DECIDED TO DO A MEET!! Haha, yeah. So Christian and the rest of the team are doing a meet in December here in Chicago. I honestly looked at Christian one day and said, I think I should just do that meet, so I don't have to go through this hell-ish training cycle again.
He laughed, probably thought I was kidding, but I just registered today so who's laughing now! Lol.
Final week of this 3 week mini cycle. We are in the concentric phase, so as stated last week, we are adding reverse bands to our max effort work. I really like it because it's allowing me to move a moderately heavy weight with a little more speed.
Overall, it was a good week. Deadlifts were the most challenging on Friday because of that stupid 5 rings bar. (It's not stupid, it's awesome. It just makes deadlifting extremely tough.) Determined to make it work though!
Surprised myself on Monday's squats handling 280 with a cambered bar. Squats have been feeling good so I'm excited to sorta test things out in the coming weeks.
