21 Feb Lab Rat – Pre Contest Week 8 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.
We’re less than two weeks out from being slapped in the face by the sub zero temps of Columbus, can’t wait! I just wrapped up the last heavy pre contest combo day on a great note. In keeping our Saturday morning ritual alive and well a few members of Team Samson met for breakfast then made our way to the compound. Warm ups consisted of the McGill Big 3 and KB swings. We held a slower pace than usual on the lighter weights but got into a much better rhythm towards the middle of the session.
Squats
- 150 3 x 5
- 240 2 x 2
- 350 x 1
- 440 x 1
- 510 x 1 (light wrap)
- 550 x 1 (opener)
- 600 x 1 (reverse band)
- 625 x 1 (reverse band)
Deadlift
- 245 2 x 2
- 335 x 2
- 445 x 2
- 535 x 1
Today’s session felt really strong, heavy benching Monday evening then coasting into the Arnold.
