raising my total and beginning strongman
Last year I competed in a couple of PL meets; this year I want to continue to bring my PL total up and compete in at least one strongman competition. Currently looking at a couple of options in June or July.
Last year's meet PRs were 385, 275, 450. Once I've picked out a PL meet I will decide on particular goals depending on timing, but long-term goals include a 1300+ total.
Right now, after a 6-8 week hiatus from squatting, I am back with a recovered hip and going to run a Texas Method setup. Instead of fives on volume day, I'm going to run triples for a while. Down the line I will start doing some event training on weekends, and the plan may adapt at that point.
April 11th
squat: 315 x 3 x 8, fast and easy
press: 165 x 3 x 8, a few grinders but mostly snappy
power clean: 155 x 3; 175 x 3; 195 x 1 x 5, sloppy. experimenting with grip width to try to make my rack position less ugly.
