17 Aug Team Samson Powerlifting- Catching up on some training. 7/16-7/22

[wa-wps]

Adam Driggers is keeping his retirement casual by still out-lifting active lifters on occasion. Shane Ford is training to compete at the SoFit Expo here in Jacksonville Fl. Filipe Gusmao is going through an offseason cycle prior to competing again.

I’ve had a few crazy weeks in a row, and over the next few days  I’ll post some logs catching up on where some of us are at in training. This is for our training week starting 7/16. Let’s get to the training!

Adam Driggers

Having gone heavy, and also having gone in gear these past few weeks, it was time for a deload. Adam took 275lbs for 3, for several sets before calling it a day.

Shane Ford

At 5 weeks out from competing at the SoFit Expo, we are in the home stretch of this training cycle. At this point, I’m handling weights in the squat that ive never handled before. 805 lbs was the high set of the day. We then went to 830 reverse band. We chose to deload on deadlift day, to work on wedging and getting behind the bar more.

805

This was the set before the last. A PR with 805. I cut it a little high, I pitched forward from the get go, and couldn't quite recover. Got it done either way. #squat #benchpress #deadlift #dtwd #heath #fit #strong #instagood #bodybuilding #gym #instahealth #photooftheday #workout #wod #weightlifting #train #training #tentwentylife #teamsamson #powerlifting #fitness #fitspo #fitfam #beardgang #1020l #1020life

830 Reverse Band

Solid way to end the day. Had a near catastrophe warming up, but I got my shit together to hit a PR, then hit this reverse band set of 830. #squat #benchpress #deadlift #dtwd #heath #fit #strong #instagood #bodybuilding #gym #instahealth #photooftheday #workout #wod #weightlifting #train #training #tentwentylife #teamsamson #powerlifting #fitness #fitspo #fitfam #beardgang #1020l #1020life

405 Pull

Working some form cues on this deload week. Working on making sure I get and keep my butt down and get behind the bar. #squat #benchpress #deadlift #dtwd #heath #fit #strong #instagood #bodybuilding #gym #instahealth #photooftheday #workout #wod #weightlifting #train #training #tentwentylife #teamsamson #powerlifting #fitness #fitspo #fitfam #beardgang #1020l #1020life
