Mat pulls ( 3 ):
475 x 7
• Belt was way loose, barely felt like it did anything. Makes me a little excited about this. I'll tighten it for next week and aim for 8 again, though I'll be happy pulling 7 off the floor ultimately.
SSB pause squats (deload):
220 x 3 x 5
Not too sure about the merit of heavy pulls mixed with my deload week but I don't want to interrupt the cycle and it doesn't seem to be harming recovery.

Every mat pull cycle is going to have it's rough spot. Mine used to be at the 4 mat height, but changed to the 3 mat height recently. You'll probably discover your own as well. A lost rep at one height doesn't necessarily mean lost reps off the floor thankfully. I've had a few cycles where I actually added reps between my 2 mat and the floor.
ReplyDeleteGood to know. I definitely noticed the biggest change in feel at 4, but I made sure to keep leg drive in mind.
