Training Logs
by Danny Vega
I am training for the RPS Redemption/XPC Qualifier on May 30, 2015. I will be competing in the classic raw 220lb weight class. I plan on gaining 10-12lbs over the next 10 weeks, and this is the plan. If I am not gaining about 1lb a week, I will adjust up or down.

Weight is at 225. This is perfect. This week I will drop the carbs a bit as my training won’t be as intense.
Congratulations to all my friends who competed at RUM8 this weekend. Looked like a great meet and I was sorry to miss it.

And now for some thoughts…
1. I feel really, really good. Now is when some people will feel the need to go balls out over 3 months out. This is dumb. Stick to the plan and stick to the correct RPE. That’s how you stay healthy and set yourself for PRs when it counts–on the platform.
2. My form feels great on squat and deadlift. Bench is still a work in progress.
3. These things. I can’t tell you how much I love them. Go
here and get yourself a pair. They have changed the way I squat. I have much more confidence in the hole.

4. I’m proud to be on such a great team. A lot of great information is coming out of this site and I encourage everyone to go on the Q&A, check out the articles and logs, and if you haven’t already, pick up the book
here.
