28 Jun Byrd: Deads and Squats!

Only a few weeks out from starting meet prep, so its time to adjust to the gear. I am stil working on getting my bench shirts broke in, which if you don’t know is a real process. I stayed in briefs this week for both the squat and dead.

The deadlift plan was to work off four inch blocks with briefs. I wanted to work to a solid double with the rpe range below 8.

Time to get back to work. I have been lazy long enough. #1020life #powerlifting #powerrackstrength #inzer #raw #equipped #deadlift #bench #squat
