Meet prep for 410 bench and 610 deadlift

[Brandaddy]

I'm back at it again going for the state records at my weight class. I've only been back into strength based training for a few weeks but my strength is coming back pretty fast.Currently I have my training maxes a bit low while I'm getting back into it. In a few weeks I'm going to recalculate them and hope to have predicted maxes of 365 bench, 455 squat, and 565 deadlift.

if it matters, I am natty ATM, that may or may not change depending on my progress in the gym.

I will update with my morning fasted weight and my workouts daily. Currently I'm in a higher rep phase and I'll probably keep it that way for another 6 weeks

Thanks. The bench is a bit of a stretch, but I'm feeling pretty confident about the deadlift. Worst case scenario, I do have some test and drol laying around. if 6 weeks out I don't think I can make it, I could always start popping a-bombs like candy. Ha. Jk

My morning weight is about 190, give or take a pound. Going through a breakup and getting a new girlfriend definitely made it difficult to keep on the weight.

I just went through the same along with starting to get moved and going to school. I maintained my weight, but all my lifts except squat are garbage right now.

Nice, I just got done moving. I've been peeking on your thread every once in a while. I saw you're learning to drive truck, how's that going?

I think a nice little bit of weight was mostly water. I've probably only lost about 5lbs of fat.

SUBBED, nice lifts for natty 198

I made a stupid instant fail mistake yesterday after doing everything perfect on the driving test. I'm going back tomorrow or next week to take it again.

Ouch, that's rough.

Only 2 out of 5 in my class passed the test.
