Thanks brother! It was mine too, I was extatic when I found out that I had qualified. You have a log on here Go Away? I'd like to keep up with yours.

Week 2 Day 3
Skaats: 15x2 @RPE6
Stayed with 335 for all my sets, I've had this nagging glute/hip injury that I've been dealing with for quite a while now and its slowly getting better but today my IT band was hurting pretty bad which made this weight feel really heavy. I would of liked to have gone heavier but I figured it'd be best to stay at this weight. I have plenty of time to lift heavy later on in the program and when I start my actual Peaking program for RUM. I also worked on staying more upright in my squat, I noticed that I have a bit of a goodmorning squat (I squat high bar, so thats not good), so I really focused on staying really tight throughout the entire movement of every set. Also worked in some low bar for my last few sets and they felt really good, and although I know there is a little bit of a forward lean when doing low bar I was able to keep my back tight with very minimal forward lean. I think Im going to work on my low bar squat a little more and see how it goes.
Box Deadlift aka Koklyaev deadlifts: 5x5 @RPE9
Did all 5 sets with 315, my back was pretty done after those squats, focusing on not leaning forward on my squats really fatigued my lower back so I had to stay light on these.
Paused Squats w/light band: 3x7 @RPE8
At this point I was exhausted, so did all my sets with 185 with the green bands. The sets felt pretty good and my form stayed pretty tight even though I was tired.
I really feel like this program has been pushing me hard, and even though its only an offseason program I'm continuing to train as if my meet was next month. I'm really looking forward to starting the peak and really building off of this off season. Thanks @POB and SAD

You know how it works bro, the ebb and flow of routines, sleep, test, stress, food, etc. You're going to have those days and you're exactly right, you HAVE to crush those days because that's what the greats do. Everybody here can smash a hard workout when the weights feel light and the motivation is high, but only the greats apply that same effort to the bad days, the in between days, week after week, month after month, year after year. Keep doing what you're doing. Keep motivating me.
