As I write this I am 7 days out from Record Breakers. At this point in time, all the work is done and the last week is just about keeping things moving and feeling good before meet day. For me, that means I will be training 3x a week at around 50-60% of my comp lifts and some blood flow work. If I was a bigger and stronger guy like my training partner Shawn Doyle I would pretty much take the whole week off because he needs that much rest. If it was a smaller lifter or a female lifter the week looks different they do better lifting a bit heavier closer to the meet so they may hit their openers on Mon and easing it down the other days. The point is don't fall in love with a certain protocol for everyone. Know the lifter and their recovery abilities to make the plan accordingly for that individual. 10-25-19 Deadlifts- 638lbs x1, 551lbs x1 for 2 sets Lat Pulls- 3x8 s/s GHR- 3x12 Cable Crunches- 3x15 10-27-19 Squats- 583lbs x1 Chest Supported Rows- 140lbs x8 for 2 sets Lat Pulls- 3x8-10 Supinated Cable Rows- 3x8-10 10-27-19 Pause BP- 418lbs x1, 451lbs x1, 473lbs x1 Spoto BP- 396lbs x3, 407lbs x3, 418lbs x3 CG BP- 374lbs for 2 sets of 4 reps DB Sides- 2x10-12 s/s DB Cleans- 2x12 Cable Ext- 2x12 s/s Face Pulls- 2x15 10-29-19 Squats- 605lbs x1, 650lbs x1 Pause Squats- 496lbs x1, 539lbs x1 Bulg Split Squats- 2x6 ea leg Lat Pulls- 3x8-10 Ab Wheel- 3x12 10-31-19 Pause BP- 440lbs x1 CG Spoto BP- 374lbs x3, 396lbs x3 BP- 374lbs for 2 sets of 3 reps DB Sides- 2x10-12 s/s DB Cleans- 2x12 Cable Ext- 2x12 s/s Face Pulls- 2x15 11-1-19 Squats- 561lbs x1 Deadlifts- 551lbs x1 GHR- 2 sets of 8 reps s/s Lat Pulls- 2 sets of 8 reps Band Abs- 2x20
