Good work. Should come together on the platform.

When is meet? How long is peak? Taking steps to improve recovery?

Same as you with 2 plates, as soon as its anything above 100kg for me i start thinking about it to much even though ive bin there before kinda deal?

Nah I’m over it now for a few weeks lol. Hit 120kg a couple hours ago too

Meet is 22nd/23rd of september, Its the SBD cup (ipf approved ofc)
We’re doing a small taper, which will be roughly 4 weeks, but i guess the entire prep his bin 3 months since last competition.
Not doing anything extra yet, just the usual some stretching, foam rolling…

Ow shit, Guess its all the work you’ve bin doing at 100kg. Might have to think about going with a same approach in the future… I havent touched 100kg+ since my competition maybe that doing me in. I also blame the lower bodyweight though

And volume too. And high frequency.

Due to school starting again coach has decided to add supersets into my programming and basically make my live a living hell.

I keep suprising myself with how well squats are going, form is looking sexy af and the weight is moving nice and easy. YES.

Moving pretty damn good. Bench is doing its thing, moving up slightly. I like it
superset w/ straight arm pulldowns

Deficit deadlifts

Moving way to easy, feeling like i could have done set of 5+ Keeping to the program though.
Super set w/ Hanging leg raises 4x15

Incline dumbell presses to finish it up.

Stuff is moving quick, Body isnt feeling fatigued, I’ve got a good feeling about this prep.
I’ve started doing some more streching/rolling to stay on top of recovery.
Bodyweight is also ON point. No need to do a cut this time around, which i like…

Its coming together.
