3rd Place in the T2 100kg category. My longest tenured client Lukas had himself a day going 8/9 and podiuming at nationals. Squats showed up really well, after a lackluster w4 the block prior to nationals we paced very safely and went 3/3 and smoked our 3rd to secure a 7.5kg MPR. Squat programming has been very vanilla for Lukas, we've been able to consistently progress our squat so we've stuck with a paused squat secondary and pushed our leg extensions a lot. For bench we went 3/3 walking away with a 5kg MPR. After a weird 330 miss one week out we were able to trust the taper and hit all 3 benches. Pushing our secondary day more along with weighted dips seemed to do the trick. Then for deadlifts we went ⅔ and ended up 2.5kg below our MPR. We had the strength for a PR but had an unfortunate grip slip on our 3rd, moving forward we’ll have to establish our position off the floor better.
