Log into meet 1 of 2 this year

[theprodgicalson]

I got nothing as far as a witty title goes as usual.
Brief overview in case there are 1-2 new people actually looking at this forum.

Powerlifting for almost 3 years now. Sub par at best. Injured a couple times. Working towards a 1700+ total at 242.

I'm on using the Juggernaut AI program going into this meet. This is my 13th week using it and I loft 5 days a week. Have been doing strictly hypertrophy work in that time. This week starts a new block, it is also a deload week. I at to move from sets of 10's to 8's

Ove also been doing high bar instead of low bar and conventional instead of sumo during this time. Last week had me hitting a top set of 10 at 10RPE on all lifts.
High bar squats
430 X 9 at 10RPE
PAUSED bench
305 X 10 at 9RPE
Conventional deadlift
575 X 10 at 9RPE

Overshot on squats, 8th rep got pitched to far forward and sucked all of my power out of me. Bench and deadlifts I played a touch conservative on considering how squats went. Both squats and deadlift have been feeling great. Bench is good some days others it blows. Also pressing 4 times a week.


I'll post up my lifts next week. Not going to document my deload. Just figured I'd get something started

Way behind on this....
Personal phone and my laptop both took a dump on me, so been hard to log on here. That and life continue to be hectic as all hell. But I wouldn't have it any other way.

Couple good weeks here. Hitting all the numbers I want to week to week. BW is hanging around 246. It's the heaviest I've consistently ever been. Squats and deads are feeling great. Bench has been really hit or miss lately. I'm on my 10RPE week currently, a reload next week, then I'm anticipating the return of sumo and low bar squats. I pulled sumo in warm ups last week, and if I had to rate it percentage wise, i would say it felt 10-15% easier than conventional at the same weight. Excited to see with some time and refinement what I can do. Update this thing later in the week... maybe lol

 

[Masters Power]

40 pulls above 500 in one session is unreal to me. Excellent work. Following.

Are you still in the Midwest or did you make the move you were considering?

 

[ickyrica]

Yo dude, that DL video...

 

[Perrin Aybara]

Yo dude, that DL video...

I was seriously just coming here to say something along those same lines. He's killing it.

 

[Eman]

Yo dude, that DL video...

Fake weights, I heard.

That video makes me want to switch back over to the dark side...

I'm doing really terrible at upkeeping this log. I recently bought a motorcycle, so I've been tinkering with that, riding and the gym pretty much everyday.

@Eman first person to figure it out. Damn you!
I'm heavily contemplating staying with conventional because of how well it's going. I will know after my deadlift day this week what I'm going to do

This was from 2 weeks ago, as some of you saw the deadlift video. Last week was a deload week, don't really care to list it. Sorry guys. It's basically 70-75% of whatever my top sets were in week 4.

Started the strength BLOCK this week. And of course woke up with a head cold to start the week. Will report back on Sunday when I'm done with this week. Back to low bar and sumo deads for me

 

[Perrin Aybara]

No pressure, but I'm living vicariously through you and your log now while I come back from this hamstring injury.

 

[theprodgicalson]

Yeah what happened? I feel like I remember reading it one night at work?

It was almost two months ago I decided to try zercher squats and I guess went down funny on ac rep with 315lbs. Felt pain and a popping sensation behind my knee. Took 2-3 weeks off and then went fairly light on squats and block pulls one week and they felt fine. So that Saturday I was doing 5x5 deadlift with just 495lbs. Felt like an empty bar and on the second rep of the fourth set felt pain and a pop almost like rubber bands breaking up the back of my knee and leg. Major limp even walking around for a few days. That was four weeks ago Saturday and I put absolutely no weight on it during that time. Did some bodyweight stuff and stretching last week and just one and two plates stuff so far this week.

I'm taking it really slow this time. A couple more weeks of no more than 225lbs or 315lbs at most on lower body. Also running those mauve tops for the last month or so, definitely seeing some body composition improvements and hopefully healing faster, too.
