06 Jun LCS Week 5, Session 1

Benching and more.  Still hitting that volume.  We’re trying to look good for the bench in a couple weeks.  4th of July will be here soon enough.

Brief recap:

We just wrapped up an in-house Fun Day at Lowcountry Strength on May 6^th.  It was a great turn out and I was very happy with how our training cycle came out.  LCS is back to deep, raw offseason training.  Might be news of a meet in October but that’s to be determined later.  My wife and I had our 2^nd child on May 10^th.  So, my training is going to be quick and sporadic (hopefully not), but I’ll be getting as much done as possible. 

The team and myself included are in a higher volume off season phase through at least after the 4^th of July.  Summer, travel, and the heat can all make training tough.  After the in-house meet, it’s time to rebuild and look to an actual meet in the fall. 

After benching, did a little extra technique work since I noticed some things that were off. It's never ending the things that we can be working on. – – For more details check out the LCS log on PowerRackStrength. www.PowerRackStrength.com/author/w-Kuenzel – #tentwentylife #1020life #lowcountrystrength #teamPRS #captainjacked #inzer #powerrackstrength #charleston #powerlifting

Worked up to an RPE of 7 for 4 reps.  Noticed I was having some issues with bar travel so opted to back off for a few sets and hammer technique.
