Training for a raw meet

[Deleted]

Hello: My name is Michael Pelosi, and I recently competed in the NERB w/ a total of 1655, 18 years old, 330lbs. I plan on doing another raw meet in either Orlando or sometime in December, but I'd like to be able to do both. I figure I would start a training log on here.

No rest after the NERB/right back to work.

Deadlift/Goodmorning Day:

Cambered Bar GM's w/deadlift stance: Worked up to 405x5 for 2 sets.

Green Band Pull Throughs: 2x8

Decline Sit ups: 3x6 w/ 25lb plate.


Next week, I will up the intensity. Regardless, my training cycle will end in time for Orlando if I can make the trip out their.

Solid numbers at NERB Mike. Looks like you train WSBB style. I do as well. Where will you be travelling from for the Orlando meet?

If I go, I will be coming their from Boston. Looks like a great time.

Hey, Mike. Let me just say again what an honor I think it is to be able to lift in the same fed with guys like yourself, Nick Minneti, Beau Moore, well the list is growing every day.

I'm looking forward to Orlando more and more.

God Bless.

Okay, well I have made the decesion to take the rest of the week off. Apparently, the NERB beat me up a little more then I thought. Physically and mentally I think I am able to train, but just to let my body heal up I will take this weekend off and come in 100 percent on Monday.
