17 Nov Dan Dalenberg | Offseason | SQ/DL

Coming off a very poor performance in Atlantic City. Despite an excellent training cycle, I did not execute to my ability. This failure has left a very sour taste. Currently in the offseason; building momentum towards preparing for the XPC Arnold Classic.

Pretty decent squat night. I haven’t handled much weight this off season but overall this went pretty well.

Squat- Doubles to 8RPE

Up to 475 then added cheater wraps and went 525, 605, 655.

I think I could benefit from more wrap-less work. Something to keep in mind as I approach contest prep for the Arnold in a few weeks.

Deads- 315 x 5 x 1

Banded Leg Curls- Average band x 4 x 15

Birddogs- 10 x 10 second holds

Tonight was the first night for Dain in his new Leviathan. He didn’t work up to anything heavy, just trying to get some reps with straps down to feel out the suit and give us both a chance to play with the adjustments. Be good to see him lift in gear that actually fits correctly.
