Franchise24 training log 2016/2017

I completely forgot about the Meso powerlifting section. I had been searching for some of your guys' logs. Now I get to drop in and give you some hell.

That's cool and all, but not near as impressive as my Honda Civic that hauled a 1500lb trailer across 1700 miles.
I would step on the gas, RPM would go up, gas would go down, and I would still be going 55

Lol!!! I wouldn't want my wife's car or a car note. I don't really like to drive it much either.

It does have that giddy up. Honda's last for a long time. Low maintenance.

I feel ya on the car note. I don't wanna pay a loan, I like owning my piece of shit car out right lol. I will eventually get a loan for a nicer car tho, but not for probably 2 years. Hopefully this car last that long.

I'm like you. I paid my car off and all my bills. Just have utilities, phone bill and mortgage. I once said I'd get into a really nice car once I paid my bills off.

Once I paid all my bills off and saw all the expendable income I have. I said fuck that. No bills. I'll ride my car till the wheels fall off.

Maybe trade that car for a truck

With a truck you can haul all that gym gear around in lol.

[Masters Power]

For me it's more like a tunnel vision. It's like everything else around you sounds like the teachers in Charlie Brown. I don't like to get too keyed up before I lift. Just enough to get me amped up but too much and I just forgot everything and am barbaric. Paying no mind to form or commands or anything. So it's more like a controlled adrenaline or anger for me.

This is similar to the way I am although I still hear the sounds around me I just don't pay them any attention.

Strange thing for me has always been the "adrenaline rush" of a meet helps me number wise squatting and even more so deadlifting but has never given me a boost when benching in competition.

My best guess is that because bench is my best lift I am more in tune with that lift when training and there isn't much room for improvement on the platform but I've never really figured it out.

I can't wait for my first meet. Hopefully I can get with a few guys from MESO and head to one.

You will enjoy it. I got in the loop a bit late on the group meet idea but I'm interested depending on how and when it all comes together.

Supposedly a few members are going to a meet in September. I can't make it. Wife is do in October maybe September.

@Docd187123 said to try to find a local meet. Just to get my feet. Trying to find one but no dice.

 

[Masters Power]

Yes I'm in for the September meet if everyone else is.

PM me your general area and I will see what I can find. I know a lot of different feds.

Competition Squat:

1. 135 1x10
2. 225 1x10
3. 315 1x5
4. 365 1x3
5. 405 6x3 RPE 9 Starting to feel better. This was harder than it should have been but all reps and sets completed with good form.

Supplemental/Volume Squat:
315 1x20
315 2x15

Goal was 315 3x20. As I unracked the bar for the second set, I puked all over the platform. I cleaned the shit up. Took about 10-15 minutes in total. Then I finished my workout.

Overall great workout. I'm pleased. Sipping Pedialyte as I type this. Lol

Hey man I went back thru the gear thread and you have quite the collection!! Have you ever tried calf sleeves, ankle sleeves? I sometimes get some tenderness down there after squats. It doesn't hold me back but I thought about buying some to help with stability and recovery.

I've never tried them. Never had an issue with my calves. Wish I could help on that one. I stretch often two three times a day. I will be starting physical therapy next week just for preventive maintenance.

@franchise24

I've shared this video before on here but it's been some time. Just listen to it all. It really describes training, and lifting during a meet, for me personally. I relate to it a lot

That's what im screamin...i thought about it the other day...i could afford a car payment now if i wanted, but i looked out the window at old trashcan joe (my truck) and i realized something...i dont fucking care lol my little beater trucker runs great, just needs minor work done but nothing serious, engine n transmission are in great shape, I'd rather spend the money on a trip back home, or concert tickets,or better food lol.
