15 Apr Brian Carroll – Final 2 Training Sessions for the RPS US Open

Here’s a couple of Q&A videos that Byrd and I did —

I’ll be going head to head for 5K against Jimmie P, Tony P and Hopefully Matt M. Not sure if he can make it though.

950 last warmup done last night. Feeling ready for the #RPS #usopen #tentwentylife #teamPRS #powerrackstrength #1020life #inzer #iad #inzeradvancedesigns #inzerleviathanultrapro

Last 2 real training sessions going on here before the meet —

Monday, normal day really. Warmed up to last warm-up – 710 and opener 750

Massive thanks to Teammates Paul Key, Adam Driggers, Jason K, Byrd, Shane x2 and all who came to dial me in Monday.

I feel good about my bench really. I ended on a very good note and feel confident. I finished up with some DB presses, dips and some direct triceps work and done.

Wednesday – last squat day. I moved the squat up a few days (from Saturday) as Adam and Byrd had some ideas on what I should do moving forward on a few things. Long story short, I went to a 2xl Leviathan as my 3x was just too big. Good news is I felt great in the 2xl and believe I was giving up some poundage there.

It kinda sucked taking 1100 Saturday, benching 90% monday then squatting 80% again in full gear but now I can rest.

Took the following – 700 in briefs, 850 in full gear for 2 singles and then 940 for a single to finish up. Bodyweight is sitting between 262-265. Right where I want it to be.
