Powerlifting Training Log

Been logging for awhile on another site, decided to start a log over here too. I am 33 been training for 5 years. Currently weighing 209 at 5’10’'. I have competed only 3 times with my best meet done in June 2011, where I went 500,365,500 at BW 212 in 2-ply gear.

My training is of the Westside template. I train at home in my basement and travel one day a week for max effort bench with a great group of guys.

As of now I have a bench meet planned for Dec 3rd, my bench is still piss poor, but its a charity meet.

After that I am looking to possibly hit the Gorilla Barbell Squad SPF meet in spring of 2012.

Gonna back log about a months worth here to get this log rolling.
