09 Jul Brian Carroll | 10/20/Life | Week 5 day 1 Squat/DL | 18 weeks out from the WPO
Week 2 of 3-week mini-cycle. This cycle will consist of the following:
Cambered bar squats for triples/doubles then single/deload
4″ block pulls – same rep scheme the next 4 weeks
Stability bench – might do more repetitions since this is more of ‘rehab’/transitional at this point but same idea. So far, sets of 5.
- Warm-up: General 10/20/Life warm-up, as usual, each day includes but not limited to: Breaking a sweat, McGill big 3 and always band pull-aparts and shoulder band/DB work.
- Training: Week 5, day 1 Squat/DL
- RPE 7 for this day
- Will add belt and wraps over the couple weeks
- Briefs in about 4 weeks
- Cambered bar squat: 425×2
- 4″ Block Pull: 405×2
- Pause Belt squat: 3×6
- Romanian hybrid belt squat: 3×6
- Suitcase carry: 3 trips, super fast pace
It’s officially feeling like summer now. Saturday morning sessions are always a ton of fun but they will challenge your heart and gut a bit.
It feels normal again to train the lifts near competition their form. When I get out of my training rhythm it impacts the other areas of my life and throws it out of whack.
17 training weeks away from the WPO. I have mapped out my intended training path, along with getting my diet and supplements in order. All of this is tentative and contingent upon various moving parts, but I have a plan.
Training is my #1 focus aside from the obvious relationships and duties right now. I have not been this way for a long, long time. I’ve let far too many distractions (stuff shouldn’t be or isn’t my concern) pull me away from what I love to do. In other cases, I’ve tried to take on too much. This is not going to happen anymore.
