Scott Paltos has been doing my programming since March 2015 for both powerlifting and physique. Read back at previous training logs to see what my off-season contained to prep for both PL and physique. May - September we coined #creatingamonster to bring a bigger package to the stage. With physique comps done for 2016, we will transition back to strength work in preparation for the Arnold.

This is the 3rd week of pushing heavier before deload.  Last week I took 275 for a single.  Hit it solid but could've been smoother/faster. This week I took 3 singles at 275 and it felt so much better.  Smoother, more confident and depth wasn't an issue at all.  Position was perfect.

Bench day went well.  I had taken 165 the week before.  Ended up working up to 185 this week and while it was a little slower than I would like, but I misgrooved it a bit off my chest.  So I know I can make it cleaner.

Hit 4 training days this week.  It's been a good balance of not pushing to try to get 5. At this point, recovery is more important to prepare for the next session than it is to cram in a bunch of days.  This was a really good week.  Lots of good training wise and a lot of other good things coming around too.

For me right now, feeling the weight is good.  Excited and ready for the deload and then ramping back up again for the meet.
