This was my first Deload Week during the new Renaissance Periodization Hypertrophy program. It was also the first Deload Week that I actually wanted to come. Volume was getting high and I was actually looking forward to a deload. I actually felt that the deload would help me and I didn't get super antsy the first few days.

Daily "Selfie" -
This is one of my Jesup Gym T-shirts I got while I was on my #liftingtour on vacation. Jesup Gym in Jesup, IA only costs $1.00 to enter for the day. I was able to workout here after purchasing some new equipment for Heavy Hammer Gym at the Jesup Gym Equipment store next door. Very friendly staff. Basically a mom and pop store that has been in business for a little over 32 years. I will write more about them later.
Today's Front Squats weren't awful, but I could only do 10 reps with this weight. (thats ok as long as I am in the 6-10 rep range) Block Pulls felt good as well, even though I only got 8 there. I feel like my deadlift setup is finally clicking. Hopefully I can translate this to pulling from the floor in my next strength cycle.
Video Coming Soon!!!
