FML, 6 weeks out and I get tonsillitis, haven’t trained since Tuesday. Whole week of prep out of the window

Ain’t gonna kill you. You’ve put in months of work and most of the way there. Bit of time off ain’t gonna change a thing. Still on track if a bit of a detour.

OOF. So my few days off with Tonsilitis turned into 2 weeks off with fever and flu.

This has inevitably fucked up my competition prep training plan. I don’t have the time to run Sheiko comp prep so im going to run Bulgarian for the next 4 weeks leading up to the meet.

Reassuring levels of strength remaining. The bigger problem is going to be my weight gain. Not only did I lose 2 weeks of being able to diet, I have somehow managed to gain a few pounds as a result of being bed ridden. Currently 196lb… 4 weeks to get down to 181lb.

My water cut is going to have to be on point.

Setting myself a relatively aggressive daily minimum for this peak cycle.

Daily minimum:
Squat - 210
Bench - 150

My deadlift clusters will be ~260 for 5-10 singles, will probably progress the volume each session, so 5 singles sessions 1, 10 singles in my final session before my deload week.

Plan is bench 6x per week, Squat 5x per week and Deadlift 2x with one rest day. meaning one day is all 3 lifts.

Hows the heavy lifts feeling?

774

feeling pretty good considering how long I was ill. I feel like hitting my openers 3 days in a row without any grinding is a good start.

That said I haven’t felt like my 1RM’s are on the table, but I could probably get within 5kg or so.
Best thing is that my squats dont hurt, and not to rub it in, but my back doesn’t hurt at all which is pretty rare (touch wood).

:fu: good for you lol.
