    New to powerlifting, point-five-oh

    So I posted on here a while back now, asking for advice on getting in to powerlifting, and the general advice I got was lift big, eat big. So I started lifting as heavy as I could and it turns out I got that wrong too. My other struggle was getting food in, jus haven't got a frigging clue about...

    Journey to heavy-ass lifts!

    So it's all a bit mate but I'll update anyways, I started a new job this Monday and get even less time to get any sort of food in, but on top of that there's a hell of a ton of walking, atleast 3 mile a day. Friday I skipped leg day cos i was really run down so had an early night. Monday was...

    Journey to heavy-ass lifts!

    Pull day I knew today was going to take it out on me so I loaded up on them so often recommended carbs that everyone is on about lol but even then it felt a bit heavy, pushed through it though. Deadlift 60kgs - 2 x 5 100kgs x 5 162.5- 3 x 5 Rows 80kgs - 2 x 5 60kgs x 8 Curls 10kgs - 3 x...

    Journey to heavy-ass lifts!

    I've done a bit of research, talking to others and a lot of thinking. I really want to give power building a go, NOT because I want to be that "ripped guy that can kinda lift heavy" but because I genuinely wish to compete in both sports! I'm not as naive to honestly believe that I can be BB...

    Thanks man, usually on pull days I hang from the bar in between sets anyways, helps me feel like Im taking the strain off my back and legs. That's pretty much what I've doing right now, but playing about with grips, exercises, reps and sets. Just to find what works out for me. Thanks for...

    Journey to heavy-ass lifts!

    Push day! First time I've benched in a couple of weeks also the first time I've pressed in a while too. Had to drop the weight here and there was jus to heavy for me. Guess I let my ego plan my weights and not my brain, lesson learnt! So here it is... Bench Bar x 30-40 60kgs x 5 90kgs x 5...

    Journey to heavy-ass lifts!

    So after some research and some asking around, changed a few things up. On my push day instead of flyes, I'm doing paused benching, with a little less weight for five sets of ten. On my pull day I'm doing snatch grip Deadlifts for three sets of ten And then on leg day instead of leg...

    Okay well personally I think all my lifts suck! But specifically - squatting, it's neither high bar nor low bar, somewhere in the middle, every lift feels like it's heavy as **** unless deloading. Dead lifting, same weight problem as squat, not matter how much I warm up, what ever I'm lifting...

    Thanks man! I guess that will help me iron out my form and get as damn near perfect as I can.

    New to powerlifting

    Thanks guys will add them to my next workouts. I do have another question though, on my push days should I do bench, but with a little lighter weight, wider grip and pause at the bottom? I was going to ask the same about squatting on leg day and on back day do snatch grip Deadlifts? Wasn't...

    Journey to heavy-ass lifts!

    So leg day! Food in take wasn't that great today. Well it jus want as I planed it. But got on with it anyways. Squat 5x3 - 140kgs Felt really weak doing these, but then the only over time I've got to 140kgs I've kept the reps really low. And not really gone past 3-5, so to do 3x5 just felt a...

    New to powerlifting

    I was under the illusion that power building was someone who trained strength and also aesthetics to look good? I do wish to compete in the future when I believe I'm ready for it. I run 5/3/1 for the whole of 2013, and started sheiko at the beginning of this year but the volume jus seemed way to...
