The Road to Perth Cup 2017: New Template

I HAVE continued with the deficit deadlift program I began about a month ago, and have added some new press routines. From the start of August I intend to cease overhead pressing through the week, so as to better focus my energy on bench, and keep the overhead work for weekends. I still hope to be repping 120 kilos in about 6 weeks... so we'll see how that goes. It will be a significant new level of strength for me if achieved.

Fortnightly squatting is still working for me, but I'll need to transition over to the straight bar pretty soon. I'm hoping the tendon will take this, as it has taken everything else I've dished out over the past few months.

And the last two to three weeks before the Perth Cup will be a testing period for my max deadlift. I want to complete the deficits as written, and then work up to a +300 pull before resting for the comp.

Looking forward to getting back on the platform.
