Lowcountry Strength has started meet prep for the upcoming RPS Backyard Bash in NC on June 9th.  Lots of different things going on right now.  The team is progressing well through the prep while I’m working with Zane Geeting for my training.  Pretty cool to see quite a few different things happening for all the folks here. 

Check out my latest article on Power Rack Strength about trying to Learn to Suffer.

If you’ve read my latest article, one of the examples I used was staying in the shirt for a longer.  I did that here.  It took me a better part of 2 hours to get all the blood pump out of my hands and forearms from being in the shirt for nearly 2 hours.  This workout was brutal.  I cranked everything to competition tight.  I had the shirt sleeves fixed up, shirt jacked down, and belt cranked tight.  Opener could have been a bit better if I had flared and pushed back harder.  The 2nd attempt to a 2bd was perfect.  That’s exactly how I should be driving the bar back.  I practically just popped back to where it started.

One other goal for this day was to get a double at 500 against the doubled mini bands.  I pulled the 2.5s out for this.  These was my last session with this particular exercise so I was determined to end it on a high note.

After this, I was just wiped.  Finished up the rest of the accessory work and spent the weekend with family.
