Pretty light weight but lots of volume on the agenda today. This is pretty much how the first three sundays look, just with a little more weight each week. Even with the lighter weights the 8th rep was a tough one on all three sets. The legs up were all paused and they were easy all the way through with good explosion the whole time.
As Jamie mentioned we are thinking of doing a meet at the end of January. Which will pretty much coincide with the end of this routine. Once we decide for sure if we are going to do it I will have to modify the last few weeks to allow for some gear work to get done. I’ve updated the side with my new goals that I’d like to see at the end of this routine. They put me within 2.5kg of qualifying for nationals.
From the numbers, it looks like this cycle will be all about the deadlift. Good luck in your pursuit. Is that meet in January a qualifier for nationals?
It is indeed all about the deadlift. I feel it is definately my weak point and I think it’s also the quickest way to get my total up to national qualification standards. I’m not 100% sure but I believe as long as you make your total at a meet with at least 1 national level judge you can qualify.
