When do you test?? Can’t wait to see how this training has worked for you !!

The plan is for late January. I live in a small town in Wyoming and there aren’t any meets close enough to be a viable option, so just gonna take a day, peak for it, and max.

Nice I’ll be watching !! That sound fkn creepy lol. (For clarification I won’t actually be watching you)

Everything is moving quickly. @MarkKO, with the 100% week/small PR, is the general rule to aim for a 10lb PR?

Five pounds usually. Ten is the absolute max.

Excellent

What are your current PRs? When was your last test of them?

Things look like they’re going well in here, looking forward to seeing some PRs after your peak!

Done on a stiff bar, moved fast AF, that jump cue is on right now.

@littlesleeper working off of a 505 DL, a 405 squat, and a 315 deadlift, sandbagged a bit on squats, but it’ll be there.

Peak Week 3 Day 1 (Squat)

Moved well, got video if I can get it on here haha 425 is my lifetime best after a squat specific block. I’m very happy with the 410 and how it moved today.

Super fast keep it going!! Plus you could of added another 10lbs easily

Bench

1 x 0 x 325

I know exactly what the fuck I did on the miss. Missed all my fucking cues, and it was stupid, should’ve calmed down and tried it again. Backed off to 315 to make sure and hit my 100% and about put it through the goddamn roof. I’m more pissed off at today than I have been at a lift in a long time.
