Nice goal and even better if you're already close. What are we talking for equipment on game day?

Thanks. It's regular raw. So knee sleeves, belt, and wrist wraps.

Good for you. I'm a bit old school and that's the way I went but with knee wraps. To each their own but an inflated bench with a multi-ply never did a thing for me. Will that division allow knee wraps or you just like the sleeves?

I'm pulling for ya! Stay healthy brother!

There are two separate divisions in the federation I usually compete in. There is raw, which is it of a monolift and with knee wraps. Then the is raw elite, where you have to walk out the squat and wear sleeves instead of wraps. I prefer raw elite. Wraps are too much of a pain in the ass for me. I tried them for one meet and liked the extra weight i could lift, but having to wrap my knees got old pretty fast. Ha.

Weight today was 193.2

Workout was,

3x6 squats @ 395
3x3 2-3-1 pause squats @ 315

Pretty quick little workout. Decided to breakup today's workout a bit and come in tomorrow to do the rest. Adductors are starting to get used to switching over to low bar. Low bar feels easier, but not quite as strong as high bar ATM because I think my adductors aren't used to it.

Powerlifter_500 · Nov 11, 2021

Workout was,

3x6 paused bench @ 285
4x8 lat pulldowns
3x10 overhead extensions +1ds
2x10 single hand pushdowns +1ds

Another quick workout. Kind of like these quick workouts. Might turn my 4 day a week program into 6 days and just do a bunch of little workouts. Lol

Inoersonally prefer that method.
Less work but more days.
Sometimes I just feel it and go fucking ham anyways, so its definitly helped lol

Who has the highest Wilks score? Marianna Gasparyan (123 class) holds the record for the highest Wilks score of all time with 720.67 (wraps).

Which is totally insane
Because big Ray William's hasnt cracked a 600 WILKs
ans hes an absolute fucking monstrosity of a human

600 wilks at 400lbs just goes to show how elite he actually is.

It's kind of nice for powerlifting. You kind of want to be fresh for every workout. By not benching after I squat I can definitely notice a little bit of a difference in how well my my sets move.

Weight today was 198.2

Workout was,

X1 deadlift @ 675
3x5 deadlift @ 495
3x4 paused bench @ 305
4x12 facepulls
4x12 reverse fly
5x8 hammer curls
4x8 slow eccentric reverse curl
4x8 tricep pushdown
4x12 overhead extensions +1ds

Guess I haven't lost all my deadlift strength. Back is still in one piece so I'll call today a win

Tied my old pr. Technically my old pr was on a Texas dl bar and this was a rogue power bar. So probably a little harder than last time since there wasn't much bar bend

That’s a damn good pull @198.

Powerlifter_500 · Nov 15, 2021

Weight today was 198.2

Workout was,

X8 bench @ 275
3x8 lateral raise
3x12 chest supported roe
3x12 reverse flies
4x8 tricep pushdowns
3x12 overhead extensions

Had a sharp pain where my chest and shoulder connects. Haven't had that in awhile. Not sure if it's more to do with overshooting some of my recent bench sets and not taking adequate time to recover or just trying to bench too often on a shitty bench that I can't setup very good on. Regardless, the one set I did do was pretty easy and heavier than last week. So I'll try to minimize recovery time so I can keep the bench progress going. Still know I have 4 plates in me some day. Lol

Powerlifter_500 · Nov 22, 2021

Weight today was 194.2

Workout was,

3x5 2-2-1 incline bench @ 225
3x5 2-1-1 snatch grip rdls @ 405
3x8 chest supported rows
3x10 facepulls
3x10 reverse flies
4x8 5 second eccentric reverse curls
3x1 20 second overhand barbell holds

Couldn't bench last week so I just kind of messed around the rest of the week to do what I could, make it fun, and let myself heal. On the bright side my chest is better. I did manage to kink up my upper/mid back doing a 405 front squat though. Lol. It's all better now though. Probably going to do a couple more weeks of BS training while I sort out some personal stuff before I try to push hard again.

By the way, now that I decided to stay single for awhile I bought a Xbox. I remember some people on meso saying they played. If you want, shoot me an add on there. My name is, Brandaddy3060.

Powerlifter_500 · Nov 23, 2021

Weight today was 192.0

Workout was,

3x3 2-2-1-2-1 1 & 1/2 squats @ 315
3x8 landmine press @ 90
3x5 pendlay rows @ 275
5x8 paused lying barbell tricep extension @ 95
4x10 overhead extension +1ds
3x1 15 second barbell hold

Typically 3 plates on squat is nothing. I'll admit those 1 & a 1/2 squats had me a little out of breath at the end of the set. Lol

Took a short break from life. Went and travelled around the country for a couple months doing absolutely nothing at all for no real reason whatsoever. Lol. Had to just take some time to relax after my ex turned my life into a country song. Lol.

ANYWAYS, back at it again. Lost a little strength unfortunately but it's funny because my first day back in the gym after no test for a couple months and I still put up 315x15 on squat and 225x18 on bench. I feel weak, but I guess in comparison to most people I'm still pretty strong. Lol.

Morning weight is at a skeleton-ish 178 ATM. So plenty of room to put some weight on and still make the 181 class. So I'm actually at a great starting point for a good 16 week blast to hopefully hit some lifetime PRs at the lowest weight I've been.

Also stopped smoking weed, so the OG brandaddy is back. Lol. No more being lazy.

As the rock said in his latest song,

It's about drive
It's about power
We stay hungry, we devour
Put in the work
Put in the hours
And take what's ours
