Dropped into the heavy training today, figured there would be no harm starting a day early.
Didn't have a spotter so worked up to my bench opener of 220 - did a comfortable couple of sets. Finished off with dumbbell chest presses and the last set was a solid 88 x 7.

Okay, I'm ready for my final heavy week. Monday is a rest day as I'm training at Eastside PL'ing gym on Tuesday - that's always a big night. Then towards the end of this week I'll have a session where I will hit maxes of the lifts as I would do in the meet. Once that's done I'll know exactly where I'm at.

BTW, I had Friday off work so had an awesome long weekend with my girls. Took them to the fair on Friday and then spent the afternoon in and around our local park. We all loved it and had a great time hanging out together

They are, the younger one is 4yrs old and the eldest is 6. Being a Dad is something I wouldn't trade for anything.

Cheers guys! Not long to go now, can't wait to get up on that platform again and lift my arse off.
Training at Eastside Powerlifting gym tonight, pretty hardcore at that place. Squats & bench, we'll see what goes down.

I'd imagine that would be a bit overkill on the protein for one serving? Maybe I'm wrong but I didn't think it would be possible to absorb that much protein at once. Also, even though it's plant sourced, wouldn't it still be difficult on your digestion to have so much?

My strength log

Not sure, seems to be okay at the moment. Sometimes I do split up and drink 200ml at a time, about an hour or two apart. With what you just said I think that's probably the best approach.
I don't get any bloating from it though, so I'd be more concerned about the nutrient utilisation & metabolism over anything else. I try and eat a range of fermented foods as well as emphasising alkaline food types, that really makes a difference overall I feel.
Did you get my message I sent you mate?
