April showers bring May power...lifting meets

Forgot to post Tuesday's workout, so today is a two-fer. I started tapering for the meet this week. It's earlier than I usually start (3 weeks out), but I'm experimenting. I'm still going to max singles on the big lifts, but the accessory stuff is tapering off this week. next week I'll taper off the big lifts.
