12 days out from the XPC 21 Deadlift Salute. Since I'm getting so close to the meet none of my other workouts have been anything too crazy. A couple of the other guys I train with are getting ready for meets as well. Josh, a long time training partner and Strength Lab Coach, hit his bench opener today, a nice easy 315 lbs. He is lifting Friday afternoon at the XPC Finals at 165.
My workout:
100 band pull aparts
barx20
135x10
225x10
275x10
315x10
345 2x2
Despite my bench feeling great and I'm pretty confident I could top my current PR of 430, I've stayed pretty conservative and kept my focus on DL Only.
Accessory work:
Face pulls 3x20
Upright Rows 3x10
My bodyweight is the lowest I've been for this close to a meet in years. I've been sitting 222-225 so it will be no problem to hit 220.
Tomorrow I will pull my DL opener which should be around 725 give or take.
