Precontest prep -9 weeks out

August 20, 2009 by Ryan Irwin 

This weekend is the Iowa State Fair bench press/deadlift competition. I am cutting down to the 148 lb class so got to drop some water weight for that. Hoping to double my bodyweight in the bench press and deadlift over 500lb pounds.  The training this week has been modified, but still making progress to the ultimate goal of being stage ready in 9 weeks.

For those interested in attending, the meet will be at the Budweiser, ABC5 stage which is SW of the Varied Industries building on Saturday. Lifting starts at 9:30 and it should run most of the day.

This week I added in a fat loss agent to my supplement stack which was Bio Heat, which is a great all around thermogenic. I’m starting off at a minimal dose, which is 1 cap 2 times per day. I will continue to work that up as things draw closer.

In the meantime, next week I’ll update on my next mini-goal which is the Richard Dellaca Pump & Run which is on September 5th. Bench press your bodyweight as many times as possible then run a 5k, my kind of race!
