Notes: Hit my goals for the day. Wasn't willing to go stupid hard on the deads this close to competition, so hit a modest 10 and decent 16 for the back off. Axle bench I'm pretty happy with, because despite 6x326 not being a PR, 16x256 holds significance. When I started 5/3/1 post ACL rupture, I managed 255 for 8 as my topset. Hitting 256 for twice as many reps after a backoff is pretty cool.
Had my normal Panda Express cheatmeal yesterday. Woke up at 197.6.
Saw your new contest rundown, is this your first time doing a keg toss? Sounds fun. I've noticed you have some really good upper-back rounding when you deadlift, something I don't see emphasized a lot.
ReplyDeleteThis'll be a first time keg toss. Been avoiding it all this time, haha, but I guess I have to become a better strongman now, haha.
DeleteAnd appreciate the feedback on the deadlift. I'm definitely built for it with a short torso, but also means my squats look like a horror movie.
