Perrin Aybara's Journey to an Elite Powerlifting Total

[Perrin Aybara]

Lol, awesome.

No, it wasn't, lol. I was pinning my delt and the cough came on before I was done. Had to hold it back and pin the rest real quick. Then got down on my knees by the bed and waited for it to pass. Wasn't like fetal position thinking I was gonna die shit luckily, just felt like my lungs were on fire for a few minutes and couldn't stop coughing and pouring sweat.

That be an amazing pull for that weight. I am sure you can pull rabbits out of hats to make that big pull come meet day. Keep your eyes on the prize!

It would yeah. Didn't realise quite what a scrawny cunt @Perrin Aybara it

I had a chat with a young PL dude at my gym last night - kid's in the 220lb class, but benches 570 raw He mentioned I should qualify for the Proraw event at the Arnolds here if I could manage 460.

I told him maybe I could even qualify on my 680 dead, but he laughed and said that's what the 200lb kids are pulling

He's not lying. Lol. A couple of the guys I'm going against in the 198 class are 700lbs deadlifters. One of the guys is a 700lbs squatter too raw with wraps.

That's why I don't want to cut to 198lbs, already too small as it is. Can't bear being sub 200lbs, lol.

Sorry for the late response but you made the choice I would have made too.

 

[Perrin Aybara]

208lbs

Comp bench 315x2, 335x2, 350x2, 365x2

Went better than I expected. Still getting major pain from it, but only got a few more reps to get through before I can take time off.

Rested and jacked up for a meet, you’re going over 400!

That's what my training partner says. Meet PR is 370lbs, gym PR is 405lbs, I'll be happy with anything 375+ with this injury feeling like it does.

So much for your bench lagging behind. Ha. Looks like you should be pretty damn close to touching 400 at the meet.

Still not what it was last year, but it's better than I expected. Ibuprofen + aspirin + halo for the win.

I can't remember if I've said, but I'm running the following at the moment:

700mg/week test cyp
350mg/week test prop
350mg/week NPP
700mg/week tren ace
50mg/day anavar

You ever use Anadrol? That is currently my favourite oral for strength boost. I am running it and anavar for 6 weeks leading up to my next meet. I take Anadrol MWF at 100 mg and Anavar TU,TH,Sa at 60 mg. Sunday is off orals.

Yeah, it just makes me feel like shit and be dead tired all the time. Makes driving a truck unsafe when I'm struggling to stay awake. I can handle 50mg ED for awhile and I'm actually thinking about adding that in when I'm a week or so out. I did 50mg each of var and drol at the beginning of this cycle and it worked out well, I just added the drol later and didn't run it as long.

 

[Perrin Aybara]

Trying to turn this weight loss around.

You don't look that small in those pics. A dude your size and weight should be able to pull the insane weight you are pulling

Yeah. I'm a fair bit heavier than you and got the same dreadful lethargy after two weeks on 50mg of drol. Most of the PL guys I've spoken to only use it pre-workout/meet for the same reason.

I just can't deal with feeling like that all day, every day. It's miserable.

I’ve made it 4 weeks at 100 twice. Heartburn and lethargy was crazy. Put up good strength but gained 15lbs both times, and missed weight. I’m going with var at the end of this prep. I feel it’s underrated because I get good strength from it and no sides, other than painful pumps!

I've never gotten crazy weight gain like that from anything. I think I don't hold water weight very well or something. But yeah, I tried 100mg of drol ED and I think I only made it like a week. It was unbearable.

 

[Perrin Aybara]

Comp deadlift 605x1, 640x1, 675x1

675x1 wasn't as fast as I'd like, but I've never failed to surpass expectations with deadlift on meet day, so hopefully the deload and a cheering crowd will get me that last 25lbs.
