Nice lifts, we’re about the same total, same age too, just you’re a good squatter and much lighter than me. When’s your next competition?

I might have an unsanctioned meet in feb. with my universities powerlifting team but I wouldn’t cut or peak for it specifically. The next meet that I’m really gonna go all out for is on July 25, 2015
And lol at the good squatter bit, terrible leverages for it but I’m hoping to get it up over 2.5x my comp bw soon (Tomorrow?)

Ah, alright. Sounds like a good idea to have competitions that aren’t completely serious where you can post some conservative numbers and gauge where you are. How do you feel about going up to the 198s and eventually 220s? I myself am thinking of sacrificing my waistline in my junior years, especially if I’m getting in gear. Have you tried gear, single- or multiply?

Yea I plan on competing at 198 as soon as I become a junior. I’m actually about 198 @15-17% right now, with the plan to gain some weight and lean out a bit over summer before going into the meet at about 195. 1600 at 220 is a long term goal for me but I wanna get there in quality weight, competing at under 15%.
I’ve tried single-ply and didn’t like it, just couldn’t get around the idea that it wasn’t me doing the work. I do like knee wraps though, my knees feel like shit if I train without wraps for too long

Ah, alright. I haven’t tried kneewraps or suits, only a slingshot for benching. I’ve gained some weight recently and will compete in the -120 kg category until I (probably) decide to go to +120 kg.
Been a while since you trained, or just lacking logging?

Yea school and family were pretty busy for this past week so this is the first time I’m working out in a while. Being an engineering student does have some drawbacks on my powerlifting lol
How tall are you? Why don’t you try leaning out a bit over time to be in a lower weight class?

No pr’s by any means today but just trying to get in the work I missed earlier in the week. Got new Sabo squat shoes for my birthday.
Guess now is as good a time as any to reflect on where I was last year when I turned 18. I started powerlifting about that time and my numbers were about a 355 squat (depth questionable), 245 tng bench, and a 455 deadlift. Now my pr’s are a 435 squat, 325 bench, and a 500 deadlift. So with one year in the books I’ve raised my total 205 lbs. Hoping this coming year will be even more productive 
I’m 6 feet tall. I tried to do that, actually and lost a good bit of weight. I just had shitty recovery, lacking energy and my strength dropped. I’d rather go (hopefully) 240/180/300 or 529/396/661 in lbs. raw in 120 kg or maybe even 120+ in a few years be fat(ter) than be in 93 kg category and go 180/135/260 or 400/300/550 in 2015. I won’t be powerlifting forever, so I’d like to do anything I can to get my lifts up fast.

Why’s that? Getting your lifts up fast is fine and good but your major strength gains are going to come from the long term. What’s your hurry?
I Think ive just seen a lot of People With the conventional mentality of not gaining Too much weight never really go much beyond 200/150/250 and seen guys in 120+ go 350/240/350. My frame Can Carry the weight so i dont see why i shouldnt gain it and gain strength As fast as possible. You Can always cut, for me its not hard Being lean, so i feel like by maximizing my weight im maximizing the Demand for strength and thus making it as hard for myself as possible. If the goal is 300 kg, why not match everything in order to meet the demand as Quickly as possible? Cutting implies that you’re basically satisfied With your strength. Ive had Too many fast gains While bulking to not do it. 6 feet tall successful powerlifters arent 220, theyre 295+, so why shouldnt i try to emulate the circumstances needed to be “successful”? Just my perspective on it, i definitely understand where you’re coming from. Interesting topic of discussion.

I’ve personally seen a lot more people total 1325 at sub-200 weights than 2075 at any bodyweight
I do think there’s merit to gaining weight to fill out your frame. How do you plan on gaining the weight? When I gain weight I try to keep it to about 10 kg at a time, after I gain the weight I try to maintain weight and lean out. Then once I get down to about 10% I start to gain again. Has worked pretty well so far.

Sorry, I should have phrased myself more clearly, I was using a phone lol. What I wanted to say was that I’ve seen tons of people total 1300-1400 and thereabouts, but the vast majority of guys I’ve seen and know who’ve gone 650-700/480-550/690-780 have been about 280-330 in bodyweight. Even so, if putting 400 lbs. on my total in a few years means gaining a lot of weight and getting fat, so be it. I also think I might as well spend my growing years getting as big and strong as possible. I wish I could get strong as shit while being ripped, I just don’t think it’s in the cards if I don’t want to spend 5 years doing something I can achieve in 2 or without any type of drugs to do it.
I’ve gained about 10 kg just lately and my squat has gone from 140 kg in January to about 190 kg just now. When I started training, I gained weight from 65 kg to 100 kg quite quickly, stayed at 100-105 kg for about a year and now I’m gaining again. Your approach seems to be working well. Where do you see yourself at weight-wise in a few years, do you want to gain a lot or stay within a “reasonable range” like 220 or 242?

I don’t ever see myself getting much over 242 comp weight, and that will probably be a ways down the road with “supplements”. Partly because I plan to continue competing with a 24 hour weigh in, so if I compete at 242 I’ll weigh about 250-260. Also being 5’10", 250 pounds and even relatively lean is pretty huge for me. 1800 at 242 with “artificial assistance” would be a pretty cool achievement for me. But that’s WAY on the back burner lol
I will put on quite a bit of weight in the next few years and plan to be competing at 220 with a small weight cut by the time I’m in open.
Ah like that, I myself don’t plan on jumping on celltech but we’ll see, I’m not against the idea. 250 and relatively lean at 5"11 its pretty jacked, you could move some serious weight like that. When is you’re next comp?
