18 Jan LCS Offseason Week 2, Sessions 2 and 4

If you haven’t, check out LCS’s beginnings here.

With the whole crew in offseason, it’s pretty fun to experiment.  During meet prep I get to be a little bit of an asshole.  I plan out the entire meet cycle and get everybody on the same page.  It’s good to get everybody doing the same thing and when percentages get high, it gets intense in here.  It’s fun.  During the offseason however, I’m more lenient and want it to be more relaxed and we joke around a bit more.  I’ll experiment with different guys/gals for different reasons. We’ll watch to see what pays off and what we should shelve.  With lots of different styles and weaknesses, it adds a bit of complexity to make it work for everybody, but that’s the fun part for me.

Training for me this week is a lead up to some gear work next week.  Rounding it out and being the gear whore I am, I’m looking to have some fun when I’m not RAWng.

Day 2:

Wide box squats, always and I mean always, kick my ass.  Scott found these were a huge weak point for me early on and we’ve been hammering the shit out of them ever since.  Months in and I still royally suck at them.  I’ve upgraded from horribly shitty, to tolerable sucky.

Week 2: wide box squats 10×2 vs bands rpe7

A. Ghr 4×8

B. Pull-ups 6×6 weighted

C. Walking lunges 4×20 steps light load

D. Abs 10 mins

Wide stance box squats… was supposed to be. Felt like it but on the video doesn't look as wide as I've been. Hips and hammies were still sore so must have been somewhat right. Also, lighting, tights and a dip belt make my ass look amazing. If you didn't notice before , you will now.

Day 3: fluff and stuff.  I’ll spare you the details.

Day 4:

I love deadlifting in every way possible.  Sumo, conventional, deficit, etc.  I love it.  It doesn’t always love me but every relationship gets a little rocky at times.

Week 2: deads vs bands 6×3 50% conventional

A. McGill pull-ups x50 work throughout day

B. Pull downs 4×12

C. Rears Db raises w hold at top 3×12

D. Backward sled drags 100′ x4 rpe7

E. Abs 10mins

Last week I skipped the ab work.  This week I had to skip the sled drags.  I had some Friday errands to run and time constraints were just simply too tight.

Pulls and accessory stuff from last week. All of my pulling recently has been really light but it has been feeling really popping. Looking forward to this week's training. #1020life #powerrackstrength #powerlifting #teamPRS #teampump #lowcountrystrength #deadlifts
