17 Jun Lisa Guggisberg- Official Offseason Week 1

I just finished the RPS Redemption meet in Fort Myers, FL where I totaled 840 at 114lbs which qualifies me for the 2016 XPC Finals at the Arnold.  I am going into offseason mode and will do a meet in October as test meet to see where I am at before the Arnold.  I am going to have a little fun with offseason and focus on some weaknesses.

Back under the bar this week and man does it feel good.  I started my official offseason work this week. Pretty excited for this offseason as I have some pretty big goals.

Primary focus of this offseason is my bench, therefore, I will be benching twice a week.  First day will be form work.  Second day will be dedicated to speed work.   Because I am pretty busy without a lot of free time I am forced to squeeze all three lifts in one day and bench speed work two days later.  Minus the extra bench day. I have done this in past off-seasons and it worked well.
