Cube Week 2 - Camp pendleton

On to the 2nd week of CUBE and i some how seemed to have fucked up the rotation for Bench and Deadlift. I don't know how this happened but i did week 3 for Bench and Dead so that means week 3 will have to be what I was programmed for week 2. Not a big problem at all and easily fixed...
Week 2 went by pretty fast and the weights are still relatively easy as i continue to tweak my technique.

Cube Week 1 - Camp pendleton

Welp, with 10 weeks to go for my next meet I had to restart my training program. Still running Cube Method to set me up and have me peaking for the meet - Camp Pendleton Open. As of now I am unsure if i want to drop down to 165 or stay as a 181'er so for now i will just clean up my diet and see where it takes me. The main goal is to be at my strongest come meet day and hit some big number; ideally i would love to have a 1450 total which is very much achievable so long as i stick to the plan.

From here on out I will be updating this blog once a week and putting together all of the weeks training in one post.
