Recent comps: May 7, 2016 RPS Mid-Atlantic Powerlifting - Raw 132, Pro total June 12, 2015 NPC Junior Nationals - Women's Physique Scott Paltos has been doing my programming since March 2015 for both powerlifting and physique. The off-season was programmed to add more size and work my technique on my raw lifts. Then slowly transitioned to raw powerlifting meet prep for May. As of right now, tentative physique show planned for September... #creatingamonster.
Good week of training. I love that I don't have the typical split routine, nor is every week the same (example, Monday is always back or Wednesday is always shoulders). My plan is constantly rotating. Some back days are straight back, other back days are back and arms. Scott looks at the weeks past and the weeks to come and he rotates things to hit the body part frequency that I need.
Saturday
(Dare I say this leg day wasn't horrible? Don't get me wrong, still very tough, but I didn't almost vomit. Lots of good contractions and hitting things at different angles. Little more ink work done after this too. One more session and it should be finished!)

E. Seated hamstring curls 4x12 rest pause

Monday
(After having Sunday off, hit straight arms today. Great day with a lot of swole, but been noticing my pumps aren't great. So we are analyzing a few things to see what needs to be changed. Pumps aren't just for looking swole/big. Pumps open up the cells, shuttle all kinds of good nutrients, blood and oxygen into the muscle, which is needed for recovery and growth.)
