carusom1 Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 (edited) This will be a deload week. Been hitting it pretty good for about 8 weeks now. I've never purposely done a deload but I hope it will pay off here. 021108 Clean Pulls: 5x3x185 Mostly technique work here. Made some progress and got some things worked out.

Chris Mathison Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 (edited) It will pay off. Agreed. 8 weeks is a pretty strong run. A deload will do a mind job on you.. stick it out and keep your calories up for the week and when you get back into full swing you will feel very very good.. Good luck and try to enjoy the week off.

Matt Brouse Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Mike has never really deloaded ever. He feels better after 12 1/2 hours of thinking about deloading and so he hits a max log with bands and chains and midgets punching him. What a D Bag. Strong, however...nice axle work my man.
