11 Nov Lisa Guggisberg: Week 1 Offseason

I recently competed in the RPS South Florida Conquest where I totaled 1118 in my first multiply meet at 118lb and the RPS Reverent Rising meet on October 29th where I totaled 1090 at 116lbs.  I am currently in offseason and won’t compete again until the 2017 Arnold.

Took all of last week to truly deload. Didn't go to the gym once and ate what I wanted, it was much needed. Ready to start offseason now. Easing into it with some light pause squats, RPE 6. @googs_firestrong usually beats me if I don't pause long enough. #inzer #1020Life #tentwentylife #PRS #thisisfemalepowerlifting #TeamPRS #powerlifting #PowerRackStrength #captainjacked #1020strong #ladiesofPRS

One of my goals this offseason is to grow some size on these stems, particularly my quads to help fill out my briefs when I go back to gear work. Took some suggestions from @tuckerloken and had a killer leg workout today: ????Leg extension 4×12 subset with split squats with one drop set. ???? Single leg press 4×15 with slow tempo then faster on last 8-10 reps. ???? Laying leg curl subset with standing leg curl 4×12. ????Finisher of 200m walking lunges with every 5th lunge stop and do 5 jump squats. One thing I do to get the most out of my accessory work is to really focus on the muscle being worked and make sure I'm getting a nice contraction. Don't just rush through your accessory work. Make it count! Keep an eye out for the 10/20/Life for Powerbuilding e book coming out soon! @dvegatron. #inzer #1020Life #tentwentylife #PRS #thisisfemalepowerlifting #TeamPRS #powerlifting #PowerRackStrength #captainjacked #1020strong #ladiesofPRS
