Split squats
4x6 55kg
Feeling those quads work is amazing. I measured them some times back at 26inch around, im pretty sure theyve gotten bigger, so i guess its time to pull out the tape measure soon. Maybe a sneaky progress pic?
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
Due to school starting again coach has decided to add supersets into my programming and basically make my live a living hell.
Highbar squats
2x6 142,5kg

I keep suprising myself with how well squats are going, form is looking sexy af and the weight is moving nice and easy. YES. Superset w/
pendlay rows 4x8
2 second pause benchpress
4x3 97,5kg
Moving pretty damn good. Bench is doing its thing, moving up slightly. I like it
superset w/ straight arm pulldowns
Deficit deadlifts
4x3 150kg
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…
Safety Bar Squat
4x5 142,5kg
I LOVE SSB squats. The way they force you forwards having to really fight the bar, is awesome. Ever since i started doing these, i’ve noticed my regular squats have started to have less hips shooting up which is Great.
Superset w/ lat pull downs 4x12
Romanian deadlifts
4x8 115kg
Super set w/ overhead press 4x5 47,5kg
Dumbell presses 4x8 20kg
No more close grip bench till competition due to me noticing the elbow again, no pain just it saying “Yo, i’m still here bitch” So decided to remove it for now.

And some barbell rolling over my quads/thighs. works wonder
