15 Jan Brian Carroll Week 2, day 3 – Squat/dl assistance and “Path to the WR total at 242″

Notice the title of the log

This is NO DISRESPECT to lifters like current and former 242 greats Juha, Panora, Hoff or ANYONE at all. It’s in reach and I want the total record, especially since I was pretty close a few months back. I’ve actually chased it on and off for the better part of 10 years.

I’m not predicting shit, calling my shot or anything like that. The fact is that I’m pushing that 2700+ at 242. Will I get it? Let’s see. I’ve hit it quite a few times at 275 while not being 100%. Either way, I’m on the path toward it, I just hope I get there, and will log pretty much everything about the process. This will also keep my accountable to make sure I’m doing what I need to be doing.

Arnold is about 7.5 weeks away or so from now, give or take.

Feeling good about training and my goals.

I’m realizing that by training Sat and Monday that I probably set back my recovery from this chest deal some but I think it was worth it. With that said, I took it easy on Wednesday night since I’m still not feeling great.

Lots of rest today and recovering.

Training
Mcgill chins – 30 singles
1-arm KB swing: 3×12
1-arm KB GM: 3×12
Birdog: lots
Rolling plank: lots
Hammer curl: 3×15

Nothing special, but some work.

Like I’ve posted about, I’ll be heading to WI this weekend for a Seminar that Paul Carter and I are putting on. I’ll be deloading this weekend so the timing is good.

I’ll (hopefully)be recovered by then and ready to crank things back up for the meat & potatoes of this cycle.
