7 Weeks from UPA Winter Rack Attack
Yesterday was my first day back training squats or deads in a few weeks (see my last log) - But things felt pretty decent. I worked up to 445x3 in sleeves then did my accessory work and called it a day. 7 Weeks till meet time and things are still going great overall!
General Warm Up (about 10 mins):
*Breathing Drill - 1 set of 5 breaths
*Muscle Activation Trigger Points - 20 seconds each point
*Walking Lunges - 2 trips of 6 lunges

A*Box Jumps - 2x3
B. Squats - % work
350x5

Competitively - My last competition was the UPA Summer Showdown August 6th - And my next meet is the UPA Winter Rack Attack on December 17th (competing raw at 220lbs). This will be 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).
