How was your diet while out of town?

[Swuuu]

Was a good 3 days of rest

Give me your weights! haha

[MTCS]

Was a good 3 days of rest

Bro, I hope you got the rest that you needed! I am sure that it did a world of good!

Thoughts of the day!

Well today is the end of week seven and the end of my deload week! I again have chose to remove the 90% limitation on my primary exercises and push myself as hard as I can to improve (and to close the gap between me and E_P_C)

My new 1RM numbers are as follows:

Bench Press-273

Squats-364

Deadlifts-435

Military Press-203

The new 5/3/1 schedule is as follows:



These next three weeks are going to be killer but I know I have the motivation and desire to get through my lifts and have success!

[burlyman619]

Solid numbers MT!

[MTCS]

Dude If you cut for that long, then turn around in a short period of time and compete in a powerlifting comp, that ALONE is impressive. Its pretty ambitious if you ask me. Youre competing against yourself first and foremost.

[400Lb Gorilla]

Before your PL meet load up on food and rest. Then go back to cutting. I semi-answered your question in the USMC thread lol
