As promised I begin my log here today. This next part is copy and pasted from my intro earlier.
Early going on mid 30's
5'10"
215ish give or take a little
Best meet lifts at 242
500 squat with wraps
370 bench
600 deadlift (sumo)
Best gym lifts at sub 220
465 squat with wraps, 425 without
365 paused bench
585 deadlift (conventional and sumo)
Been working out consistently in some form almost five years now, training seriously for powerlifting for about two and a half years. I've done two meets and getting ready for my third in September. I originally wanted to go for 1600+ at 242, but decided 1550 at 220 would be better for me for now.
I'll expand upon that. After my meet at the beginning of the year I took a little time to work on my press and did a little hypertrophy work. Then ran the Sheiko four day routine while I cut about twenty pounds. Those gym lifts were from the mock meet at the end of Sheiko, which I believe was seven weeks ago. Been doing a little hypertrophy work since then while still hitting the comp lifts at higher reps and cut a little more weight. Strength is down maybe a little since then. More room to grow into 220 though.
My state records for bench and deadlift in the 220 class are actually surprisingly low for the fed I'll be competing in in September and that's the reason for staying at this weight class.
As I mentioned in my intro I'll be working with POB for my meet prep. Had my first session of his programming earlier and I'll get to that in my next post.
Diet will be zig zag/carb cycling. ~3300 calories on off days and ~4500 on training days. I just started this in the last week and it's been awhile since I've done it, so it'll take some adjusting I'm sure. I'd prefer minimal or no cutting to make weight if possible.
I can't think of anything else at the moment, so if anyone has any questions, comments or concerns feel free to post them up. Thanks for reading.
