Thread: Offseason prep for 2002...

Offseason prep for 2002...
Just curious as to what everyone is paying special attention to during the offseason in order to be better for next year. I myself am working extra hard on mid-back thickness and side deltoid width.
I am killing myself on partial deadlifts, bent rows and t-bar rows for back. I'm up to 275-285 for 6 good reps in the bent row and 545 in the partial deads.
For delts I am doing alot of variations of the side lateral...utilizing cables,dumbell at many angles, lateral machines, and a couple of different presses tweaked to hit the medials harder.
So far its working.Can't wait to show it to the judges.
Whats up with you guys?

Just looking to get as strong as possible. Gonna start to put weight on to aid in that quest.
Gopro- how far off the ground are the plates on those rack pulls? Is that for reps?Best Meet Lifts(Raw):

Picking up more than I did last week.
Improving conditioning with high rep squats and running.
Dieting down to under 200, so I can get into the 198's.Squats work better than supplements.
"You know, if I thought like that, I'd never put more than one plate on the bar for anything, I'd never use bands or chains, I'd never squat to parallel or below, and I'd never let out the slightest grunt when I lift. At some point in your lifting career (assuming you're planning on getting reasonably strong and big), you're going to have to accept that most people think you are some kind of freak." -Sensei

"Test all things; hold fast what is good.": 1 Thessalonians 5:21
"I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do--this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God--through Jesus Christ our Lord!"

Chest. If I can bring up my chest, I'll be happy. Right now, it's too weak (size-wise; it's strong as hell) compared to the rest of my physique. I have crap chest genetics; my father in his prime (he used to be a weighted dips fanatic) had a very small chest. I'm working it gradually with this heavier routine; it's already much fuller than a few months ago. We'll see.
