MP's PL Meet Training Log- 3rd Edition

[Masters Power]

Nice lift on the 408.5 looked smooth, so no surprise to me you hit 410, cause when i watched the video i thought to myself " he's got more".
You are ready brother!!!

Thanks for the continued support Mr B. Setbacks came early enough in the training cycle that I had time to recover. Haven't lifted in this federation or on this type of bench before so there are some variables still to be dealt with but I'm in pretty good shape on the bench.

Pulling is a little more of a crapshoot but adrenalin generally works in my favor on deads during a meet.

Have to see how it goes in terms of warm ups, judging and what the bench they are using is like. It's a kilos meet so right now I'm looking at either 374, 402, 413 or if things seem to be clicking maybe 374, 407, 418.

10/31
speed pulls in full gear 3x325, 1x375, 5x1 420, 1x455, 1x475
dead hang pull ups 3x10
bent rows 3x8 225

After an ugly pulling session last Saturday today was much better. Things moved smoothly. 475 moved pretty quickly. Plan on opening at 495 next weekend. Second and third will be based on how things are moving and also what number I put up benching.

face pulls 10x 100, 110, 120

412 went up but not near as smooth and evenly as 410 did 2 days ago. Tomorrow is last max day. It will be based on how I feel. Could be as low as 405 or up to 413.

11/2
paused bench 5x175, 5x225, 2x275, 1x325, 1x375, 1x405

375 didn't move all that fast and being my last heavy session prior to the meet I played in conservative to avoid any chance of a miss and just did 405 with a solid pause which moved evenly but not real quick.

Tuesday and today worked up to 295 paused each day. Tomorrow I will work up to my 375 opener. Friday morning weigh in should be no issue as I'm 196 tonight.

[theprodgicalson]

Are you doing a Push/Pull meet Masters?

 

[Masters Power]

Thanks Brutus, Jay and Mr. B. You guys have been here since the start and I appreciate the support.

 

[Masters Power]

Are you doing a Push/Pull meet Masters?

Yes sir.

 

[Masters Power]

Worked up to my 375 opener yesterday after work. It went up very quickly and smoothly. Weighed in at 194 this morning. Meet bench blows. Hard as a brick with virtually no padding. It is what it is.

50 lifters, one platform. Meet director doesn't think squats will be done until around 11:30 and I'm in the third bench flight. I hate sitting around forever before starting so I don't plan on getting there until around 11:30 and I will watch the first flight of bench to see how the judging is. Healthy and ready to see what happens tomorrow.

Good luck masters p[emoji123]
