Perrin Aybara's Journey to an Elite Powerlifting Total

[Perrin Aybara]

Wouldn't be much help with a trap bar anyways i presume.

Sometimes when I'm feeling lazy i will take a donut (2.5lb plate) and roll the first plate i loaded onto it and it makes a nifty little ramp to pull the other ones off

Didn't even think of that, but you're right. I do the same thing except they have an older, flat style 5lb plate everyone uses for that.

Also did a set of 500x10 on the trap bar, 3x10 chin ups, a couple drop sets of lat pull downs and 5x10 seated row. Went to do some dips without thinking and it still hurts right around my clavicle, so bench is still out of the question for the moment. Gonna trial run my new program the next two weeks until I go on vacation and then start for real the third week of November.

226lbs

Low bar squat with belt 410x2, 430x2, 450x2 (RPE 9), 385x2, 385x2, 385x2, 385x2, 385x4

6" sumo block pulls 495x3, 585x3, 635x3, 570x3, 570x3

5 count beltless paused squats 280lbs for 5x3

One arm dumbbell rows 80lbs for 3x15

Hamstring curls 80lbs for 3x15

Weight is an all-time high since January 2016, looking soft and kinda fat, but oh well it's winter. Low bar felt pretty decent. Sumo block pulls felt stronger than they ever have. 635x3 flew up like nothing. Felt like I had 675x3 in me and 700+ for a single had I tried them.

45 minutes of incline treadmill going progressively higher and faster.

100% serious. It was just fast walking though.

Subbed. A little late getting here. How did you hurt yourself bro? I had to get a rotator cuff repair from 10 years of benching.

Welcome aboard. I'm really not sure what happened. I started getting some pain right along my clavicle on the left side right after I racked the bar or finished doing any dips or horizontal pressing of any kind. Strangely overhead press doesn't seem to affect it. I'm thinking it's not shoulder related hopefully. I'm just gonna take a few weeks off benching and just do light overhead press and see if it goes away.

That's just how it starts!!

Next you'll be in a full spandex suit, hot pink, running down the side of the road.

Then comes the shake weight!!

Soon you'll start speaking metric and shaving your legs for aerodynamics

I think my body hair is impressive enough to actually affect aerodynamics, lol. Anyway, going to walk a few more kilometres on Thursday.

It's just fun picking on the cardio-ers < you're damn right it's a word.

If I'm being honest, I'm including more cardio now than ever.. and soon to kick it up a notch. Conditioning is very overlooked. My goal is to do a bulking cycle with tons of conditioning and cardio to see what kind of effect it has.

With that said, you and Perrin should meet up and hold hands while you do incline together.

227lbs

Strict press 135x5, 165x1, 185x1, 205x1 @ RPE 8(tied for a PR), 135x5, 135x5, 135x5, 135x5

Front squat 255x3, 285x3, 315x3 @ RPE 8.5 (PR), 275x3, 275x3, 275x3

Did a few sets of adductors and abductors with bands and chest to the bar chin ups. Tried unsuccessfully to do a front lever a few times. Can get up in position for a second, but can't keep straight.

Normally this will be bench day, but I'm still taking time off. Overhead press doesn't seem to aggravate the injury for some reason.

@RodgerThat two questions. Is it possible to tear a bicep doing front squats? I sure felt that set at 315 in both biceps. Probably because I was going forward and using my arms to keep the bar up. Also, what's your opinion on front levers? Came across some stuff online about them being a good exercise for bracing your core and lats.

 

[RodgerThat]

Never heard of anyone tearing a bicep from fronts but you shouldn’t have to carry the weight with you me arms it should rest on your shoulders unless your upper back compromises or mobility is the issue. Send me a video of the form if you want
