I am currently 5 weeks out from the XPC Finals at the Arnold and 12 weeks out from the RPS US Open in San Diego, CA where I am lifting at 114 raw.

Saturday 1/23/16

Squat and deadlift work

Plan was to work up to my last warm up and test openers.

Warm up

McGill Big 3 (about 15 mins. on core work alone)

Goblet squats

Squat Work:

Bar 2×20

95 x 5

135 x 5

185 x 3

215 x 2

255 x 1

275 x 1 Wraps on

300 x 2 Last Warm up, wraps on

340 x 1 Opener

Moved a little slower than I liked but depth was right there and I had some good speed out of the hole.

Deadlift Work:

135 x 5

205 x 3

255 x 1

285 x 1

300 x 2 Last warm up

340 x 1 Opener.

This like the squat moved a little slower than I liked.

Accessory Work:

Bulgarian split squats 3 x 15

One legged good mornings 3 x 15

Stir the pots x 100

As I get closer to meet time I will start to taper back on accessory work.

Very happy with how opener went. I kept my back tight, bar path was good and I had good speed off the chest.

Accessory Work:

Board work: 185 to a 2 board for 3×3

Incline DB Press 3 x 15

Weighted dips 4 x 10-12

Driggers Press 4 x 15

Explosive push-ups 5 x 5

Stir the pots x 100

My SI joint flared up and the muscles all around it started to tighten up. Had a massage and some chiro work done.  Talked to Brian and he suggested to start doing McGill work two times a day and walking some the morning.  Started doing this and being much more consciousness about how I move throughout the day (i.e. MOVE LIKE AN ATHLETE) Since I started doing all that the SI joint has significantly improved.

One more deload and then ready to push through the rest of the MEAT PREP and take some heavier weights!
