Jeremy's Training Log
I started training with Powerlifting in mind in July 2010. I bought all of Rips books and ran starting strength for 14 weeks I believe.

A quick glance at the last page shows I was bench pressing 255x5 and deadlifting 350x5.
I've competed 4 times since February of 2012. I compete raw. My first meet was squat 500 bench 335 and deadlift 515 for a total of 1350.
My best lifts in a meet are

Bench Press 350
Deadlift 555
Best Total 1455 - - www.youtube.com/watch?v=CL3qxQzXNis
I'm looking to make a few changes to my training. My schedule was just turned upside down and I won't be able to train with the group I was training with anymore. I was reading through my copy of Practical Programming and found some inspiration in the Advanced chapter and I'm thinking of doing something like the following (straight from the book) -
Week 1 5x5 @ 70%
Week 2 5x5 @ 80%
Week 3 4x5 @ 75%
Week 4 5x5 @ 85%
Week 5 5x3 @ 80%
Week 6 5x3 @ 90%
Week 7 4x3 @ 85%
Week 8 5x3 @ 95%
Week 9 4x3 @ 90%
Week 10 5x1 @ 100%
Week 11 4x1 @ 85%
Week 12 4x1 @ 80%
I still have to decide what to do about my next meet so a 12 week cycle may not fit. I was planning to do a meet Feb 1st, but with my schedule change and everything, I've been thinking I can take this opportunity to drop 50 pounds and then compete again. I weigh about 320. Too fat for my frame. I think I'd be a better powerlifter at 275. Anyway, my wife and I are taking a little vacation (first time we've been away together without our kids since our honeymoon) next week. So, whatever new cycle I start will be the week after that. But, I'll train at least one or two days next week (not flying out till Thu).
I've been keeping a log here or the last 2-3 years-

Ok, I'll be back Monday. I feel like this whole post is jumbled and random. Hopefully, it all makes sense.

So, my daughter gave me a the bug that's going around. Not the flu, but the 24 hour thing. I was sick this morning, and by noon, I had to leave work early... By 4:00, I was so sick I almost cried (dead serious). I just woke up after a nap and feel back to damn near normal. I just hope this isn't one of those intermissions where it comes back.
Next week back to training. I was going to train today and Thursday, but I already explained how that worked out. So, I guess this will be a deload week. I haven't done that in over 14 weeks, so it's much needed.

After having almost 2 weeks off with vacation and having the flu, I didn't want to jump into that advanced program. I think I'll run 531 for a little while to catch up.
This week I just eased back into lifting bc I felt weak and crappy after that stomach bug. Light and easy. Next week I'll start a training cycle-

I just fixed my video. I had accidentally set it to private.
