So last week I was squatting and doing pretty good. 455x2 flew up. However when I went to take 470 everything went crashing forward. This is very frustrating and I am glad this happened. I started The Cube Method as a break from Josh Bryants program which is very tough. Now forgetting that I spent good money for an off-season program with Josh, I decided to commit the sin of changing something that is not broken. Using Josh's method I went from 1223 to 1339 then 12 weeks later 1405 lbs total. So what the hell was I thinking.
Now I am not saying The Cube will not work...just not for me. My body just does not respond to max effort work week after week like others. That and if I get on a program that allows a lot of leeway I tend to get competitive and try to smash pr's every week.
Other changes I am carb backloading. I feel like I want to make a run at 1500 in the 275's which will put me toward the top few in Maryland in that weight class. The SHW division is full of 300+ pounders who have a big advantage over my 280lb bodyweight. So as of now I am fluctuating between 273-276 depending on the day. Its been 2 weeks and I am visibly leaner in my stomach.
