I've been waiting until I feel 100% because the 2004 Mr. Olympia wanted a video record of OCS to help them prepare to host a major OCS competition at their event. I wanted to give them the best for posterity.
I intended to just wait 5 minutes in between events, confident from my display (albeit with set/rest periods) of performing the two events in IMS volume my previous session. So I performed my Mills nailing 10 rep-points over my target for a total of 110 (110R/110L). I waited 5 minutes and went gung-ho for my Swipes... and was ready for failure at 20. I stopped, waiting another 10 minutes and tried again - resulting in 1 set of 35. A little miffed, I waited the full 45 minutes and went again...
Hitting home 98 Swipes in 9 minutes - going to failure on 98 - hitting the ground stopping the time. ARGH! :evil: Two measly rep-points under International Master of Sport!
1 set of 110/110 Mills with the 25lbs Clubbell in 9 minutes 35 seconds
5 minute rest
1 set of 20 Swipes with a 25lbs Clubbell
10 minute rest
1 set of 35 Swipes with a 25lbs Clubbell
45 Minute Rest
1 set of 98 Swipes with a 25lbs Clubbell pair in 9 minutes
OCS total rep-points: 208
Had I been patient and waited the full 60 minutes... had I not been arrogant to believe I could handle IMS with no break... I could have nailed the extra 2 Swipe reps for sure. Damn ego.
At least I have it on film. But it's time to set my PHASE III OCS Prep (http://www.circularstrengthmag.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=894) to bed. I'm going to be taking the next two weeks off to do primarily Body-Flow and Russian Martial Arts for a few various groups. See you in January for PHASE IV of PHASE IV. The countdown official begins after the New Year!
I look forward to reading your competitive results and look forward to shaking hands and tilting suds with each OCS athlete in February!
Note to self: It's been fun learning how to type with my elbows, but wait a day before posting after near-IMS OCS volume with 25lbs Clubbells.
