11 Apr Brian Carroll | Week 5 of 6 | Day 1| RPS US Open Training

Once again – I’m super proud of the team I have put together and how they handled themselves in Ohio both on the platform, off it and in general all weekend. They were a HUGE help to me and I am really grateful.

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

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.

Last real squat & DL session, and it went pretty well. Shown above are my openers of 1020 and 725. Moved pretty well. I have a couple of things to adjust as always but in a pretty good spot overall.

Normal warm-up McGill Big 3

Squat
710 in Preds and wraps
830 – full gear
930 – full gear, last Warm-up
1020 – opener
1100 – RB

Dead
405
500
605 – last warm-up
725 – opener

Random core work and such- then done. Felt pretty good but the squat was not as speedy as I would have liked.

I’ll be benching tonight and will take a few benches to low boards and hopefully finish super strong with confidence in the bench.

Almost time to bench!
