Meso Powerlifting Corner

Jesus, pretty soon a 500lb bench is gona be the norm from 90kg and up. I’m slacking so bad in bench

I uploaded my deadlift on there and got in the top 75. Figured with a little work and doing an actual rpe 10 lift I could break top 50. Then I looked at bench and I was a bit disappointed. Apparently at 198 I'd need to do roughly 460lbs to get the top 50. I'm not doing that anytime soon. Lol. That's getting into arm squat territory.

Lol, arm squat. That’s no shit. what are you on deads? Mid 600’s?
 
Wondering how you program accessories and assistence lifts. What is most optimal? Programming them along side main lifts or subbing the main lifts for a period of time?
I think it really depends on the individual, their level of training and where they are in relation to their next contest. If they are using an assistant lift to improve a weakness then typically after the comp lift. There’s many different strategies however, partial ROM variants, overload, under loading etc. if a trainee is fatigued from heavy sets of programmed over reach or just happened to go too hard the previous session. Then maybe a variation where maximal load is less than the comp lift is ideal first exercise. Maybe even using an alternative grip or bar, blocks etc to work around an injury or just to compensate for higher volume/frequency

This is probably the best I have seen it put
