Meet Cycle - Week 1, D1 - Deads

December 8, 2014
Before Supper

First week of meet prep for February 7 in Cold Lake. I've got basically 8 weeks of solid work with one week rest prior. I'm using Josh McIntyre's suggestion with the Cube Kingpin for my squat and deads (I'm starting with the second week to make it work), the Red Bearded Bastard Bench (RBBB) program, and the ASS program as my fourth day to get some extra pressing/tricep volume and bodybuilding stuff.

I also started David Horne's beginner grip program just because I don't really have any specific hand strength goals at the moment and I'm interested in the results. Plan is as it's spelled out at 3x a week. The only change I did is I'm using an EZ bar for the wrist curls and reverse wrist curls. Plan is to give it 12-16 weeks.
