Olympia Post Show 2020 2021

Week 7: Deload

ATHLETE SUMMARY:

PERSONAL THOUGHTS:

Really excited as this will be my last week before kicking off prep for the Indy Pro. I honesty am most pumped about brining myself into the show and the challenge in doing it. I think I can bring a best look (I know everyone always states that). I truly believe in my process and they buy in is so important for the psychological drive. I didn’t believe in the process for the last Olympia prep and that made it so mentally exhausting.

Training has been a deload this week, so nothing to exciting. I cut training volume in 1/2, so only 1 set per muscle group. I keep the load the same on my top set but at an RIR of 2. Connective tissue is feeling improved. I still have some Golfer’s elbow resolving but it’s getting better and I am avoiding exercises this week that irritate it. Specifically changed out the Hammer Strength DY row for a seated cable row. That supinated row can overload my forearm flexors. Also, I removed my delt/arm day for the week to have some extra recovery time.

Diet has been consistent and no caloric changes. I did have homemade fajitas one night, but macros fit within my current diet plan. Will likely have a last sushi meal in a few days prior to prep.
