» Moving from a unequipped cycle to a equipped (single ply) cycle (Go to post) | 28-11-2013 @ 18:53 | ||
Hi, I would like to try over the coming months to break in my squat suit and maybe give an equipped competition a go some point next year as a change from my unequipped competitions. I was looking for tips/advice on how the training should change in terms of protocols/reps/sets/exercises. Is it a complete switch or is it pretty much the same with different goals? Also, how would people recommended I start to break my squat suit in? Ive heard so many different ways I have info overload! I would assume I shouldnt be worrying about depth until the material gives? Cheers for any help! | |||

I am currently in the middle of a comp cycle as I thought I was comepting on the 8th December but that fell through. However, I had already started with the heavy comp weights so I decided to continue. So here we go from yesterdays session: 13/11/13 Squats (Explosive/Technique) - Warm up - 5 x 20kg, 3 x 40kg, 2 x 60kg, 80kg Working Sets - 12 x 2 reps x 102.5kg (60% 1RM). Comments - I was pausing the reps for the first 3 sets but this seemeed to be pulling my right glute/hamstring. I stopped doing this and jsut going for speed and this alleviated the problem.

The single performed for the last set was compelted due to my spotter grabbing the bar slightly early. Accessory Work DB Floor Press - 20kg x 22 reps, 18 reps Superset Chest supported rows/Rear Delt Flyes - 4 x 12 x 40kg/10kg Power Shrugs - 8 x 80kg, 100kg, 110kg, 120kg Zottmann Curls - 4 x 10 x 10kg Incline Crunches - 4 x 12 x 10kg Main Lifts Volume - 4285kg Accessory Lifts Volume - 7060kg Total Volume - 11345kg 14/11/13 Fitness (Aerobic specific) (a) 5 minute warm up (b) 25 minutes fartlek training (c) Stretching/mobility routine |
