06 Jan Byrd: Its that time!

Arnold prep is here and its time to get to work! The field for the Arnold is pretty impressive and will take a big day to finish near the top of the field.

Guess who is health(ish) and finally carrying some bodyweight? Going to have to cut for the first time in awhile, but not too worried. I will be using the weight cut method laid out by Brian Carroll here.

Even the top level lifters put their training in others hands from time to time. This go around I am letting Brian Carroll handle my squat and deadlift and Paul Key handle my bench. This set up has worked great for me in the past, because I tend to push too much.

Squat/Dead
Suit, light straps, no warps (I hate not wearing wraps)
4×1 @ 80%

Deadlift
Tight straps
4×1 @ 80%

Everything here moved really well, which it should have. I would have been pretty worried if things didnt go right at this %

Bench

Paul Key special
3board raw doubles vs orange band
singles from 2 board vs band in shirt.

Still getting the feel for this new SDP but its coming together fast! Top set of 770×1 moved pretty damn fast
