Shanker: 7 weeks out

Thanks to back tweaking I have had to reset my initial 4 week, rest, 4 week block approach to preparing for the meet. As of last Saturday we are 7 weeks away, so, with thanks to Danny (as usual) for the advice, the following will be my pre-meet plan.

Week 1
5 sets of 5 for all major lifts.
DL day (done yesterday)
BP day
Squat day

Week 2
4 sets of 4 for all major lifts with a 5% increase over weights hit in week 1.

Week 3
3 sets of 3 for all major lifts with a >5% increase over weights in week 2.

Week 4
Rest/light lifting

Week 5
4 sets of 4 for all major lifts using weights from week 3.

Week 6
3 sets of 3 for all major lifts with a 5% increase over weights in week 5.
This weight, if achieved consistently in each respective workout will serve as my openers at the meet.

Week 7
Rest

This is obviously not ideal, but given the time constraints and desire to err on the side of caution, I think this is the best plan.

  1. Looks solid to me. I see a 500+ pull at the meet. I'm less familiar with your other lifts.
