W9D5: 2” Block Deadlift ———————————————————————— 2” block deadlift @ ~365x4x5 ———————————————————————— That’s all I had time for today, but the only other exercise I was gonna do was chest supported rows. Ah well.. BUT THATS IT! Last day of prep in the books! Now I just need to test my openers and then rest rest rest. Game day Saturday June 30th! Let’s get it... btw, ignore that first rep 😂 ———————————————————————— Shirt: @barbellelite_ Wrist straps: @elitefts Shin savers: @mbslingshot ———————————————————————— #barbellelite #bemore #neverletup #chasegreatness (at LSU University Recreation (UREC))

W9D3: Sumo Deadlift ———————————————————————— Sumo deadlift @ 385x1x3; 395x1x2; 405x1x1 Close grip pulldown Hip abduction ———————————————————————— Feeeeeelin gooood! I actually went into today thinking 405 would be a grinder but it felt like an RPE 8ish. Could’ve gotten maybe 2-3 more reps. Right on track to hit some meet PRs. Let’s gooooo. Check out @barbellelite_ and get your tee before we run out! ———————————————————————— Shirt: @barbellelite_ Belt: @inzer_official Wrist straps: @elitefts Shin savers: @mbslingshot ———————————————————————— #barbellelite #bemore #neverletup #chasegreatness (at LSU University Recreation (UREC))

W9D2: Bench Press ———————————————————————— Bench press @ 195x1x3; 200x1x2; 205x1x3 Bent row @ 145x3x8 ———————————————————————— Today called for a top single at 205 but I was feeling an AMRAP so I went ahead and got 3. Bench is feeling real smooth (except for that 3rd rep.. fell out of position a bit). I think I could’ve gotten another 2 or so. Here’s to hoping for a PR next Saturday. Let’s get it ———————————————————————— Shirt: @barbellelite_ Wrist wraps: @elitefts ———————————————————————— Also ladies/gents, we’re about halfway through the stock on the first @barbellelite_ tee after ONE day. Get your orders in now to reserve a tee before we run ———————————————————————— #barbellelite #bemore #neverletup #chasegreatness (at LA Fitness Baton Rouge - Siegen Ln.)

W9D1: Low Bar Squat ———————————————————————— Low bar squat @ 300x1x3; 305x1x2; 315x1x1 Pull ups Hack squat ———————————————————————— Last official week of the program and it’s basically a test of all my maxes right before the program started. 315 feeling like an RPE 7-7.5 so we’re right on track. Dialing back most of my accessory lifts so fatigue won’t be a problem come the following Saturday, the 30th. Let’s get it! ———————————————————————— Shirt: @barbellelite_ Belt: @inzer_official Knee sleeves: @sbd.usa Compression pants: @virusintl Wrist wraps: @sbd.usa ———————————————————————— #barbellelite #bemore #neverletup #chasegreatness ———————————————————————— 🔥🔥First official @barbellelite_ tee will be releasing TONIGHT @ 8 PM central. Be on the lookout for the post detailing the release!🔥🔥 (at LA Fitness Baton Rouge - Siegen Ln.)

W8D5: Pause Squat/Sumo Deadlift ———————————————————————— Pause squat @ 245x10x1 Sumo deadlift @ ~346x5x1 ———————————————————————— My hips did not want to work with me today. They’re in so much pain 😫😫 but in this sport, you have to learn how to adapt. I cut back on sumo to 5 singles instead of the prescribed 10 singles. Hopefully a few days rest after next week and we’ll be good to go for the meet! ———————————————————————— Shirt: @barbellelite_ Belt: @inzer_official Knee sleeves: @sbd.usa Compression pants: @virusintl Shin savers: @sbd.usa knee sleeves ———————————————————————— #barbellelite #bemore #neverletup #chasegreatness (at LSU University Recreation (UREC))

W8D3: Sumo Deadlift ———————————————————————— Sumo deadlift @ 375x5x1 Stiff-legged deadlift @ 235x4x3 Close grip pulldown Hip abduction ———————————————————————— Ditched the straps again, to get used to holding heavy things. I remember this around this time of my last block, I failed to do 375 for more than 1 single so I guess this is progress. Moving in the right direction. The 5th set, the bar moved a little forward on the pull and kinda shifted my balance so that took some adjusting. But overall, it moved relatively quick. ~2.5 more weeks.

W8D2: Bench Press ———————————————————————— Bench press @ 190x5x1 Close grip bench @ 170x4x3 Bent row @ 185x5x5 Pec fly Seated dips ———————————————————————— In perspective, bench press is the only lift that has been feeling reaaaal good. My overall goal for this upcoming meet was to hit at least my previous PR (~240) and I’m feeling pretty good about it. We’ll see when the actual meet comes though.
