Jay Max Log (Switching from BB to PL and a place to BS)

My advice is give yourself 8-12 weeks to prepare for a meet. Not to just get the body ready but you'll have 2-3months to let the mind come along to. Which, in my opinion is one of the biggest factors of lifting.

Also continue to log your lifting on a day to day basis. Doesn't have to be on here. Pen and paper works great. I will never stop now that I have. It allows me to objectively see what works and what doesn't. Especially when you start including diet into your logging and what you did peri workout as far as nutrition.

Good advice. I still might do one when it pops up just for the experience.

As for the log, Im still using my app to log my workouts. Ill have to find a new way in the new year when I switch programs up. I havent found anything for westside barbell as far as apps. Might just be an excel spreadsheet on the phone or good old pen n paper
 
Im about ready to do the same as truck. Maybe after this blast I will start. Decesions an decisions bahaha
Now then you'll add some goodies to the mix and then things get freaky haha

A small guy like you moving kickass weight would make the big guys cry!
 
So this weekend Im entering a power competition. Im away from home and the gym im using now is having a bench/squat/dead/push-up/pull-up contest.
Each event is separate. And you only get one chance once youve started the lift. (Push-up and pull-up is how many you can do timed).
Im going to see what I can do in bench and squat. Maybe DL depending on what order everything goes in.

Not good. I can do between 90 and 100 push ups in the 2 minutes, depending on how strict anyone is about parallel. But since ive put on weight my pull ups went to shit.

Thats why I was gonna skip those. Might as well not waste any energy.
 
This event sounds small. Right up my alley. I was in to PL in my teen years. I went to 1 official meet. Sounds alot like this one. Wasn't real strict. Shorts and a shirt of some sort. Knee wraps allowed. A medium sized gymnasium with a few stations set up. Weight classes and all. I did well won 3rd place my first go. And I never even practiced the deadlift. I learned that day of my meet. Hell all I ever wanted to do when I was 16 was bench.
I was the 189 class 16 yrs old
B 315
Squat 270
Deadlift 405

You should of seen me try to deadlift lol. I got the 405 alright wasn't pretty but I'd be damned if that wasn't coming off the ground.

You should do good? Checked out the competition yet?

Yea. Its a little local thing. Only rules are in form and no bench shirts, etc.
I should do ok. I hope so. I dont think everyone else is juicing.
On the sign up sheet everyone had to list their "maxes". If thats true I should be right up there in everything but DL. BUT im betting a few folks lied about their numbers. So far its only about 10 - 12 guys and 8 females.
Should be fun. Wish Id brought some halo though.
 
Well you can at least count on 12 th place if all else fails lol
Joking I'm joking :)
Really tho...can't let some beavers beat ya:mad:
 
Had an interesting night in the gym. About 5pm the power goes out. It just started getting dark. Half the people left. Half (including me) stayed and worked out by cell phone flashlight and the street lights from outside.
