11 Jun Lisa Guggisberg-Offseason Squats & Deadlifts

I am currently in off season and looking at doing a meet sometime in the fall.  My primary focus is to build up some weak points and build my raw strength back up.

So I am still recovering from surgery and no benching just yet. When I am ready I plan on starting with dumbbells and eventually transitioning to the barbell.

The good news is that I am working at 80-85% of my maxes in squat and deadlift.

Saturday Squats/Deadlifts

Warm up:

• McGill big 3
• Goblet squats
• Bar 3 x 10

Squat Work:

• 95 x 5
• 135 x 5
• 185 x 3
• 205 x 3
• 225 x 3
• 255 x 3
• 275 x 3
• 315 x 3 Inzer single ply gripper wraps.

Sumo Deadlift Work: 

• 135 x 5
• 225 x 5
• 255 x 5
• 275 x 5
• 300 x 5

I am feeling really strong right now even with taking a few weeks off.  Probably because I gave my body what it needed which was some extended rest.

Deload this week which works out perfect as I’ll be heading down to watch Teammate, Danny Bellmore and some of the guys from Team Samson competing at  APF Equipped Nationals in Jacksonville, FL this weekend.
