CJ Gotcher Log- "What is Best in Life"
Currently training for my first power-lifting meet: RPS "Havoc for the Holidays" Meet on December 13th, in the 181# weight class. On a modified 5-3-1 program for the 5th month (modified because the Press isn't a competition lift and my squat was lagging dramatically behind my DL- still is, but not nearly as bad).
5'5"/27/175#
One month ago, while on deployment, we had a 4-lift contest (BP, SQ, DL, PR). 1RMs were:
BS: 345#
BP: 255#
DL: 445#
PR: 195#
Short term goals are: Meet total of 1105# (365#, 465#, 275#) at 181# in the Raw Classic or Raw w/o Knee Wraps Division.
Long terms goals are: Raw-elite Total in the 181# weight class (1396#) by April 2019.

Warmup with band pullaparts, pushups, pullups, and 5X5X45# BP.
BP: 3@65, 95, 115, 135, 155, 185, 205, 215; 4@230#
Press (Starting from Clean) @135#: 12, 11, 9, 8
Weighted Dips: 2X10@40#
Weighted Pullups: 20X5@35# in between pressing sets
Poor focus throughout the workout and watch schedule required I call it early. RR for Bench Press. Cue to keep the elbows forward at the start of the Press really helped in keeping the bar close, reducing the drop in reps from set to set from previous days.
