Today was the second session of my competition prep routine. I am keeping this prep nice and simple with a 12 week linear progression.
I love working out on a Saturday as I have plenty of time for pre-workout meals, warm-ups and the rest of the day to inhale plenty of post work out nutrition. Actually powered through the routine today, Bench, floor press, front squats and chins. Given the percentages were low I was in and out within an hour and 4 hours later I am feeling fresh full and raring to go for another session.
The highlight of today was front squats. Form was perfect, 5 second pause in the hole and great speed out of the bottom. These are really helping bring my quads up and give a wicked pump. It's still early days but the t-spine and ankle mobility work has really helped my squat.
This routine will have me peaking for the GPC qualifier so I will have to decide how to work it so I maintain a peak for Nationals 3 weeks later.
Funny shit for the day: seeing a young guy walk in to train, sporting a string tank top and toting a massive 2 gallon water bottle. In fact it looked like a mini version of one of those water bottles you see in the office watercooler. I mean...shit how much fluid does the guy need to do concentration curls and lateral raises!
Stay Strong
