Chasing Curls and Gainzzz
While competing at the SS meet this Sunday, the topic of training logs/following strangers on the internet came up and this seems like a good place to keep a neater log. The last meet was the third one I've done, and I plan on doing the next SS meet plus an RPS powerlifting meet in July, so this seems like a good section for it (even though I probably won't come close to winning.)
4/24/16
BW: 207.2
Squat: 330, 340xF, 345
Press: 150, 157.5, 165xF
Deadlift: 500, 535, 560
I had a little more on squats despite being pretty worried going in and getting reds on my second attempt. 345 was a 15lbs meet PR and 10lbs overall PR, plus mysteriously lacked my usual flaws. Pressing attempts were pretty close to my limit, but I got into my knees a little on 165 and my feet came up because the bar was a little behind so it was two red lights. So a 7.5lbs meet PR and unofficially pressing 165 was nice. Deadlifts had more too; 560 was the easiest max I've done after pulling a 485 triple and nothing heavier than 530 pre-meet. 570 would've been a good choice to match my trainee's deadlift at the meet. Total was 1062.5 and wilks was 301.something which is +57.5 and +10 respectively. Could be better in 6 months, so hopefully I can add that much for the next meet in 12 weeks.
4/25/16
Bench Press- 205lbs 3x3
Curls for the Girls (barbell): 90lbs x10, 9, 10
Back wasn't sore at all from the meet and gets sore a few hour after benching. Feeling strangely fresh after the meet but still going to ease back into things to avoid getting stuck.
