Perrin Aybara's Journey to an Elite Powerlifting Total

Perrin Aybara said:
In relation to the other lifts deadlift is stronger, yes. Probably will only hit 365-375lbs at the meet on bench. 375lbs would be a meet PR, but will still be disappointing because I've hit 405lbs in the gym.



Not an option unfortunately. My health insurance premium went up a ton this year and I had to cancel my insurance.

Not sure of any alternatives... I'm really curious about what is driving the pain you have pop up from benching.

Zero pain from overhead press, too. I'm just going to keep trying different stretches and prehab type stuff and hope something takes. Treatment by Google like I've always had to do.

Narrowing doesn't help. Haven't tried widening it. My right wrist is kinda jacked up and the angle from going wider might bother it, but I'll give it a try after this meet next week.

Do dips hurt?

I forget now where you said pain is? I'm wondering if it's some kind of fasciitis.

Haven't really done any dips lately. It didn't last I did some bodyweight ones.

Right here on the left side only. Like where my upper chest meets my neck and traps and runs straight across away from my body. Doesn't really hurt until I rack the bar after bench and start to take my hands off the bar releasing the pressure. Then it makes my left hand want to lock up it hurts so badly. Sometimes at work when I pick something up at certain angles I get a bit of a twinge. Zero pain from overhead press. Any kind of horizontal pressing hurts the same though. Dumbbells or even flyes hurt.
 
It's looking like this meet I was going to do next weekend is cancelled. I emailed the director to ask a question and got no response. Next I emailed the place that was having the meet. No response. A friend from the gym knows the director and his wife and he's gotten no response from either of them.

I found another meet four hours from here on the same day, but there's no same day weigh ins and my girlfriend can't get Friday off and we'd have to drive separately and stay at least one night and maybe two. It's also full power only and I haven't been doing barbell squats for awhile since I was getting ready for a push pull.

So I'm thinking just a mock meet in the gym. Considering buying a Rogue Fitness Ohio Deadlift bar to use since I'm saving all the money I would've spent at the meet. Or just say screw it and do a mock meet with the stiff gym bar and really save money.

Thoughts?

Will probably start a thread on the Ohio bar as well.

Oh that really sucks and I am sure all the other contestants are wondering the same thing. Seems all the participants should have been contacted if the meet is cancelled and any refunds due to them should be paid out.

All that hard work you put in and this happens. Why not try for a meet in the early fall so that you can take a bit of a break?

I've already done a short meet peak, so one way or another I'll be testing my bench and deadlift this weekend. At another meet or just the gym.

No breaks. Won't pull 700+ taking breaks. But yeah, most likely fall or winter. I'm planning on continuing to cruise at least two more months and then run a 12 week cycle most likely.

A mock meet sounds good in case you can't get to another meet soon and the extra time in between now and a fall/winter meet could even help you get to solidify your best numbers.

You came this far and you have to be proud of that.
 
214lbs (really struggling to maintain weight while eating "clean")

Comp bench 185lbs for 3x3

Comp deadlift 315lbs for 3x3

Bunch of stretches

Will be going back to mostly overhead press after this week most likely since that pain has come back from bench. I'm thinking one bench movement a week with mostly speed work to maintain what strength I can. Vertical pressing for all my other pressing.

Out of curiosity, why the 25lb jumps on deads between first a second? Personally I'd do 585-625-650

I open with the weight of my last max triple before the meet. Wasn't quite happy with the speed of the third rep of 615x3 the other day, so went for a conservative 600. Didn't do a full peak with doubles to project second attempts, so just split the difference between my projected third attempt of 650 and went 625.
 
So basically anything over 615 is a PR then. Awesome man. I was just going to suggest going for a PR on your second but your e already doing that lol.

I was thinking about doing the same thing with anadrol and bar. Glad you can confirm it's awesomeness
