25 Jun Brian Carroll | Offseason | Week 3, day 3

I just finished competing at the XPC Arnold Finals 3/7/15 where I totaled 2610@242 and won the overall. I did not achieve ALL of my goals but I’m still happy with the results, not content.

I’m after the total record at 242 of 2695, and squat record of 1140. My best total ever is 2730, and best squat ever is 1185 – my best individual lifts combined are low to mid 2800’s at 275. My best total at 242 is 2610 and I will be adding to that very soon.

My next meet is RPS Meet August 29, in Atlantic City, NJ. I’ll be lifting at 242.

Training for this competition starts now. I have about 9 weeks in each lift to get things right.

Great training day once again.

I really enjoy the Wednesday training. I like the fact that nothing is ball-breaking heavy but I get a crap load of work in to bring up my weak points.

Here is what I did

Normal Warm-up
McGill Big 3
Band fly

McGill Chins: 20
Barbell rack row: 5×5 275
DOH shrug: 3×6 – 365
Piston Squat: 5×5
Hammer curl: 3×15
One leg GM: 3×15
Rolling Plank: 3×15

DONE…

Hot as hell in the gym but a great session. Byrd, myself and Lab Rat got a very good session in. Byrd and I are rolling into precontest mode and LR is full bore offseason.

Saturday is pretty much the start of the official offseason prep and I’m looking forward to it. I’ll probably work in the 800 range on the squat for some reps and a mid 500 for reps on the deads.

Big summer coming up and while home I want to get the most work as possible with my crew.

I have some things to dial in for sure but I’m confident as always that I’ll put together a solid meet.

Huge thanks to Inzer once again for the support!
