's finally 'broken' and I'm used to it - instead of being fatigued and feeling sore the next day, I feel appropriately tired, and tight the next day, but not like I damaged myself. And it's done HUGE things for my normal workouts - there's so much endurance built in to that class, I don't ever feel winded or tired while doing my circuits and stacked lifts.
Crazy... Something that works as advertised. What a rarity these days.
The Workouts:
(You can read descriptions for all of these exercises here)
Evening Session (weights + aerobic stuff)
Insane Power class:
Squats - 30 @ 175lbs slow burn (2 / 3 secs down, 2/3 secs up)
Lunges - 25 each leg @ 150 lbs slow
Lateral Shoulder Raise - 30 @ 140 lbs
Military Press - 40 @ 140 lbs
Bent-over Rows - 30 @ 140 lbs
Chest Press - 30 @ 180 lbs
Tricep curl - 30 @ 70 lbs
Bicep curl - 30 @ 70 lbs (slow)
Abwork - Planks, crunches, situps, more planks, hip lifts... I STILL hate this part of the class.
HOW I FEEL:
Really good. I honestly feel like I'm as ready as I can be for Saturday - I didn't slack, and I trained hard. I know that with another few months, I'd stand an actual chance of making a real show at the tryout, but where I stand now and how I feel, I think I'm going to do as well as I can.

Well, good luck on Saturday. Sir Geek and I will be beaming you all the good luck mojo we can.
You say that if you had a couple of months more you'd be even more ready. In another post you'd mentioned that Georgia Force had done two tryouts (Oct and Dec) in previous years. If for some reason you don't get picked this time (but do think positive because you've busted your ass to date), will you continue training and try again in December?
Anyway, go in there on Saturday with a hearty "I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum" sort of attitude and you'll knock them dead I'm sure.
