08 Feb Dan Dalenberg | XPC – 4 out | Squat

I’m currently in contest prep for the 2017 Arnold Classic XPC Finals. I will be lifting multi-ply at 242. My training is being written and guided by Brian Carroll.

Last week’s squatting was atrocious. Absolutely brutal, like I had forgotten how to squat entirely. This week was supposed to be a deload, but with the meet so close I needed to get one in and have decent squat session. The plan was to repeat the previous week.

So much better than last week. 875 opener after 2+ hours of messing with new briefs. #powerrackstrength #1020life #inzer #squat

So much better. Worked up to my 875 opener and called it there. I did have one more set to do, a 2nd attempt with a band, but I was exhausted and already almost 2.5 hours into this one so I took the win and packed up.

On a different note- I spent the first 90 minutes or so messing with some new briefs. I have a smaller, triple ply pair that I am trying to make work. We were able to get them all the way on and I was able to squat in them albeit very high. I took a few sets before my legs were painfully numb and had to bail on those briefs. I think they will work eventually, but I need more time to get them properly broken in.
