i just had a meet in March, qualified for GPC Worlds in Las Vegas this September. so.... now with what was 4 days of prep notice, im entering SPF Nationals on May 16th.... yeah yeah.... gonna be interesting none the less. definitely not peaked for this, but i also didnt peak for March. just kinda trained in my normal reps/sets and ended up setting PRs in all 3 lifts and total. since the meet i have been working more on my hip strength and mobility, along with shoulder mobility. been benching 3 days a week since my bench sucks, and slowly brought my squat stance out wider and bar a little lower on my traps. ive always been a very high bar and mid stance squatter and it got me 625 very easily at my last meet. now with the wider stance the same weights as before are moving a lot faster and considerably easier. i have goals for Vegas, and this is what im using this meet for. i dont care if i win my class or not, i want to see where i stand against my Vegas numbers of 700/400/650 and see where i need the most work. as fast as squats were going Tuesday, i think i have a very real shot at 700 if not more. bench has definitely gone up with the volume ive been working it. as for deads, i dont train them but maybe every couple weeks and i never pull them above 80-85% since the bars at my gym suck. my grip is good for 650+ with ease, my sticking point has been lockout(hip strength). ive been hitting them very hard and definitely tell a difference with bar speed with my usual weights. also focused hard on my posterior chain and core strength. as for this meet next weekend, the plan is to open at 640/360/585, seconds are hopefully going to be 700/390/620(1710 total and National Record) that way if i hit 700 i can go higher, or gives me a second shot at it. either way i will post back results soon after.
