The beginning of Feburary I stumbled upon a hole-in-the-wall type gym that is having a meet in May. It will be my first. I spent the last two weeks bouncing around in my training and planning trying to devise the best strategy that will make me a combo of Arnold and Pudz. Stupid I know.

Some curls to keep my elbows feeling good, the adductor machine to keep me from pulling anything. Otherwise I can't see what else I need to be doing.

Do you find these exercises impede you from peaking on DL? And when you go back to doing them later, are you any weaker?

I know you blew it out a while back, now that it's healthy though why not toss in more single leg work (split squats, lunges, reverse lunges)? IE. Squat, pause squat, light hi rep split squat. I find they have a tendency of bulletproofing groins. Just a thought.Jasonhttp://www.jason-ingham.comnoreply@blogger.com
