Thanks, man. I'm about to take the plunge and purchase a membership for USA Powerlifting. They have a meet in May next year that's not too far from where I live. It's making me very hungry for strength and hugeness.
That would be an awesome motivator! Nothing like setting a goal out there and working like nobodys business to achieve it. I'm getting excited for you at just the idea of it. lol!
Strongman is also great for feeding the need of strength and hugeness! Check it out!, its a TON of fun. LOTS of great guys. www.nastrongman.com
Ultra Reps Workout Routine, Week Two, Workout #6 Pretty good workout tonight. Only did a few exercises, was getting dark in the barn and I forgot to bring my lantern out there. Plus, I gotta clean the house. My bff (holy crap, I can't believe I'm using that term, lol) is visiting this weekend from far away (from Florida to the northeast). This house is a frickin' mess!

Just so you guys know, I did finish that Ultra Reps routine. Let's see how I did: High Rep Squats: Week 1 - 15x195, Week 9 - 14x255 Low Rep Squats: Week 4 - 4x350, Week 12 - 4x365 High Rep Bench Press: Week 1 - 15x185, Week 9 - 13x225 Low Rep Bench Press: Week 4 - 5x275, Week 12 - 5x290 High Rep Deadlift: Week 1 - 13x365, Week 9 - 14x380 Low Rep Deadlift: Week 4 - 5x455, Week 12 - 5x485 I think it was a success.
Yes sir! I'm now 10 weeks out from my first powerlifting meet. Things are going well, I'm on track to break my previous PR's, as long as I keep stuffing my face with about 5,000 calories a day and stay injury free. The only thing I'm having a hard time with is deciding on a weight class. I weigh 205 now and I'm pretty much set on competing in the 220 class. BUT, I would probably do better if I cut to 198. It's kind of a mental thing for me, because I've always wanted to get as huge as I can, so the idea of actually cutting weight doesn't agree with my mindset. I think what I'll do is just do the 220 class for my first meet and go from there. Some good lifts recently were: Squat: 7x355 (I hate squats and pretty much suck at 'em, but I'm trying) Bench Press: 8x280 I kinda suck at this, too Deadlift: 10x450
Squats today. I felt weird, kind of nauseated. Also, to make a long story short, I walked 4 miles to my house at 10 this morning. Figures it had to be on squat day. Still had a good workout, just short 'cause I felt kinda sick. I feel better now. Squat: 6x370, 5x370 I may not have gone as low as usual on that first set Close stance squat, bar high on back: 10x255, 10x265 Standing BB Curl: 7x140 Decline Sit-ups: 32xBW
So, the powerlifting meet I was planning on doing on May 19th was cancelled. I'm glad I called the promoter ahead of time. There's one on April 28th about the same distance away. I guess I'm gonna do that one. It cuts my prep time short 3 weeks, but oh well. I'd rather do that than wait until June 30th for another one that's close to me. Some highlights from last week: Flat Bench: 5.5x305 Deadlift: 6x505, 4x515 6x505 Deadlift Video (sorry I'm wearing a Universal shirt)
Less than 3 weeks to until the powerlifting meet I'm doing. Recent lifts include: Squat: 2x415, previous 1RM was 405 Bench Press: 3x330 Deadlift: 2x550, 1x560, previous 1RM was 545 550 for 2 deadlift: 560 for 1 deadlift, afterward talking about having one more deadlift workout before the meet: After the meet, I'll be easing off a bit and I might decide to try and do a little cut. If I do, I think I may use some Stimulant X.
