6 Week Peaking Start - Squats and RT

August 13, 2012
Noonish

Well today kicks off my 6 week peaking cycle that Phil laid out for me so I'm pretty stoked. I'm also going to do a 6 week peaking cycle for Laine Snooks Rolling Thunder program so today I found my max and I won't work around there again until I test again.

I also did a couple of things that put a little smile on my face; repped 405 by 3 on the squat (I think if I had a gun to my head maybe I could've gotten 5) and did all of my singles with 405 as paused squats. I'm not sure if it's what Phil had intended but I did them as they felt good and now I can say that, yep, I can do them. My bottom strength is definitely coming up.
