Bet @Mac11wildcat would love to coach him on the finer things of the bb world, lmao just teasing.

Perrin's an almost rare breed that could do both bb and pl :)

It's all good, @Perrin Aybara! Hopefully you'll get right back to your comfort zone once again soon.
 
From this morning:

Fasted cardio
10 minute warmup
10 minutes HIIT
5 minute rest
40 minute incline treadmill

Switched yesterday and today around because I had to go out of state for work today. Will do fasted cardio in the morning again at the hotel and be home tomorrow evening. Lifting tomorrow as normal and since we're leaving for vacation Saturday I'll be doing that day on Friday and then getting a week pass at a gym after we get where we're going.

It's around there, there's just a lot of talk in between training posts. Try around 224 and look for my posts with sets and reps. That was like mid September, my last meet was mid October, so that's coming up on go time.

Okay so last meet was Mid October, what was the last meet before that? I will start reading there, I might just go through all the pages lol.

@Millard Baker Will you please consider this thread to be made a sticky? Tons of great info here and 100k+ views. Thank you for your time.

Last meet was almost exactly a year before in mid October 2018, I think it was around page 190 I was starting to get ready for it. It was a bench and deadlift only meet and looked a little different training wise.

Lately I've been running three week blocks alternating a volume day (3-6x5), recovery/speed day (12x1-3), and a peak set day (3x3 + 1 AMRAP) for each of the big three. Like one week would be volume squat, recovery bench, and peak deadlift for instance and then rotate. Variations would be chosen based on needs and rotated as necessary. Also ran Smolov Jr. for bench alone this last meet prep, so bench training looked a little different than normal. Overall was impressed with the program though.

Starting out a ways before the meet the peak set AMRAP weight would be low, like getting 10-15 reps and weight would be increased as the weeks went on. Eventually it would just be peak doubles or triples.

In the past I've done three week peaking blocks before the meet where volume would be cut. Like peak doubles three weeks out, peak triples two weeks out, then deload meet week. I've felt like this peaked me too early and this last meet I just did two weeks. I think this was just right, but the downside was I didn't know where I was at for a max as well without the extra time doing doubles and triples. I went too low on my third squat and just a little too high on my third bench.

Anyway, I appreciate the compliment and thanks for reading. When I started this log I didn't think it would go on this long. I do intend to see it though until elite numbers are achieved. I was really close my last meet. If I hadn't missed my third bench and deadlift I'd be there. I know I'm capable, I just need to put it all together at the next meet.

@Sworder are you considering giving powerlifting a shot?

It would be cool to have more knowledge about PL and some of the techniques used. I forgot who posted a video on benching but I found it pretty interesting. When you compile good information this densely it feels like a sin not to read it.

Increasing my bench would be a fun project, but my back has a couple bulging discs so deadlifts are a no go for me. :P

The thought of no deadlifts horrifies me. Just this month off because of minor back pain sucked. It wasn't even bad enough it affected my lifts, I'm just paranoid about injuries.

There's a website called "Stronger by Science" by an elite powerlifter named Greg Nuckols that you'd probably find interesting.

He has a pod cast too, kinda dry but a great deal of research backed info.
