Lowcountry Strength has started meet prep for our next meet.  We’re currently training for the RPS Backyard Bash in Greenville, NC on June 9th.  So far we have 4-5 competitors getting ready for it.  Looking to be a good time.

Week 10 Shirted Benches:

3 Board work in the shirt:
75% for 3 sets of 3

Ended up doing 2 sets at 465 and one more at 485.  Felt really good.

4 Board work in the shirt:

working against mini bands

3 sets of 3 at RPE of 7

ended up with a top set at 405+minis

I was really skeptical about this.  I’ve had a hard time with bands in the past but was pleasantly surprised how well it went.  I’ll try to push this a bit more since I started feeling a bit more confident with this by the end of the sets.

Finished off with Db bench and chest supported rows.  I got a few more band pushdowns for a bit of a fluff and buff.
