#18.5 @ 32.5"

I am making a prediction for Gripmas. I will get 24 lbs on the sledge. And it will be the best sledge at the comp. Thats right, i will win one of the 5 events.
Today i have to do 5 sets with 18.5 lbs at 31". I did the first rep and it was easy. I'm sure they will get harder during the day, but hey, thats called training. I have off with sledges tomorrow and then i cycle back on Wednesday. So this was cold, no warm up, no adrenaline, nothing.
The next cycle puts me at 18.5 lbs at 32.5", but that almost seems to small of a jump. I may need to re-work my cycle, Nah. Slow progress is still fine, i don't want to get injured. This sysle will have me doing 5 sets of 1 with 21 lbs plus a week of rest before the comp. With a little room to still adjust if needed.

I think doing 18.5 lbs at 31" is easier then doing 17.25 lbs at 32.5". It's weird, unless it also has to do with the fact that i was framing out my basement on Sat & Sunday? The only other difference is the weight was attached to the face of the sledge, today there are 2 weights attached to the sides of the sledge. I'm just glad it is moving along so easy.

I finished the day with 2 reps with the 18.5 lbs at 31". It just felt right. Now after a day of rest the next cycle should be a breeze.

I also got my 45 lb blob +5 lbs 2-3 inches off the ground. I need to keep messing with blob, it will come around
