14 Jul Dan Dalenberg | Week 7 | SQ/DL

Training for the XPC/RPS Atlantic City meet on August 29^th. I will be lifting raw with wraps at 242.

Continuing to build great momentum on the squat and dead.

Squat- Deload- 3 x 1

420 for 3 singles.

Dead- Opener, 2nd attempt w/reverse bands

Worked up 640 opener. This is actually a 15 pound gym PR. I’ve never been a good gym puller and I don’t care at all. Better than the other way around.

640 opener. I’m bad at pulling in the gym. This is a 15 pound gym PR 😁 #powerlifting #1020life #raw

Then went up to 705 with reverse bands. I usually would pull with a reverse average band but we don’t have a set at this gym that are in decent shape. So I pulled it with 2 reverse light bands, one set was new and the other had a lot of miles on it. Similar tension to my usual setup I think, but really it doesn’t matter.

Pause Squats- 3 x 3

It was super hot in the gym, very humid and I was pretty gassed. Ready to be done so did 3 quick sets with 290. Then we decided to rearrange the gym… that was smart.

Bodyweight

Funny- Chelsea and I spent the weekend with my family up north in Traverse City, MI. Beautiful place that I highly recommend if you want a quiet getaway. I ate like a KING and ended up bloating up 7 pounds in 3 days. WHOOPS. 258 is getting a little farther from 242 than I would like! Last night’s sweat shop deadlift session pulled it off of me, 251 this morning. I’m disgusting.

Cool- We went on this same trip last year. I was looking at pictures from then and comparing to now. I’m a few pounds heavier but look leaner. Remember, leaner is all relative. I’m not Dan Green or Tee Cummins lean. But I am bigger and better put together than last year. The drop and rebuild was very successful. I will definitely do the same thing the next time I have a really long off season. I also feel much better and this is close to the heaviest I have ever been. Bulk and cut and bulk broooooo.
