01 Aug Dain Soppelsa- Log for 7/30/17 and 7/31/17-Contest Prep-6 weeks out

I am currently three weeks into contest prep for the RPS Indiana State meet on September 16. Dan Dalenberg is handling my programming for this meet. The weights are going up each week and I’m in full gear now. I’m feeling ready to move some big weights.

Day 1 Squat/DL 

Warm-up

McGill Big 3

Goblet Squats

Squats-Straight Bar-Full Gear-75% x 2 x 3

up to 705 x 2 x 3 sets

I was moving these really fast and on my first set I got thrown around a bit at the top in between reps, but with a cue to flex my quads at the top to get control in between reps, sets two and three were much better.

DL-Full Gear-75% x 2 x 3 

up to 545 x 2 x 3 sets

I am really liking the Fusion Deadlifter. It’s easier to get down to the bar than when I was using my LUP. I like the pop I get off the floor as well.

Single Leg GM

15 x 3 sets per leg

Planks for time

Fluff and Buff Day

Warm-up
