First week of meet prep for the USPA Corpus Christi Classic is a wrap, and it felt great. I’m looking forward to this one, and hoping my training partners Rob Da’Savage Hall and Jordan Lawler win the raw and single-ply divisions so that we can call it a Big Tex Gym sweep (I’ll be going classic raw). Training from here on out will be three days a week, although occasionally I’ll throw in a fourth bodybuilding day to bring up some weak points. Monday: Squat Squat with sleeves 495x1 545x1 560x4 No belt 560x4
Mickey’s training partner today -- Carlos Moran from TPS dropped in at Big Tex and we got our pull on.
So far, so good. The next month will be make-or-break, so wish me luck, and if you’ve got any suggestions or questions about training, post ‘em below!
Decline bench press 225x10 315x8 275x10 Glute-ham raise superset GHR weighted situp 3x10 Perfect training session today. Felt like I had 8 or even 10 reps on both sets of 560, but played it smart for once. Wednesday: Bench and Deadlift Bench Press 315x3 340x1 365x2x2 Deadlift with stiff bar 635x2 670x1 700x3x2 675x2
Reverse hyperextension 50x3x8 And overdid it a bit today, of course. Smoked my doubles at 700, so I tried one beltless, but it was a no go. Did a quick double at 675 to compensate, but I need to not miss any reps from here on out! Friday: Accessory Safety bar front squat 445x3 No belt 385x3 Close grip bench press 315x3 335x2x3 Block pull with 3 second hold 515x1 605x1 655x1 705x1 Rear delt row superset seated cable row 3x8 Another great one to finish week one.
