Coach’s Notes
This is what we’ve been building toward for the past 8 weeks.
First, make sure to get a proper warm-up in. (Here are some sample warm-up ideas if you need one.)
Next, take your time. No need to rush through the sets building up to the PR attempt. We’ve only got one thing on the schedule today.
Third, make sure you have a proper safety set-up. Spotter. Spotter arms set-up on the racks. Everyone will be different based on their level of experience and individual set-up, but make sure you have a plan if you fail a rep.
Fourth, be smart. If you’re just not feeling it tomorrow, don’t force something that isn’t there. Work up to a heavy single that you can hit safely with proper form and call it a day.
Finally, good luck! If you do hit a PR, I’d love to hear about it! Send me an email or tag me on social!
