10-ish weeks until the Arnold, which is March 7, 2015.

I’m finishing week 5 of offseason work this week.

Update: BW has hit a low of 257.5 currently and is floating between 257-260

I’m now finished with my offseason work as this was my last training session.

Normal warm-up: Always McGill big 3
1-arm KB swing
KB Goblet

Training
Mcgill chin: 25 singles
Rack row: up to 315×5
DOH shrug: 3×10 315
1-arm KB swing: 3×12
KB Goblet: 3×10
Piston squat: 3×5
Hammer curl: 3×10
1-Leg GM: 3×10
Bird dog: few sets

This wraps up the final week of offseason. I have not started (or will be) a precontest cycle in this good of shape, level of health, focus or strength level in a long time. Don’t confuse ‘strength level’ with me saying i’m stronger than ever but more so starting a peaking cycle this physically ready.

I’ll be taking this Saturday off from weight training and will be walking hills and doing some core work. Monday will be light bench assistance and then some light Squat/DL assistance on Wed. The precontest cycle will start the following weekend (in one week) with around 70% in gear.

all you need to know about the universe and the little “dipster” and the 100’s of starts in the universe!

I’m looking forward to pushing toward the Arnold. It will be March before we know it!

I’m more motivated than ever for this meet! Hope to see you there! If you’re interested in competing, shoot me an message below and I’ll put you in contact with Danny Dague.

Brian Carroll

Brian is a world-class powerlifter with over two decades of elite and pro-level powerlifting under his belt. Coming back from a devastating back injury in 2012 that broke multiple bones and that most experts said he would never recover from, he has returned to the pinnacle of world-class lifting (while 100% pain and symptom-free) and is now dedicated to helping others avoid the same mistakes that he made in the past through private and group coaching in Jacksonville, FL. Brian’s impressive recovery has given him the opportunity to teach and deliver talks to physical therapists, chiropractors, medical doctors, professional strength & conditioning coaches and experts from all facets of sport, on how to avoid injury, while building anti-fragile strength and resilience in athletes.
