Tonight was the first session for week two of our peaking cycle for Nationals. I am sitting on the couch 1.5 hours post session and I am more than happy to see the end of training tonight. Squats were on the menu and our sadistic bastard coaches have mandated 3x6 reps at 75%.
To say those 3 simple sets were hard is a significant understatement. First set was ugly, still felt tight and stiff, second set I had to draw deep. Funny thing is I am walking around in a daze after my second set with a dumb ass grin feeling all happy with my efforts until I realised I still have another set to go....nice one dipshit. It was quiet tonight with a few of the team members starting late. Luckily Darwin was in early so we worked out sets together.
It's quite funny really, both relatively new only we are at opposite ends of the time continuum. Darwin is a strong lean fucker, great guy, only 17 and is already looking to take the open men's deadlift record at 260kg in the 75kg class. At Nationals his squat and deadlift is likely to exceed my three lift total!
Again the PTC crew were gathered around as we pumped through our last sets. As I mentioned before particularly for a newbie having 4-5 experienced guys watching your top sets and then following up with immediate coaching is invaluable.
I was short of time tonight so following top sets I headed home to get a meal into me and start the recovery process and get ready for benching!
Stay Strong
