Oh to be the pudgy kid… I was that guy and in the right light I still am… hahahahaha. All kidding aside BP does a great job of staying on his toes and putting his weight on his opponent.[/quote]
I would hope that after the time hes spent wrestling along with a few camps that he picked up something

I’m still not a big fan of the coaches telling him that he should go out and practice moves on a kid whom obviously doesn’t stand a chance. To me that just comes across as arrogant.

It doesn’t other then making him feel like crap in my opinion. Its one thing to get a quick pin on a kid. Another thing to play cat and mouse.
3/7/12
warm up : pvc rolls
dead lift: 135 x 3 x 5 *
230 x 5
285 x 4
335 x 3
390 x 2
455 x 1…Real easy and real fast, could have repped it no problem
385 x 12 …pant, pant…Reps left in the tank, lungs went out before legs and back
Stiff legs: 335 x 10
Standing band crunches: 5 x 10
- Belt less entire session
- all deads done from dead stop other then stiff legs
Not too bad, considering I’m coming off of my bug. On another note im happy that Ive gotten my head out of my ass and went back pulling in a way that feels more natural to me.
Glad you’re feeling better. That’s a good piece of lifting there.
Good that youre better, don’t rush back in too quickly

Thanks for the compliment, but it wasn’t a session to write home about.

Oh yeah, a very easy 450 DL is just awful.
NCAA d1, 2, 3 are this week and next.
good conduct on bull pup for just goingfor the win and no cat and mouse games
I might add that free style is what you see in the Olympics- and folkstyle is what we practice here in the states thru high college.
I found I did better in Greco- then folkstlyle because my ability to scramble and actually wrestle
was far far less then my ability to use take downs, and throws.
good luck to your son

Oh thanks, I actually had a typo on my log entry…It wasn’t 445 it was 455. My bad.
But still, there’s no reason even with my piss poor body leverage that im not using at least 50-75 lbs more in my actual training. I know I shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth since my Dead lifts are starting to come back from the dead.

I enjoy watching the National championships when the air them on ESPN
-
Yeah,like I said im glad he didnt play with the kid. I just don’t see a reason for it.
-
That’s no lie, I know that the varsity coach doesn’t even teach any freestyle stuff.
-
Ive been told BP could do well in Greco but I don’t actually have a clue since my actual wrestling knowledge is basic at best.
-
Ill pass it on to him, I’m not feeling to upbeat about tomorrow’s multi school tournament. BP has came in second two years in a row. But after last night meet im not to sure. He looked a little sloppy ,which I think is from all the quick wins hes had. I’m afraid its going to come back and bite him in the ass. On the bright spot he will more then have the top spot in his bracket due to his record. Regardless how it goes it will at least get him ready for the state tournament next Sunday.
Well, Bullpup placed second in the multi school Meet. This makes the third time hes done this in the past three years in three different weight classes… Always a brides maid never a bride. Unfortunately in the last match he got injured mid way threw his last match for the championship. He ended up losing on points to a kid he had beaten a few weeks ago. Not sure if he will do the state Meet next week or not now. I will have to see how bad he is actually hurt. At any rate he finished regular season 15-2.

Random Thoughts
This week I’m just going to throughout some random thoughts. II will go more in detail in coming editions.
I don’t think Power lifters worry enough about hypertrophy.
Bodybuilders don’t worry enough about actual strength.
I think board pressing are crap for training raw benching
Steroids, I don’t really care as long as I don’t have to compete with someone that is using.
Westside isn’t the only way to get strong
.
Use of % based training for beginners is not needed and counterproductive.
I really dislike Brooks Kubik
K.I.S.S …Keep It Simple Stupid
Genetics do matter to reach legendary status. But it’s not a excuse for not setting reasonable
goals and not achieving them.
Training Raw and equipped are two different animals.
Drug free guys can’t train like there drug using counterparts.
Unfortunately direct bicep work is necessary for certain individuals.
I can’t relate to the current state of Bodybuilding.
The current state of Power lifting is a cluster fuck
I feel power bodybuilding is a good approach.
The only different between a average Personal Trainer and a coma patient is the personal
trainner can walk and talk
To get a bigger Bench, squat and dead…Bench, Squat and Dead!!
You can’t get ripped and huge at the same time, unless…
I HATE!! Stauart McRoberts.
Raw vs. Gear debate is ignorant as hell.
Can’t we all just get along?
I’ve never seen people act the way they do online, at a Meet.
When in doubt just S.F.W
I’m bored of ATG squat threads.
How you train should not be dictated by a cult mindset.
Eat more to get big
How much body fat is necessary for strength and size gains?
A six pack isnt a true measure of a man or women.
Cross fit is starting to annoy me
When did most male gym members lose their testicles?
Thats it. Ok I didn’t put allot of effort in this weeks edition. Just haven’t had time and just haven’t had the energy to do it.

I’ve enjoyed reading your log. Completely agree with almost everything said above. I’ve been training in the “power bodybuilding” category for about the past ten yearsand I am also a natural lifter. My numbers are very close to yours in most of the upper body movements and not even in your league on most lower body movements.
A very late congratulations on your meet in October-Great numbers. I will be tracking your progress.
Define power bodybuilder and give me a idea of a routine of such a program If you have the time…

Not sure that I can define it but for better part of the past 1 1/2 years I have done the IBB program here on T-Nation which emphasizes bodybuilding through a low rep relatively heavy progressive load scheme. I consider this a power bodybuilding type program.
From the looks of your avatar I’m guessing you have probably done plenty of training that I would consider power bodybuilding even though there may be a better name for it.
Bulldog I spologize for intruding on your thread and realize you may have a different idea of power bodybuilding than mine.
Bummer about the injury. That’s the one thing that you can’t plan or practice for.

Really glad you like reading this log. Ive always finding surprising people would take time to do so.
I appreciate the congratulations regarding the OCT Meet. Hopefully, In the coming weeks and months Ill be raising my dead lifts to a more respectable level.

I’m going to quote Josh Bryant :
In the past, the founding fathers of bodybuilding were required to perform feats of strength in addition to their posing routines. This meant men with great physiques also possessed great strength and power, and those who possessed great strength and power did not look like total “slobs.”
Even if strength is not your primary objective, it is important to realize that your limit strength, or how much force you can exert in one all out effort, is the base of both athletics and physique building. For strength athletes, it is important to include the small exercises that assist in the core lifts. Remember that Branch Warren, Johnnie Jackson, and Ronnie Coleman all started out as powerlifters. That foundation of limit strength set the stage for their superhuman physiques. In this book there are many examples of routines by top powerlifters, and as you can see, they all include exercises that are usually associated with bodybuilders.
Powerbuilding is a hybrid of powerlifting and bodybuilding. Successful powerlifters are part bodybuilder, and successful bodybuilders build their base with powerlifting.
