Perrin Aybara's Journey to an Elite Powerlifting Total

Perrin Aybara said:
Yeah, still running 2iu/day currently. I think it helps, but it's not like a miracle. After over two years of being unable to bench without pretty severe pain I'm pretty happy to be over that. It's mostly just little stuff now common with peaking for a meet.

Do you sleep better? I can imagine that alone would help me a great deal, unless I was draggin ass in the mornings.
 
Nice numbers bro. How do you feel with that much pulling volume? I could probably find out myself if I go back far enough here, but are you pulling high volume weekly?

Also, how has The GH effected your strength / weight? Has there been a noticeable difference in size?

The higher volume isn't too bad with lighter weight like I was using today.

I alternate in three week waves. Medium intensity and higher volume like today, low volume and low intensity, and medium volume and high intensity.

I don't do all my pulling volume with deadlift from the floor though. I do some with belt squats to leave my lower back out and some from blocks as they're less taxing on the hips and CNS. Also I find doing stuff like deadlift stance front squats and box squats to be helpful.

I want all my pulls in training to be fast and smooth. There's really only one set in my three week blocks that's max effort. If I go in and they're moving really slow I'll call it. Like last week on block pulls 635lbs was moving slow and I stopped there. When I'm pushing those grindy and slow reps is when I start to regress.

Deadlift is a tricky creature with volume and intensity. The low back is slow to recover and taxing your CNS too hard and too often makes you get weaker. On the other you need more volume to keep progressing. So for me getting some of that volume in with other movements with similar mechanics works well. Then only doing that one CNS wrecking set every three weeks leaves me plenty of recovery time.

The HGH makes a huge difference in body composition. Not really much in the way of weight or strength as far as I can tell. I do think it helps preserve strength and muscle on a cut beyond just what test alone does.
 
That’s kinda what I was looking to hear. I’m looking at moving my comp DL to every 10 to 14 days. While subbing it for DL stance box squats / rack pulls / heavy BB rows / block pulls etc. getting into higher numbers and pulling conventional every 5-6 days is killing my lower back and CNS.

I’ve really been wanting to give GH a go, after reading a ton about it and how well it works for keeping a nice bf% so just wanted a first hand account before shelling out the $$ for 6 month supply.

Appreciate ya bro.

Comp squats 370x5, 390x5, 410x1 and knee gave out.

Comp bench 315x4, 315x4, 315x4, 315x4

Comp bench with slingshot 350x4, 350x4

I think I'm done with low bar forever. It's just not worth it. Gonna see where my high bar is next week. My best ever beltless high bar in sleeves is 95% of my best ever low bar with belt and sleeves, so I think that may be my best bet. That extra 5% isn't worth not being able to bench.

My elbows are trashed again. I guess I'm gonna take the rest of the week off bench. 315lbs felt easy today, probably could've done it for 10 reps, just the pain was ridiculous.

Damn...hope that's not a major setback for you. Have you gotten those armbands or elbow sleeves? I have the copperfit ones and they help some.

Damn dude, sounds like maybe the sdrol woes made you have a bad session. Ive been there but it was actually with anavar. Tough couple days will pass, take a mental/physical break. Come back lucid, kick that shit in the dick and keep charging forward.
Click to expand...

Hopefully. I dropped the sdrol, still running the var at 75mg. I think I'm for real done with low bar though.

Worf said:
That's definitely an important consideration. I'm probably going to use the buffalo bar or cambered until meet day

I actually strictly use a buffalo bar for low bar squats. Have for a couple years now.

We must have different issues then, dude. My elbow sleeves all but cured my pain. And it was BAD... mine was on the inside of the elbow, though. Like where the bicep meets.

Yeah, mine seems to originate from the outside of my elbows. That's awesome it fixed it, I wish I could find a fix for mine besides giving up low bar.
