21 May Lab Rat – Pre Contest Week 4
After running a couple blocks of PowerBuilding I decided to compete at the APF Equipped Nationals June 16-18 in my backyard, Jacksonville, FL. Even though the meet title says equipped I’ll be lifting raw with wraps.
For this contest prep I’ll be running a modified 10/20/Life Pre Contest influenced by the upcoming PowerBuilding book. Aside from improving my total my other goals include a slight weight loss and better overall health. Current body weight is sitting around 251lbs.
Leg / Back Power Day – Saturday May 6, 2017
This was my second session in wraps since May 2016 and the first time working in the 500’s. I’m heading to the UK twice before the competition for a week each and there’s some concerns about lack of quality training time. I’m getting some sanity checks from Brian and Byrd regarding this.
