Going against a lot of opinion, I am 10 days out from a meet and yes, I am using bands still. After my mock meet (which I felt was a great decision to do) I am feeling great, I was programmed to take 100% this weekend but I am going to skip these days for a couple of reasons. First I want to make sure I am fully recovered from last weeks mock meet per advice from coach Brandon Smitley and I will be up at EliteFTS helping out at the UGSS Wendler seminar!
Next week I will be taking 60% on Monday and 30% on Wednesday of all my lifts prior to the meet and then hang on for the ride Thursday evening during the end of my water cut and prep to SFW Saturday September 17 rapping the EliteFTS team shirt under my singlet with smiles all the way around! I have learned so much about myself this past training cycle and thats what it is all about!
