This week has been great for the most part. A little muscular soreness and definite overall fatigue, but hitting my numbers. I am 2 weeks out from my meet!! Looking forward to getting on that platform and crushing my total from Nationals!
Friday Day 5
**Note – I did not feel great. Stress and work overload had me with little food in my system and not training until 6 pm. If you know me, you know this is REALLY late for me to be training. I had no idea what to expect or if I would even get close to any of the percentages I was expected to hit. I surprised myself!!
Mash Method Back Squats
- Set 1 (should have been 95%, but started at 90%) 285# x 1 rest 2 minutes (80%) 255# x 4
- Set 2 295# x 1 rest 2 minutes 265# x 4
- Set 3 305# (which is 95%) x 1 rest 2 minutes 275# x 4
Deadlifts from 4″ deficit 1rm then -15% for 3 – worked my way up to 355# and then dropped down to 300# for 3 (no belt)
