Today I set my new five rep maxes on the squat and bench. My body weight was at 233 in the morning, however after three days of up coming work and all the eating I do there, chances are I'm gonna be back at 235 on Monday.
Squat- Singles working up to 255x5 (shitty form), and 265x5 (better, but still not great form), both were PR's. I decided that I would use the SSB on Mondays and Wednesdays to work on form, then a straight bar on Fridays.
Bench- 200x5. big PR. felt good. nuff said.
Power cleans- 5x185x5. Did all these in a matter of 6 or 7 minutes, so it might as well be considered conditioning.
I found another contest that I want to do. It's the Ohio Hercules strongman competition held by Steve Slater. It will be my first platinum level contest where I am hoping to take first and qualify for teen nationals finally. However, I'm not sure how I am going to work my training around it until then. I know I am going to do the Texas method at least til new years, but I would like to work on some sort of a periodization method so I can peak for this contest. I wish this contest would be pushed back another month or two so I can do the texas method a little bit longer. No need to worry about that now though.
