been doing box jumping for height. I've been hitting the 50"
with more confidence. I need to work on my olympic lifting, I
don't feel like I utilize my hips as much as I should. I got away
with being strong up top but now I'm not as strong. So now let's

felt strong...hit 441# for 3 singles with short rest. I've been
doing a lot of close grip benching to bring up my tri's. Using
rep out methods with different weight. Me and Sniper went out
to the track for some conditioning, then some 100 M sprints.
Back to the basics...straight sprinting and racing!!

*It's has begun...heavy weight with the back squat. It
was still manageable and breathing wasn't an issue.
I'll probably make bigger jumps in weight from now on,
hopefully by contest I can hit 275# for 20 reps. For the
Deadlift...I'm gonna try and use a fat bar, farmer's handles
or trap bar to help improve my farmer's walk. I need to be
able to pick up 240# off the ground, a 480# total. My current
DL is 425-440# but having a neutral grip makes it easier.
Less strain on the back and more emphasis with the hips.

*Almost had 405#, I need to build confidence in
heavy weight. 385# felt good, I need to work on
"spreading the floor with my feet". This allows
more hips and torque to the lift. Didn't have much
time for farmer's walk. Just did grip holds and
repped out 310# for 50 reps. I did about 25 straight,
then did quick sets of 5 after. 90 more pounds to go
with the farmer's walk.

*Box squats are getting heavier with the added band
resistance. I'm trying to use the axle fat bar as much
as possible. My grip strength needs to improve for the
upcoming contest. I'm starting to add heavy bicep work
with hammer curls, reverse grip chin ups and fat bar curls.
Also flipped the tire around, it was heavy and difficult. I only
did singles and rested 30-60 seconds in between flips. I still
feel strong but there's a big difference when I weighed 185#.
In the next 6 weeks If I could add 5-8#'s of muscle for the
contest and keep most of my conditioning I would be in
perfect shape.

hard again too!!
