This basically was my “off-season.” I had planned a test meet for May 9th but later realized my graduation is that day so my next meet will be USAPL Raw Nationals in July. Looking back I am happy my squat and bench improved but I wish I had been a bit more consistent with my deadlift training, particularly in light of the fact that lift has been stagnant for a while. I kind of switched from one program to another halfway through without really having a concrete goal for the end of this phase as I did for Squat and Deadlift.

Well anyway thanks for anyone who followed along. I will take the rest of this week as a break from the weights and start a 12-week cycle leading up to Nats next week.
