06 Jan Lab Rat – Pre Contest Week 1 Day 1
I’m training for the XPC Finals at the Arnold Sports Festival® March, 7, 2015. I’ll be competing as a 242lb raw lifter looking to improve my best meet lifts of 575, 430 and 600.
This past Saturday marked the start of Pre Contest combo training. I just finished a very light deload week, my body was feeling refreshed and I was ready to move some weight. Warm up consisted of the McGill Big 3 and a couple sets of KB squats.
Squat- Worked up to 3 top sets of 2 with 70% of a projected max. Everything felt light and moved fast, as it should.
- Bar 2 x 8
- 150 3 x 5
- 240 x 3
- 330 x 2
- 420 2 x 2
- 440 x 2
Deadlift- 135-315 was pulled off the floor as form checks. 405+ was pulled from 6″ blocks working up to a 7rpe double.
- 135 2 x 3
- 225 x 3
- 315 x 2
- 405 x 2
- 455 x 2
- 515 x 2
