My last competition was XPC Finals at the Arnold Classic in March. I'm currently adapting my training to some hip joint problems and plan on competing in a raw meet in the Fall. am currently using a linear waved setup - using Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 percentages for my main lifts, and programming my supplemental and assistance work into 4 week blocks based on what I've found to work well as I've been developing my training for myself and for my clients.
This was a hectic week and I'm playing a little bit of catch up on my logs (training went as scheduled) - below is a quick summary of both my squat and overhead press days from last week, I got 6 reps on both days (which the goal was 1 or more), and things are progressing really well right now. I anticipate PRs soon,
Squat Day:
A* Box Jumps (from seated position) - 3x5
A2* Kettlebell Swings - 3x5
B. Squat - (5/3/1 week of percentages, from week 3 of training)
