ME Lower (Friday)
Did Elephant Bar Deadlifts again using a Dynamic start. Not only did I pull a 5lb PR, but I didn't have to hitch it up this time. Still, as always I'm only looking to get better.

ME Upper and Lower last week
I finally am getting around to posting these. The first clips are my first time with an elephant bar, working up to 560. The next clips are me hitting barbell push press up to 265

ME Upper
Monday ME Upper, was barbell push press. I am switching to a three week wave approach with Max Effort for the foreseeable future due to my weight cut. This is a double with a slower eccentric with 90% of my max at my heaviest Bodyweight.

Training timeline for a comp.
Hello fellow lifting enthusiasts. Curious to what people find their optimal competiton training timeline. Is it 4 weeks leading into a comp? 6, 8 or 10 weeks out? How different are you lfting initially to the competition?

I personally have a 24 week cycle, a 12 week base phase + a 12 week peak Phase. During the base phase the focus is muscle and capacity building, with a slight focus on absolute strength (It's definitely still there but not to the extent as the peak Phase) I also won't do as many event days. In the peak Phase it is the opposite, the focus on absolute strength goes way up, and the max effort lower day officially becomes an event day for the remaining 12 weeks till Comp.
