9 Weeks Out from USAPL Cbus Lifting Co. Spring Classic
I pushed my normal deadlift and box squat work to Sunday this weekend since I was at a work conference Friday and Saturday. I was feeling pretty run down so I kept everything slow and controlled (focused on negatives for box squats) so that way I could get a lot of work out of lighter weights.
Deadlift Day (Sunday):
A. Warm-Up - Breathing Drills, RPR Points
B. Kettlebell Swings - 3x5
C. Deadlifts - % sets
375x5
425x3
480x8
D. SSB Box Squats (beltless) - 3x8 w/ 290lbs (slow negatives and paused)
E. GHR - 3x10
F. Hanging Leg Raises - 3x12
Competitively - My last competition was the UPA Winter Rack Attack on December 17th (competed raw at 220lbs). It was my second meet back transitioning to competing raw, and my goal entering next year is to qualify for a larger raw competition (whether it be at the Arnold or elsewhere).
