20 Jul Danny Vega – Off-season Week 7 – squats and pulls

Currently in Off-season mode. Will be preparing for a meet in the late fall after this 10 week block.

First day in my Inzer gripper knee wraps and I loved them. There’s no need to chalk up your knees with these–the gripper strips really grip on tight. After my top set, I had to peel them off. These wraps are stretchy so you can crank them pretty good. They do have stopping power, even with how I had them wrapped today which would be around an the tightness of an opener. I highly recommend them.

Squat 55*5, 5, 145*5, 195*2, 235*2, 285*2, 325*2, 375*5, added belt 415*5, light wrap at 465*5, 515*5@7-8 RPE. I was borderline on depth with these, which is to be expected re the first time in new wraps. Still hit ten pounds heavier than my last top set of 5 a few weeks ago, and also had one more work set this week (4*5 vs 3*5)

Deadlifts 315*2, 415*2, 465*2, added belt 505*2, 575*5@8 RPE 

Goblet squat 3*10@106

GHR 2*8@bw + 45
