Perrin Aybara's Journey to an Elite Powerlifting Total

[Perrin Aybara]

Ordered three new toys:

EliteFTS front squat harness
EliteFTS figure eight straps
Titan Fitness weight releasers

Front squat harness obviously because I've so far been unable to really hit front squats hard. The straps I'm finally seeing a need for. I'm on the road for work hitting random gyms and many don't allow chalk and also to save my hands. Never heard of figure 8 wraps until recently and I like that the setup is faster than regular wraps. I went to Lowe's today to DIY some weight releasers and the price would've been similar to these Titan ones, so I just bought them instead.

Sumo deadlift 545lbs for 3x5

Kneeling reverse band overhead press 205lbs for 5x3

Front squat 135lbs for 3x15

Chest supported row 3x15

Hamstring curls 3x15

Switching back to sumo on my comp deadlift day from here on. Felt a little off today. Also feeling like I might be getting sick and the gym is too cold. Not enough that you actually feel cold, but feel your muscles getting cold very quickly after sets. Just not a good day today.

i love smashing out a set or two with high volume at the end of my presses. I swear the added volume at the end pays dividends for me.

Last week was my first time flat benching since the meet. Trying to go light and ease back into it. Definitely get sore from reps that high though.

Still kinda too early to tell. They're hard even with light weight though.

500x15 is huge!! I don't think I could get 15x315 and I would be really winded after. Did you video that?

Of course, I'll PM it to you.

Here's the 500x15 edited to remove my face. Still can't figure out how to blur my face on my phone, so this will have to do.

If you have iPhone here's an app (that I have on my own iPhone):

https://itunes.apple.com/fj/app/video-toolbox-movie-maker/id892281503?mt=8

Looks like a basic version that you can upgrade to do more. The Mask plugin for the app is $2.99 which is the plugin you need to do face blurring.

Why not take a look?

PS: Insane reps there...you had at least 2 more reps in the tank lol.

Thanks, but I've got the Galaxy Note 8.

Oh there may be a similar app for Android.

I am considering going back to Android myself once the lease is up on my iPhone 8.

I recently picked up the Note 9. Absolutely love it. I dont think you can go wrong with switching to android....but thats just my opinion.
