Mobility done
A: Done but modified dip to arm support. Tried between boxes which sorta worked and at a dip station but that wasn’t really long enough to rest forearms
B: 275#
C: Done at 95# (50-54). Time cap was very doable. T2Bs first unbroken, last 3 sets 8 plus singles.
D: I took this as “active recovery” and kept row and bp light. I actually use a real bamboo bar of 3 pieces of bamboo taped together. I’ll post a vid or pic one of these days.

Mobility done.
A – Done.
B – 295#
C – Done. Stayed under 30 seconds each round. Did 115# for Lunges. Did 95# for PS. (Figured form and reps more important than weight on PS. Had I gone 115# I could see my form deteriorating too quickly.) T2B unbroken for first 6 rounds.
D – Row at 145#. DB bench at 55# for sets of 15. We don’t have anything heavier. Bamboo will do tomorrow. Ran out of time.

Mobility done
A) 1 set
B) haven’t done deadlift in a long time so I decided to work up to what I think is 70% of my max. Got all the way up to 190 and still moving the bar pretty well, slowed down at 180. Pretty happy with that.
C) done at 55# and AMSU.
D) only did the bamboo

Yay, fantastic to hear Candace. I want to get everyone feeling confident and strong with their positioning when pulling from the ground.

Nichole – if doing a competition on a weekend, what do you recommend as far as training leading up to the event date? Lighten up the loads at some point during the week of the event, but continue with the programming?

Nichole DeHart

Yep, def lighten up the loads. Depending on if the event releases the workouts, you may do parts of the workouts or the workout itself leading up to the weekend. Def take Thur as a rest day (if you comp is on Sat) and Friday do some light work to get the blood flowing, like rowing.
