18 Jul Lab Rat – Off Season Week 4
I’m currently in an offseason training cycle after competing at RPS Redemption in Ft. Myers May 30th. I ended up lifting in the 275’s vs. the planned 242. I achieved a 1610lb total via 580 squat, 440 bench and 590 deadlift. Best numbers at 242 were 550, 425, 575 for 1550. I don’t have a meet on the horizon yet but there are several goals in mind.
