14 Weeks Out from XPC Finals @ The Arnold Classic
The movement for yesterday's 5x5 training was close stance SSB Good Mornings. I used 260lbs, which is 20lbs more than what I did 2 weeks ago; but still a long way from where these need to be. I'm confident building some strength with these submax good mornings will carry over well to my squat and deadlift. I followed those with my last week of straight leg deficit deadlifts (4th week). Next week will be back to max effort work; and sometime in the next few weeks I want to do a squat in my gear now that I've gained some weight back and am off my old medicine.
