We got hit with Mathew but luckily where we were wasn’t too bad. We got some nasty weather and lots of trees down and power out for a few days but thanks to a generator, not too bad.
I wasn’t feeling squatting after not sleeping well and my days being off but it was time to get it done anyway.
The plan was to take an opener and a second with a RB.
Squat
450
added pred
620
710
added LUP plus wraps
820
925 – last warm-up
1025 opener
1100- second with bands
Deads
315 – fusionDler
405 – multiple singles
500 – same
600 – last warm-up
KB Goblets: 5×5
Stir the pot: 100
This ended up being a good and solid day overall. This is the hardest part of a precontest cycle, the last few weeks when you’re a bit beat up and tired. Squats felt heavy and slow and deads felt awesome.
It is time for a deload and a last little push then coast in the meet.
