WEEK 12/12 PART 2

TUES. DEC. 18
JUIJITSU (Light work out due to foot injury broken toes.) :(

WED. DEC. 19
Bike Intervals 5 x 20 sec. high resistance
/1 min. manual.


Olympic Bar Deadlifts 3 x 10 @ 75% 1RM (295 lbs. here)
Then 10 x 1 with 20 - 30 seconds between reps in this final 4th set with same weight. Done RAW. No belt or suit just TITE GRIP on my hands.
Floor had some uneven spots. The last 10 singles are the killer! But happy with how it went.

Water Skiers 3 x 10 130 lbs.

ROLLING THUNDER 2" handle 1 Arm Kneeling Cable Row 2 x 30 reps each hand 90 lbs.


Kind of almost an anti climatic finish to week 12. But you peak and max out on competition day not in the gym. I know that and I'd want to be scaling down now if I was actually prep'ing for a contest. The 10 day rest break for after the training cycle fits really well over the Christmas holiday.

Feeling good afterward.

Fealt A LOT better as a whole today! Back was a lot better and not sore or tender. Was worried that I tweeked it earlier and didn't know from what or really ripped it with pain and stiffness in low back, hips and hamstring/glutes. Fealt like a burning ring around the waist. But nothing POPPED! and all good tonight. WHEW! Will get A.R.T. done next week to be sure. This is the tough one of the 2 work outs in this part so Wednesday's gonna be easy now!)
