Training weight said 251 lb after training, which i find hard to believe. I was 244 lb bare ass naked last week, so that is just close to imposible.

Training today was ok. Im not so impressed by the super katana. It forces me out of the growe i like and i am more of a pec presser, whereass the super katana wants you to belly bench.

What is your preferred method of deloading?

 

[Eclipse]

What is your preferred method of deloading?

It depends on what the purpose is. This is just to give a break from the equipment in my training, so i will stay raw do a little higher in the rep range between 5-8 reps and i will probably stay below 70% of my max.

Approaching a competition, my deload schedule is very different. I will then take 2½ weeks of from heavy deadlifting in equipment, almost 2 weeks for squatting and 1½ weeks for bench.

Be aware that deloading is very individual and depending on the tune of your nerve system and conditioning, it is very likely that something else will suit you better. For example. A relative novice light lifter requires very little deload time before he is ready to go try his best.

Great work man, presses look good.

Great work man, presses look good.

Thanks Big Z...i hope to press 660 lb of the 3'' board for a single in a few weeks, but lets see. I'm still working to get back where i was, but at least im progressing that way

 

[PrinceVegeta]

Another nice and easy session. I feel good and look forward to some heavier weights on monday where i will do some squatting with knee wraps. I got myself a new pair from APT, so i will try those out and see if they are any good :icon_ninja:

 

[Samoan-Z]

Excactly right Mr Z, not 100% deload, but relatively light. Starting monday i have 3 real hard weeks ahead, and then i deload for real approaching Danish nationals. The rumour is out that my worst competitor will not show for the competition, but lets see, i want to battle him
