The younger guys are asking me questions more often and I always take time to help them out. I must be saying something right because they are liking the advice and seeing results from it.
This was the end of the wave peak, next up after two rest days is the deload week. This is one area when I was younger and into powerlifting was never talked about in books. You basically lifted heavy in a periodized method and the only true rest week was the week prior to the competition. Rest was for the weak :). Well fast forward many years and I can tell you first hand that properly spaced deload weeks are pure gold. For some it may not have to be once a month but normally your body will start to give you signs. Ignore them and reap the benefits of getting sick or injuring yourself.
Lots of warm up sets for the squats today and set another PR for my squat. My estimated 1 rep max is now 380 lbs. All in all I set 3 PR's this week awesome!!
Did a few more heavy sets of romanian deadlifts today as I will be moving to another exercise in the future to spank my hamstrings.
Front squats well like normal at the end of a workout they just plain suck ass.
Forgot to mention I have awesome chest DOMS from my chest workout yesterday, those red bands...
Core and cardio over the next two rest days and then deload time hell ya.
Stay hungry gym rats!!
