Nice work. How far out are you from the meet?
First week of Nov. So approx. 9 weeks.
Crap - I need to sign up. Almost forgot.
Edit:
wrong log.
Double edit:
That’s not too far off. Better get signed up.
if i took a pic with my shirt off after yard work you would only see the sweat glistening off my fur. it must be nice to be furless. the added bonus is as i get older i’m getting a thicker coat.
what meet are you doing?? how many have you done in the past??

Who says there’s anything wrong with fur?

i keep seeing these ads that say “say no to fur”. i’m waiting for someone to throw a pint of red paint on my back one day.
You can always get waxed like Steve Carell in the 40-Year-Old Virgin. But why? Aren’t men supposed to be furry?

Week 4:
5x70%
5x75%
5x80% (no rep out)
Reset maxes and repeat.
I have a feeling you are not only going to realize your strength gains at the meet, but also surprise yourself.

That looks interesting.
I think as long as I don’t rep out in week 1 and 2 I might have enough gas for week 3.
Food for thought.[/quote]
I like the extra singles you are getting in now. I suppose the idea is to keep making small changes until you arrive at the “ideal.”
Have you thought about openers and 2nd lifts yet? I like the way DCA planned his last meet. It was very disciplined. You still have a lot of time, but I like to think about stiff like that.
I have some time to work it out and I’ve already written down some goals.
In general.
1st Lift - Whatever I’m comfortable repping for 3 with good form. Not going to blow the opener.
2nd Lift - About 5 to 10lbs under my best gym lift.
3rd. Lift - Somewhere around my calculated 1RM. Higher/lower if I’m feeling good/bad that day.

Damn first week of November. I will prolly be gone by then, I would have come down to watch and snicker; I mean cheer, yes thats it, cheer. Maybe even a word or two of encouragement.
Helluva speed bench OP. Youre gonna nail the meet if you keep going the way you are headed.
UN - Would be great to have you there to slap me around before the lifts.
JW - Thanks for checking in. Not too concerned about bench, but still working on getting those numbers up.
Deload
Went in wanting to squat and deadlift with some ass-cessories.
I’ve decided to stop doing static stretching and work on dynamic stretching.
Squats:
Bar x 10 - Going for depth - lowered a bench down to 10" (measured with tape) and box squated. Set the safety pins at that level (8th hole) as a reference. Clicked the safety bar on each rep.
95 x 10
135 x 10
165 x 10
185 x 10 Dropped the safety bars to 7th hole. Hit about every 3rd rep.
225 x 10
Calf Work
some x some for some
Good Mornings:
Bar x 5 - Set the safety bars a lot lower than normal as the reference. Trying to get as much hamstring pull as I can without bending the knees too much. I slightly arch the back, push my butt back and put nearly all weight on my heels at the bottom and coming up. My toes lift completely up and balance on the heels.
95 x 10
135 x 10
135 x 10 Lower back howling.
Ab Raises
some x some for some
My lower back, glutes and hams are shaky and wimpering.
I’m very concerned that my squat is going to get USAPL red lighted at my current depth, so today I wanted to get a good stretch and start working lower. I probably butt winked a few, but my lower back is telling me I’m doing something right. Its really straining and pulling to keep flat as I go lower.
Noticed it felt better and I go lower by forcing the knees out and getting the upper body a little more angled downward (pushing the butt back).
Got to keep doing this as a habit.

Can you video and watch? Or better yet post? This will answer your question.

Yeah - I’ll work on the video thing. Its a good idea I’m just a little behind with the latest camera gear. I start working out with the University PL team next week. They are USAPL affiliated so I’m hoping to get some good training in.
Pretty good you getting to work out with the university powerlifting team. I think you’ll find your numbers are higher than you think when you start lifting in an atmosphere like that. Great for feedback, too. Remember, you’re representing all us old farts.
war old farts
some solid speed work and good box work as well.
