18 Jul Dan Dalenberg | Off-season Squat/Pull

I recently lifted at the 2017 Arnold XPC finals where I totaled 2370, via 940, 700, 730. I am in the middle of a long off season leading up to a fall full meet. 

Off season is starting to come to a close! A few more weeks and contest prep will be here.

Squat- Full Gear RPE 7 singles

Raw through 445

Briefs for 535

Suit on- 625. I tried a smaller LUP and decided it just wasn’t going to work. I am towards the bottom end of the 2XL sizing and top end of XL. The XL isn’t quite big enough for me.

Switched to 2XL LUP- 715 easy

805 disaster. Unrack was terrible, broke at the knees and put it right back in the rack. I need to spend more time handling lighter weights!

Dead- Raw RPE 7 Singles

Up through 585, no issues, nice and smooth

Sumo Deads- 315 for several doubles

Lat Pulldowns

Not too bad of a session. Good reminder that I still don’t really know how to squat in full gear.
