Perrin Aybara's Journey to an Elite Powerlifting Total

Training looks really solid Perrin.

I've resorted to reverse grip, false grip OHP's as they feel the best to my shoulders. 175 is plenty heavy enough on these for me.

False grip feels way natural to me, too. Probably would on bench, but the fear of dropping it keeps me from trying.

I'm gonna PM this 610x1 deadlift video to you, it was seriously insane. Was close to lockout and just lost it, dropped the bar a good six inches back below my knees and somehow just dug deep and recovered it and locked it out. Would've been red lights at a meet for sure, but a good gym lift and first PR since 2016.

Tried false on bench didn't feel right also fear of eminent death will probably keep me from doing again...hell I don't even like scary movies :oops:

One of the most awesome lifts I have ever seen either in person or on video.

Just as he described it was close to lockout on an all out max. Couldn't get it and it dropped to just below his knees. Somehow regrouped and pulled it from a dead stop to lockout.

Unreal determination. Great stuff!!

You won't drop it. I'm guessing but I would say I've done over 10,000 reps using a false grip to bench as it feels natural and allows me to bench without shoulder or elbow pain.

I've hit over 400 in competition at 194 and close to 400 at 181 in competition so fairly heavy.

I work out at home alone and bench in a rack with the pins set so that if I lose it I won't get crushed.

Only had it happen once and that was when I had partially torn a pec and was trying to work around it with a narrower grip. Was focused more on how the rep felt than my form and I lost it forward about midway up. Lost a good bar because of it but the pins being set correctly saved me from injury.

I have the bar directly in the middle of the palm pad just below the thumb. If you try it like that it will feel very solid. From that position if you do ever lose it, it will be forward towards your ribs instead of backwards towards your neck and face.

I just couldn't let that day end on a bad note. Not sure how it happened as I would've said that lift was unsalvageable.

I'll try it out soon since I'm still benching light at the moment anyway. See how it feels.
 
222lbs

Speed squats with bands 350lbs + bands for 15x2

One arm dumbbell rows 80lbs for 3x15

Beltless high bar squats 315lbs for 5x5

My tooth is bothering me again and just wanted to get in and out. Was really fatigued the last couple days, so I'm guessing it's infected again. Was feeling my heartbeat in my jaw after every set.

I would like to second this. One of the most insane lifts I have ever seen. How you regrouped that, I'm still quite unsure of
