5 Guys....Not just a burger joint anymore

06/24/16

Incline bench 225 5x4
Bench press 225 3x8
Dips BW 4x16
Cable lifts 17.5 4x12
Tricep double rope push down 30 4x16
Tricep single arm rope push down 20 4x8
Tricep overhead extensions 120 4x12

Skipped my squats today cause I got a lacrosse game so time crunch. My bench needs more work then my squats otherwise I would have favoured squats I usually never skip leg day, I promise!

Joints are starting to crack quite a bit so Ima drop my letro back to .625mg Ed instead of 1.25mg, yes I use a lot of AI I'm just really good at converting to estrogen.
 
don't have to be fat to be a powerlifter I went into my comp at a nice 10% BF and I wasn't trying to remain lean but that's what happens when you are determined to stay in a weight class. Hell im sure rob will probably be the leanest of his life when we compete when he weighs in at 198
 
See...See...It's all about the ab's with you!!!

Two criteria must be met.
1. First place
2. at least 82 reps
I remember you saying that you put 505 up for 1 I believe.
Using the 1 RM calculator a 504 1RM says you can get 135 for 82.
Hit those two criteria...I'll sent you a cookie. In fact, tell me your favorite cookie and I'll have my wife bake you a batch of homemade.

Is 82 your final answer? Y'all's mathematical PL crap blows my damn mind. lol

Come on Odie I still have my abs. You can be vein and strong. I'm walking proof
Yeah but your a freak boyee!

30mins stretching/yoga (hot girl doing yoga in the stretching room so I asked if she could teach me.... What she didn't know is I use to do yoga 2x a week:p)

Had to modify due to my finger couldn't grip for powercleans or weighted pull ups and for deadlifts I had to do it beltless cause the belt made me feel like I'd puke so no AMRAP like planned.
 
Fuck. Injuries are a part of the game but the meso powerlifting gang is banged up with a of bunch of nagging shit that needs to heal up quickly.

I know, we're all banged up right now. I'm still 100% on pulling strength, but it hurts so bad on the way down it's like my hand locks up and I have to peel my fingers off the bar.
 
I guess it comes with the training. I finally had to tapout on bench all together for at least a week. Still did some OHP in its place.
That benching 4 times a week was killing me. I dont know how you do it MP.
Looks like Rob is thinking of running the same program Im running now, interested to see how it does for him.

I considering it. I'm gonna run it by my friend and see what he thinks or if there is any customization I can do. On another since I'm posting. I moved my mom into a new house today. 4.5 full sized moving trucks and 10hrs of work and my hammy held up very well. I'm still gonna keep off for another week and use the following week to break it in. That'll put me 10 weeks out. Which is when I'll start my program

Ive made a few small changes. I read up on it and you are actually supposed to customize it. But since most people dont know what theyre doing the do exactly whats written.

What program is it?
 
Weighed in at 216lbs

Bicycle to and from the gym

Chin ups 5x10
Hamstring curls 105 5x10
Weighted dips +70 (286 total) 5x10
Dumbbell hammer curls 30's 3x10 each side
Adductors 120 3x20
Abductors 120 3x20

My elbows are killing me from my latest adjustment to my low bar form.
 
Going through this program I need to find something to substitute good mornings and floor press

Oh yeah and rev band deadlift
 
Sorry to high jack yalls thread. Let's say for shits and giggles I was interested, where would I start? What program? Can I keep my abs? Lol

The pic below is Dan Green who is one of the best power lifters of all time in my opinion and still hold world records I beleive. Look into the Boss Barbell Method. I think it will be right up your alley without a doubt.

I finally joined the serious gym we have in town. So hopefully my elbow will be good to go from here on out as I will be squatting with either a SSB bar or a Cambered bar up until I set my openers. And now it won't affect my bench either
