Grip Work
Solid week of training considering my schedule. I'll be back on the island on the 20th for a good and much needed vacation. I hope to get some good training in while I'm there. All this raw work has paid off but at the same time I'm getting way more sore than I should be which could be an indication of either over training or that its time to get back in the gear. 675 on the squat went really easy, no problems on it whats so ever. I plan on my openers for the state meet as of right now being:
622 squat
418-445 bench
501 deadlift
All of these are stupid easy in training and I plan on going for at least 1800 at this upcoming USPF State meet. I hope I'm able to pull 585 at this meet, I've pulled it with straps I just need to get my grip up to par.
A little about me
I have competed in both Olympic Weightlifting and Bench-Only Lifting. I competed in Olympic Lifting as a kid. Best lifts of 255 Olympic Press, 225 Snatch, 255 Clean & Jerk. I met many of the great lifters and coaches from the 60's and 70's. After a 20-year break to serve my country I started lifting regularly again and competing in Bench-Only. Best Lift: 419lbs "equipped".
Feel free to follow along on the adventure...
