Danny Vega – Raw United meet prep – Week 7 bench and pulls

I am training for the Raw United meet on November 7th in Tampa, FL. I will be competing raw with wraps in the 220 weight class. 

Tuesday morning, I get a text from Scott saying, “take it easy this week, you just competed on Saturday.” yeah sure thing Scott, I don’t listen to him and proceed to have a crappy bench day. I obviously wasn’t fully recovered. I also usually put an extra day between squatting and benching which I didn’t do this week.

Honestly, I’m probably still not recovered because I’ve increased my calories by 300 a day and I managed to lose 3 lbs this week. So today, I listened to Scott and DD and decided to let my warm-ups dictate where I’d end up on block pulls. I had to pull a double at an 8 RPE. I felt good so I hit 635*2.

Tomorrow I’ll come in for some fluff and buff and eat a lot this weekend so I can come in fresh on Monday.

Wed

Bench 45*15,15, 135*10, 185*5, 225*4, 275*3, 315*2, 345*1, 365*2, 385*1 off two board (was supposed to be a double). 

Then I felt like I needed to redeem myself and hit 405*2 in the slingshot. This was totally unnecessary and I’m lucky I didn’t get hurt.
