Day 26
Thursday 19 January 2017
Bwt 230
HRV said to back off intensity..I ignored.

Bench press
45x10,95x5,135x3,185x1
215x2x5 sets

Squat with light belt and sleeves
135x5,225x3,315x1,365x1
405x5x5

Squat overload.
585x3sets

Rolling triceps..1 set of myo reps. Numbers dont really matter here.

Last day of any assistance with any major eccentric in the cycle.. concetric only assistance starts after.

All these 5x5s the past week are volume prs with bench dead and I think this squat, no big deal as volume is supposed to climb over time, it's just the work required to get stronger.
I have met that hard goal and now the next ten days is a stretch target a little bit heavier with 6's. Dealing with a mild head cold and a big ole dose of work at work.

The usual final sets, the squat was not as pretty as the first ones but I'll take it. The bench is grooving nicely for a,light CAT day

Deads look great as always.

[Bryan Dobson]

Thanks Manveer.

Agreed deads are looking really solid. That set from 446x5x5 looked smooth and that's a pretty good amount of volume! You finished up the September meet with around a 500 pull if I remember right? Definitely look on pace to start blowing past that.

Oops, sorry I forgot! The whole day was a blur for me. I know there's a USAPL meet coming up in NM, are you planning on that?
