Hey George, your log caught my eye because I have a son named George. Bummer about all the injuries over the last year or so...here's to health and staying injury free! I will be following
Hello everyone. I'm new to this board and hope to meet some new friends and fellow lifters on here. I'm a competitive powerlifter, I compete in the 242's/220's(whichever I decide at a certain moment lol).
My best lifts are
geared
625 SQ
450 BP
500 DL
raw
415 SQ
315 BP
475 DL
My lifts are down right now. I suffered some injuries. I tore my left glute about a year and a half ago, arthritis or tendonitis(or something) in my left hip, pulled my neck/trap muscles pretty bad on my left side, and and got a new job over the summer and wasn't very consistant with my training. All my injuries are pretty much 100% right now, except for my hips(but they are a lot better).
I hadn't competed in almost 2 years. But I plan on competing at the SPF South Carolina meet on April 19th and looking to hit a PR total in the 220lbs weight class.
This is what my training week looks like
Mon- Bench
Tue- Squats
Wed- Auxiliary
Thu- Declines(close-grip)
Fri- Deadlifts
Sat- Auxiliary
