Everything is starting to feel good again. This is usually where I really mess up on deloads and train heavy.

Same here. Hang tough.

[jwood]

Alright deload is complete 2 workouts to log here

Friday Night Training-not really a deload
Decided to just do the log and some pull ups but ending up doing a fair amount of work on the log, o well. It was fun

145x3
165x2
195x1

I am missing weight due to technique issues on the clean. So I dropped weight and figured some stuff out. Really helped, the last couple of reps were the easiest and the clean portion was just flying up. Ready to hit a PR now

Looking forward to it. Been wondering where you're going to take it next.

Sunday Training
Solid session today felt pretty good. Being that I went out last night and had a good buzz going on. Felt fine this morning, just need to make up some calories right now.

Power Cleans
135x2x3
185x3
205x1
225x1
235x1
245x1
255x1
Stopped here, just did not feel like I was going to be able to hit anything heavier so I changed gears a bit.

Fat Grip Cleans
135x2x3
155x3
185x 3 singles
These are a completely different movement than regular cleans.

Sprints with tire sled
Tire x 2 x 25 yards
Tire plus 45 x 4 x 25 yds
Tire plus 90 x 2 x 25, Wow!
Tire plus 45 x 2 x 25
The sprints with 2 45s were very hard. A little slow but I liked it.

Overall happy with the session today. This week I am going to start carb backloading. I am going to keep it pretty clean here. My carbs are going to come mostly from brown rice, sweet potatoes, things like that. Not gonna go crazy on the carbs. Will do a lot of tweaking along the way.

Good luck on the new program. Looking for a big year from you Jeremy. Know you have it in you.

Thanks steve, I am looking forward to big things also. I need to keep focus on the basics.

Also, going to keep my assistance much simpler. One day is going to be dips and pull ups the other days will be DB rows and a tricep movement for upper body.

Lower body is going to be very limited assistance, need to focus on big lifts and recovering.

Big Session to come off of a deload with. Those are some heavy power cleans.
Some pretty intense conditioning work as well. Good stuff.
Interested to hear about how the carb backloading goes. I am going to try and drop weight this summer. My first steps are going to be to cut out cheese and limit carbs to brown rice and sweet potatoes. Seeing you doing the same thing tells me I'm on the right track.
