This week I wanted to test my powerlifts as I am leaving to go out of town Thu-Wed of next week and I’ll miss 2 squat and 1 bench training sessions. I figured this week would be a good week to push some very heavy training maxes and see where I’m at since my last powerlifting competition was about 150 years ago in November 2007… So plan is to do a heavy box squat and deadlift tonight then a heavy bench on wed and recover while we’re travelling. Going to take some of my Lifeline travel equip (cables, jungle gym and heavy rope) to at least do some GPP type work. Will suck missing 2 of my scheduled kettlebell training sessions, that stuff goes down the shitter fast. Will probably go to the gym Thu morning before we fly out and hit a long cycle set then will be back to training Wed next week.. At least I’ll be able to rest and repair some. Gotta’ look on the bright side yeah?!?!?
