Doing well to fit stuff in with the pandemonium of a new born in the house. Shouldn't take you long to bring your conditioning levels back up.

I wouldn't be too concerned about KB ballistic conditioning .. especially heavy swings at the end of very tough session.

I hope you get an opportunity to simulate meet conditions at home a few weeks prior to the real meet. Keep things under 90% but do all three lifts in competition order including how you would warm up.

Colin-
I am amazed how much more hectic things have gotten. It will be better when Annie is recovered from the c-section, but right now it is hard to fit it in some days.
Franklin-
I am looking at this meet as that opportunity. My serious meets are in July and November. The conditioning side is important because it is really in the gutter right now. When I took those heavy singles a few weeks ago I thought I would die after the squats, and that was before taking two weeks almost completely off. DOn't worry, I am not trying to achieve an SF level of conditioning, just enough to survive my meet.

Great .. you've really got all the bases covered. Continue to execute the way you have been and you will be ready for summer and fall meets.
