Meso Powerlifting Corner

I know guys that just walk in and lift heavy without a warmup:eek:. I probably do too much but if I don't feel kind of tight/slight pump I don't feel like I can activate half the muscles I need.

For 10 years I never did a bench set lighter than 225 pounds. Then my elbows started paying the price and it took several years to get both my elbows and shoulders back in good shape by doing things the proper way.

Luckily I have been able to overcome my own stupidity.
 
Crazy I just found my notebook from June 2014 which was the day I started my first cycle of test prop and dbol 2 weeks on 2 weeks off. All my measurements and maxes.

Rodgers June 4th 2014 mock meet:
BW 175lb 13%bf 5'8
Squat 295lb
Bench 255lb TNG
Deadlift 365lb
Shoulder press 145lb

Rodgers July 10th 2016 mock meet:
BW 188lb 13%bf 5'8
Squat 465 raw (up 175lb) 495 wraps
Bench 305 comp 335 TNG (up 80lbs)
Deadlift 545lb (up 180lb)
Shoulder press 205lb (up 60lb)
Clean & jerk 225

I'm doing a meet June 2017 so will get to see my 3 year progression too. Wish I had 2015 but I recorded those on my phone and that phone died before I could transfer data. But for two years I'm pretty pleased, if I could even make a fraction of that in the next two years id be ecstatic

I track all of my workouts on my phone. I agree it is really cool seeing your progression. Especially when I feel like I'm spinning my wheels getting nowhere, I'll look back a couple months and see I'm using my old 1 rep max for sets of 6. Ha. Although I feel like I never make progress, this whole year I've consistently averaged 20+lbs on my total every month, so I guess I'm doing something right.
 
Fuck. My. Life.

Not sure where to start, brothers. I've hit a weight loss plateau over the past few months. I'll cut some carbs, since I'm not sure I'll be able to do much else in the next few weeks... there's no easy way to say this: I broke my dick, bros. Ive seen it on 'sex sent me to the ER', but it fucking happened. 4 days ago, to be exact. My wife and I were messing around with our friend again and I was hitting it REALLY fucking hard from behind. Jack hammering it..well, she moved and it slipped out, and I slammed into the area between her vag and ass. Or her pelvis, I'm not sure which, exactly. I heard/felt a loud popping and my dick immediately went limp. My taint was on fire--found out later it was part of the muscle--and my balls started to swell beyond belief. I was almost in shock. Felt light headed. The next 2 days I had to literally carry my grapefruit-sized 8-balls around, until I bought some tighties. it's a nightmare that I wish on no man. God only knows when my soldier will be ready for battle again. Our friend works in an OBGYN clinic, her Dr friend examined everything and said I should be ok, since i didn't want to make an ER visit. But holy fuck. This is an entirely different meaning to blue balls.

Since I can't do anything except upper body right now, I'm looking to maybe use this disaster to get into cardio. Some treadmill walking, or something.

Damn dude that sucks. I've popped the fuck out of mine but it never went limp or swelled my balls up:oops:. Just the popping fucking hurts:confused:

Hope you make a speedy recovery, that's awful.
 
Thanks man. Possibly the worst thing I've ever experienced, personally.

- sorry if this doesn't belong here. I don't really contribute to any other thread, and didn't feel like drawing attention with a thread of my own, but still needed to tell someone, lol.

Well, it's a powerlifting thread. Powerlifters do get laid a lot and also sometimes get injured as well, so it seems to me you posted this in the right place, lol.

Good points, man. Haha

Have had that happen a few times @NovaFlex
never had "it pop" and go down instantly, but i had to take a breather for sure.
good luck in your recovery!!
Yeah man, I've stuffed it up a few times, but never that hard. I was going for broke with her though, haha, and paid the price.
 
What's up guys, I've lurked for awhile on here but finally made an account to post. I compete in the 220/242 weight class.
My best lifts are 655lb squat with wraps, 645 deadlift, 390 pause bench. Im heading towards a 1800-1850 total next year and plan on doing ipl worlds.
Some decent numbers there for sure bud in a class of your own
