Intensity Night Squats/Volume Bench I'm coming to the end of this cycle and looking at a deload next week before testing. I skipped the last deload week and I am just starting to feel it. The hips are starting to feel a little beat up but not so bad that it is an issue its 5 weeks until my next comp so testing and a couple weeks of heavy singles and doubles is the plan.
Squats - This is the last heavy day of the cycle for squats and it went pretty well. I was considering a double at 212.5kgs but after the first one I settled on the single. It actually felt heavier than I thought it would. I may have hit a second one but 5 weeks out its not worth risking an injury no matter how slight.
Bench - tonight's 3x3 went fine. my butt came off the bench once ore twice but it isn't in competition. On the day the but will stay down and I'm looking at a new PR.
Deadlifts - I decided to pass on the sumo tonight since the hips are getting a little beat up. I already hefted quite a few kilos already so I kept the warm up jumps a little higher than usual. I reset between reps and the weight went up ok. I loaded 200kgs on but it wasn't moving tonight. Funny how heading into a comp I do better deadlifting less. From here I am deloading and reducing the stress but keeping the movement down. I am hoping to add to last year's 200kg PR.
Still doing all my pulls with hook grip including rows and deadlifts. I can get a good grip and it doesn't even bother my thumb anymore so it looks like I am sticking with it for now and see how far I can take it.
