Building, building, building..... After some distractions that forced me away from my training, I am so pleased to be back to the gym and focusing on rebuilding and shattering some very specific grip goals in late January 2016. I am eager to rebuild and continue moving forward with competing, being a business owner and enjoying the off season for my minions while they get back into the gym, work with their coaches and make every training day count.
Late this year I completely switched paths saying I had grip goals I wanted to accomplish and just left it at that. I specifically did not share details, I did not want to ruin the Christmas surprise. I plan on competing at the LA FitExpo in January at the Odd Haugen Strength Classic.
In light of my large amount of suckage lately, when Jedd and I spoke my plan was to take the ten days prior to the competition off from training. I would make day by day decisions on what I was doing in order to feel best prepared and recovered by January 23. My only concern with this approach is the rebound on grippers I tend to have the first week back, which in this case is competition day.
On Monday I did what I felt appropriate at the time.
Grippers 110 RGC, 8x1 for 2 second hold
Gripper Hold
COC 2, 3x3 sec
Rolling Thunder
My plan here was to just calculate my attempts. After some checking I just need to come in about 140 for my own satisfaction. Next week I will detail more of my plans headed into competition day and to pull this together and salvage what I can.
