Wanna Be Powerlifter

Last training; Done. time to deload, 2 easy trainings, with minimal load. Still some good weight though, so thats gonna be fun,

Squat: 1x1 225kg, 1x1 220kg, 1x1 210kg
Moved very good all, 225kg moved at about as easy as idd want it too, with as high as my fatigued is right now. Session was supposed to be different, but you make adjustments when needed.

Bench: 3x1 122,5kg
Good, no real fuss.

Deadlift 3x1 220kg
Nice.

ALRIGHT HERE IT IS, MEET DAY.

Woke up weighing 83.5kg, i compete in the 83 so i was a little worried, but since it was a 2 hour drive i didnt think to much off it. Fast forward to weighin: 83.45kg. LOL

So on to the crosstrainer i go, 35 minutes, second weighin COMPLETELY NAKED. 83.02kg…

Second time crosstrainer, 10 minutes, third weighin, NAKED 2,0 82,90kg. Fucking made.

At this point i had dropped my planned openers by 5kg, except bench.

SQUAT
Squat: Warmups where moving ok, not heavy not great. Just normal

1st attempt: 215kg
2nd attempt: 225kg
3rd attempt: 235kg x

So, squats went ok. Third i missed, got to sticking point, and couldnt grind it out due to lack of energy probably due to the cardio… So moved on with 225kg.

BENCH
Bench moved ok. bench in the warmup room was slippery as all fuck, but that cant ruin the fun.

1st attempt: 120kg
2nd attempt: 125kg
3rd attempt 132.5kg x

second moved easy as all hell, so jumped a little bit more then planned to compensate for the missed 3rd on squat. I got it easy off my chest, moved to the sticking point and head judge yelled “rack it” right away, not letting me grind it out AT all, little pissed about that. More then one person said it was a BS call, and he shouldnt have done that, looking at the footage i see some downward movement so i guess its on me.

Deadlift:

1st attempt: 215kg
2nd attempt: 227.5kg
3rd attempt: 235kg x (but with a twist)

So deadlifting, my least favourite part. First two attempts moved like i would want them too, So we opted to go for 235 which should logically have been there i got called for thighriding/hitching, 2 to 1. I personally disagree on the call, as did once again multiple people watching from home/ in the audience… But gotta live with the choices the judges make.

Finall wording: Not a good performance, due to my own lack of self discipline i fucked it up. Had the potential/strength to total 600+, but due to me being lazy with diet/food i screwed it up. 7.5kg meet pr, but im not to happy with it. Also took home the gold medall… So missing all my 3rds, with a fucked up start i still won. Lol.

Goals for the next meet: Make 600 unquestionable. Have my BW at better point PRE MEET, So i dont have to do this stupid water cut/cardio thing EVER again.

BACK TO WORK. Will post video’s SOON.

All lessons for the next one i suppose

Weightlifting try outs

Clean en jerked 80kg’s, and cleaned 85kg. Missed the jerk portion.
Focussed allot on technique, however its big different from powerlifting technique or deadlift for that mather.

Snatched 64kg, Missed 70kg. I think i got the strength to do 70kg, but its technique/mental aspect.

When im no longer a junior im gonna give this weightlifting thing a serious shot.

intro week

Highbar squats 3x7 175kg (beltess)
Felt heavy, form wise felt hard… Will be better next week.

Benchpress 3x7 95kg
Felt ok. Firs time benching since comp, so is to be expected.

Seal rows 3x10 50kg ← Gonna try and up this weight each week, Slowly but steadily. This was easy as hell so good starting point imo.
Weighted pulls 3x5 (5kg) Bitch weight, but back is my weakpoint, LETS BUILD.
BW pull ups 4x submax

Facepulls 4x20
Laterall raises 4x20
Bicep curls 4x15
tricep ext. 4x15

Mentally this session was mediocre, can feel the “post meet blue’s”, mentally just a little bit tired. 5/10

Tempo pin squats (4-1-1) @ rpe 7
160 x 5
160 x 5
160 x 5
170 x 5
I kinda wanna push this for a set of 5 @200kg tbh

Pretty happy with this. I did them regulair paused instead of PIN because pin kinda hurt my elbows. Coach wants me to retry next week. Slower decent, keep tightness etc. I just fucking hate pin squats. It fucks up my groove when squatting.

Larsen press 3x5 2sec paused 90kg
Pendlay rows 3x10 50kg
Dumbell bench 25kg 4x15
Dumbell rows 4x15 25kg

Another session in the bunkr down. (my home gym) Due to time/work i decided to train at home, although with covid cases rising here again (due to some dumb fucks who wont follow the fucking rules lol) i suspect gyms a second “lockdown” is possible… Although i hope it doesnt happen.

Squats: 3x3 192,5kg
Easy as hell. Decided to play around in flats once more, didnt really think it was better or worse than heels. Will keep with heels probably, just feels better.

Bench: 4x3 105kg
Nothing much to say. Felt gud

Deadlift (conventional) 3x3 185kg
Felt heavy-ish, but not really? Like idk. Moved good though.
