Well, things have been going super well as of lately...I am very excited for my powerlifting meet next week...I will finally be able to do this i was really looking forward to doing it during the summer but a nerve damage problem stopped me dead in my tracks! This time nothing will stop me!! I still have some tightness and the nerves are finally beginning to fire correctly again so i am well on my way!
Monday i hit up some Back and biceps and i started things off with Deadlifts
I hit a PR....455lbs for 3 reps no belt or straps which i was really impressed with...The weight felt extremely light and i ripped it so hard from the ground that the weight almost pushed me off balance!
Last Friday i squatted 425 for an easy 3 reps as well....no belt or straps...I must say training without a belt has definately improved my core strength as well as my ab development....When i diet down next time my abs will be much deeper!!
As far as the offseason goes i have never really known how to bulk up correctly...I think one of the major reasons i am not super huge is because i stay relatively lean year around...This is a big mistake especially for a natural...I have a plan that i am going to stick with and hopefully i'll be able to add a lot more muscle to my frame....Despite being lean year around i managed to put on about 8lbs of muscle last year which is awesome considering i dieted for majority of the year
Personal training is going well....I am doing very well despite the hard times ahead of us...People have realized that health is very important and make it a priority to see me...I plan on increasing my certifications this year
Here is a list of my upcoming certification courses
- Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist http://www.nsca-cc.org/cscs/about.html
This certification is accredited and all the top strength coaches for the major sports leagues all have this certification
