11 Jan Team Samson Powerlifting- 1/7/17 Squat Training

With all of the family time, rest and food I’m sure every one had these past few weeks, it was finally time for some squttin’! We have Jon and Brian getting ready for the Arnold, so at this point in the year as in the past several years, the intensity cranks up. Jon worked up to 700 in some light gear for several sets, and everything looked pretty snappy. The fact that he is squatting and pulling without pain, makes it look like he can do some big things coming into this meet. Brian came in and got some work in as well, he starts prep for the Arnold this upcoming week. With the staph infection, and getting sick last week, he’s chomping at the bit to get into this meet prep. Clint Smith also came in like a crazy person this week and worked up to 650 for a triple with the safety squat bar. And finally Lisa Guggisberg, also prepping for the Arnold came in and hit some light singles in full gear.

It was a full house in the gym this weekend. When we have a bunch of people prepping for meets is when it gets more fun. Everyone is on their A game, intense, and full of sarcasm and insults. The closer we get to the meets, the more and more this all intensifies, and sometimes, there is no place anyone of us would rather be.

Haven't posted in a bit. Busy holidays and all. Getting back to some training with the team. @filipegusmao @gatortilidie @onlythestrong275 and a guest appearance at the Team Samson compound by @mrsgoogs #squat #benchpress #deadlift #dtwd #health #fit #strong #instagood #bodybuilding #gym #instahealth #photooftheday #workout #wod #weightlifting #train #training #tentwentylife #teamsamson #powerlifting #fitness #fitspo #fitfam #beardgang #1020l #1020life
