Rest of the week in training

This week had its ups and downs.

Squats call for 10 sets of 4 with 375
I completed 8 sets before I had to throw in the towel. My last rep on set 8 was like 5 seconds and I just had nothing left. It was just one of those days that the weight felt heavy and the bar moved slow. I looked to my nutrition and found I am way under my protein amount that I should have. So I am boosting it up 100g and also backloading every day with this extreme volume.
zercher squats, ghr, leg curls and clam shells were done.

2 board press I did 2 sets of 6 with 280lbs
db shoulder presses 2x6 with 75lb dumbbells
more shoulder and upper back work

Deadlift day
Deadlift 90 second rest 6 sets of 1 with 495lbs
deficit deads 4 sets of 1 with 405
rows, rows, and more rows


Another change I need to make is to strengthen my abs. I feel this is also a weak point. I am considering starting my meet prep in the 2nd week of August with Josh Bryant. I wish Maryland would put out when the meet was so I could start a true 13 weeks out.
