18 Dec Danny Vega – Off season Week 5 – Squats

I am currently in off season mode. Over the next 4 months I will be focusing on building my bench and working on some weak points until I start meet prep for next May’s RPS Redemption meet. I will be competing raw with wraps in the 242 weight class.

Today went well. My knee feels really good, but my conditioning sucks right now. Putting on this weight has its advantages but this is one of the setbacks. I will build on this over the next month before I go into a full bore off season in January. Here is what we did:

Beltless SSB Squat 60×6, 150×5, 240×4, 330×3, 420×6, 4×6@400

Beltless high bar squat 325, 345,365×6

KB Goblet Squat 3×10@88

GHR Bwx10, 2×10@bw+25

Leg Curls 1×50@90

After I was finished I went to the procryospa for some cryo treatment which was different. I will be doing it every day of my deload weeks for recovery.
