Nope, I do absolutely zero cardio when prepping.Do you usually do that much cardio before a meet? I am just thinking your glycogen stores are going to get wiped out being in a calorie deficit with that much cardio for you to have much in the gym.
Yeah and I was thinking slow roll this year and overshoot the 198 to 180. Then spend beginning of new year building back up to 198. Not sure its best or right plan, just the plan I cane up withOkay, that makes more sense. There are couple trains of thought when it comes to cutting for powerlifting. You can either get there really quickly to give you more time to stable out and train at that weight or you can slow roll it and try and hit your mark closer to the competition. Both have their pro and con.
I will do some crazy stuff with bands sometimes. I look at it like, this is either going to be awesome or it is going to f**king wreck me.Thanks, I use bands or chains but typically bands for speed and chains for overload even though its pretty much the same thing just different weight and rep scheme
I started using bands in my dumbbell presses in the same fashion as bench and incline press. It can get kind of scary when my spotter (wife or son) transfers 120 lbs band from a peg to a 60 lbs dumbbell at the bottom of a military press before the second side is set. The band is probably only 30-45 lbs of tension at the bottom, but for 5-10 seconds you have 90-105 lbs on one side and only 60 lbs on the other side. If your core is not strong it will pull you over for sure.Haha, take a picture of one of your crazier set ups, would love to see it
