Training went not that good for the last 2 weeks, i can’t bench last night , my elbows was screaming hot. I can’t squat with the suit (too tight) , so i dropped all type PL related training. I will start tonight with full body and no powerlifting moves exept oly close stance ‘‘ass to grass’’ or box squat,i’LL replace the dead by powerclean, and the bench press by any overhead pressing. What do you guys think about ?

If you just need some time off go for it. Will overhead stuff be any easier on the elbows?

And you could always do raw deads/squats for a bit if you wanted to.

Elbow screaming its likely an over use prob not so much load meaning even higher rep will not make it happy and isolating it putting it in a weak position not good.

Suit to tight IMO who gives a damn work raw. LOL

Best of luck bro let thaty elbow rest etc.

The first 385 may have been just a hair high, but I had someone looking for the second attempt. I think I’ve definitely got some more in me on the squats, and I’ll hopefully hit 405 pretty soon.

Sumo Pin Pull from Knee

495x1
Belt
545x1
565x1 PR

These went awesome. This is the same height I did 515x3 a month or so ago. The most I had ever done from this height was 545 conventional. Next week I’m going to to drop the pin down a setting. Something in my back tightened up, but I think after icing/ rolling it should be ok.

great job!! you’ll be hitting 4 wheels in no time. pin pulls are looking good too.
don’t worry about the volume. if it ain’t broken… don’t fix it.

That’s pretty strange. I’ve heard Poliquin and some others talking before about grains or wheat causing inflammation in the body. You think this is what you were experiencing?

I’M pretty sure, i will drop carbs for another 10 days to see. Eating clean to keep a good bodycomp is hard, afterall i don’t really mind my bodycomp, but if eating low carb allows me to lift more weight i’ll do it

Next week will be my 9th week doing a powerlifting type workout. I am suppose to max out towards the end of the 9th week. Just wondering what you guys thought might be the best way to do this. All the lifts on one day? If so in which order? I was thinking if I did it this way maybe go Squat, Deadlift, then Bench? Or should I break it up over 3-4 days? Maybe Day 1 Squat, Day 2 Bench, Day 3 off, Day 4 Deadlift. Suggestions would be much appreciated!

how about going for a 1 rep max on the days you would be training those lifts anyway. example, ME bench day, ME squat/dead day-test the squat the first week and then the dead next week. you wouldn’t get an accurate reading on each lift if you tried them all in the same day.
what kind of powerlifting program are you following now?
