08 Jun Brian Carroll – Week 1 Offseason
Clint and I were pulling at this point and both at 220. Clint was having a good day and I missed a couple of squats I shouldn’t have. Around the time of this picture, I had my handlers in my corner and Clint had his..
I was up by about 70lb going into the dead and I overhead Tony saying to Clint “if he misses this second att 716 dead, then you can win with —-“. I cut him off – “I’m not going to miss and today isn’t his day to win”. hahaha Clint went over 2100 for the first time and I over 2200. Fun day!
I just finished 3 meets in 3 months and I’m now taking downtime to recover, rest and work on weak points. I did hit PR Total, 2651, PR squat 1102 and a PR bench 788 all at 242.
[wa-wps]Huge thanks to Captain Jacked and Inzer Advance Designs for supporting my lifting!
Last week of training was super light and just moving some blood around. I also started walking again every day. This will help keep me sane when training isn’t super heavy or when not pushing for a meet.
Wednesday:
I basically did a circuit of the following:
DB press
Band fly
BW squat
One leg GM
Band press-down
Hammer curl
Stir the pot
I did all of these for sets of 10-15.
It did feel good to knock some rust off.
I had Stuart McGill drop by for a visit and got some time to catch up. This was an excellent time as Stu is one of my favorite people. We have a couple of things in the works and I’m super happy about this.
Saturday
Normal warm-up
Goblet pause squat: 5×5
Band fly: 3×15
Band skull: 3×15
Stir the pot: 3×15
Hammer curl: 3×15
Bench dip: 3×15
Incline DB press: 3×15
Finished up with some McGill big 3 and was done. Structure will come back very soon but this mindless training and just blowing off some steam is a nice change after pushing so hard for so long.
