09 Nov Lisa Guggisberg-Offseason Squat, Bench & Deadlifts

I am currently in offseason mode. My next meet will be the XPC Finals at the Arnold Classic in early March 2016 where I will compete in the 114 lb weight class with wraps.  Brian Carroll is programming my offseason work and really eager to see the end result of this offseason.

Still plugging away. Box squats are really making me work.  Right now form > weight. I am still getting in plenty of work.  I am breaking down my squat and rebuilding with some form corrections. My hip flexors and IT bands are not happy with me right now.  Hitting the recovery work and telling them to shut their mouth because I am in a mission.

Box squats make your ass grow.
