12 Jan Lisa Guggisberg: Pre-contest bench work Arnold Prep

I am currently in pre-contest mode getting ready for the 2017 XPC Finals at the Arnold where I will be lifting in the multiply division.

Pauper raw bench chronicles: this is a nice PR for me. 205# x 2 off a two board. Prior to working in a bench shirt handling this weight I became a mental midget. Multiply carry over to my raw work lesson: handling heavy weight raw is no big deal. #inzer #1020Life #tentwentylife #PRS #thisisfemalepowerlifting #TeamPRS #powerlifting #PowerRackStrength #captainjacked #1020strong #ladiesofPRS #girlswhomultiply @googs_firestrong

Warm Up:

• Single arm KB swings
• Front/Side Raises 5lb plate
• Bar 2 x 10

Raw work to a two board this week for 4 x 2.  Hit a nice little PR of 205# for 2 off 2 board.  Not amazing I know but here’s what is pretty awesome for me; I handled this weight raw without second guessing myself.  Normally I would freak out over anything over 185# and mentally sabotage myself.  Not this time!  I think all the heavy work in the bench shirt is carrying over to me being more comfortable with heavier weight raw.  Let’s hope at least.

Accessory work:

• Banded incline DB presses 4 x12-15
• Cable tricep push downs 4×15
• Weighted dips 2×20
• Drigger’s press 4 x 12-15
• Hammer curls 4 x 12
• Cable curls 4 x 15

Out at Team Samson on Saturday for some deload squat and deadlift work.
