@Perrin Aybara. Here's links to my first two logs.
First cycle log and meet prep
Perrin Aybara's Journey to an Elite Powerlifting Total
Current stats
Age: early 30's
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 214lbs
Been training for powerlifting a little over two years.
All-time best lifts
Squat: 425 raw, 500 with wraps
Bench: 370 paused
Deadlift: 600 sumo, 585 conventional
Currently slightly lower on each lift as I've cut around 23lbs since January and also had some knee issues earlier this year. Should be back to 100% very soon.
Training is all mapped out right up to the meet. Currently on my second 4 week volume block. Doing some hypertrophy work and non comp lifts in higher rep ranges. Four days a week training, squatting of some type three days, benching/pressing all four days and deadlifts on two days. My fourth day is a strongman or bodybuilding day.
After this 4 weeks is up I'll switch to more comp specific training. It'll be squat and deadlift two days each and bench/pressing all four days. This will last for two 4 week blocks and then I'll transition into the peaking phase and pretty much only doing very heavy comp lifts and the fourth day will be recovery only.
Here's some examples of weeks from each block to give an idea of the training. Accessories for the later weeks haven't been chosen yet as I'll be diagnosing weak points and choosing them when I get to those points. Looks like I forgot to fill in a few things, will correct that soon.
Diet is currently 3900 calories a day. Macros are generally 50/20/30 C/F/P, but I've been toying with more fat lately trying to reduce sugar intake. My whole nutrition plan kind of got tossed out the window about an hour ago and I'll explain more on that later. Anyway, diet is mostly clean. Green vegetables with every meal, Ezekiel bread if I have bread, whole grain pasta, skim milk, oatmeal, etc. One cheat meal a week usually. I use MyFitnessPal to track everything. I suppose my original nutrition plan actually still stands, just scaled back a bit. I'll slowly increase calories as the weeks go on.
Supplements are fish oil, garlic, CoQ-10, niacin, a few others I'm probably forgetting. I'll have to update that when I'm home and looking at what I have.
The cycle is as follows:
Weeks 1-3 test prop 50mg/day
Weeks 1-16 test cyp 600mg/week
Weeks 1-16 deca 400mg/week
Weeks 13-16 Anavar 50mg/day
Weeks 1-16 hgh 4iu ed
Weeks 1-16 adex starting at 0.25mg eod and adjusting as necessary
This week is week one for everything. I've been running the GH about two months now, first month at 2iu and second month at 3iu. I go up to 4iu tomorrow. I also have a few bottles of peptides left over that I'll throw in somewhere. BPC-157, GHRP-2 and Mod GRF 1-29.
Again, some of these details are going to change because of the same thing as I mentioned in the nutrition part. Nothing major here though.
Bloods will be drawn at least once during this cycle.
What I found out this morning that has changed a few things is I just checked state records for my fed and the 220 bench is lower than my best bench and the deadlift is just a few pounds higher. I have no doubt I can smash these two records at 220lbs in September. While I'll be competing in another state I'd forgotten you will be setting records for your own state. My original plan was to compete at 242 and my goals were 550/415/635. I'm still going to give this my best shot at 220, but may end up being a little more conservative to get my name in the record books. This changes my whole diet plan and I'll probably switch back to prop towards the end and maybe NPP to cut down on water weight. Like I said I just found this out about an hour ago. I think it'd be best if I tried to stay around 225-227 tops and take advantage of the 24 hour weigh ins. I'm pretty psyched about this possibility and I'm cool with making a few changes as the meet is still pretty far out.
Like I said my original goals were 550/415/635 for this cycle/meet. With the weight limitation it might end up being lower.
Can't think of anything else for the moment. This is going to be a great time, great log and great meet.
