09 Apr Danny Vega – RPS Redemption meet prep – Squats & Da Pump

I am training for the RPS Redemption/XPC Qualifier on May 30, 2015. I will be competing in the classic raw 220lb weight class.

This week started off well. Then sleepless nights and a trip to the emergency room happened. Luckily everyone is better now but both of these workouts suffered. It’s all good. Next week will be back on track.

1. Squat 445,495,545,545×2. Skipped out on last set since I was on no sleep and barely any food.

2. Close stance high bar squats 285,305,325,335,355×5

3. Went home

4/9 Da pump

1. Closegrip Bench 135,185,225×6, 285×6,9

2. Smith machine OHP 165,195×6, 195×9
