John Petrizzo's Training Log
Hi Everyone,
I have been reading this forum for some time and have finally decided to start my own training log.
I am 28 years old, 6 feet tall, and right now am weighing about 215lbs. I competed in my first meet this past March. It was an APF meet and I competed raw in the 220lb class. I did the meet on pretty short notice and was able to Squat 435, Bench 285, and Deadlift 500 for a total of 1220. I am planning on doing a RPS meet on November 11 and hope to exceed all of those numbers by a good margin.
Currently I am running a pretty straightforward Texas Method template. I am coming off of a recovery week and started back with some moderate weights. Here is yesterdays workout:
Mon 8/20
Squat 5x5 with 335
The first three sets were easy, the last two were a grind. Need to take more rest in between.
Press 5x5 with 162.5
Felt solid
Deadlift 400x5
Easy
Also, I am very excited to be attending the SS seminar in Brooklyn next month and I look forward to meeting anyone who may be attending.
Wanted to update my first page to include the competitions I have done since starting this log:
