Perrin Aybara's Journey to an Elite Powerlifting Total

[MindlessWork]

You sure came a long-ass way these past years and everything is now falling into place for you Perrin. Keep the momentum going!

I have onee about 1 hr and 20 minutes 1 way from my house... not worth the travel but if I ever moved there thats my new gym lol

I have one about that far too but I have a family and rarely have time for the actual gym since they cut off childcare. I have a barbell set, a squat stand, and a crappy bench I got at Walmart!

And it works, I set up my own home gym and not really looking back at a commercial gym. I will say I miss the atmosphere though...and additional equipment to utilize

Bench 315x3, 345x3, 335x3, 335x3, 335x3

Front squat 255x4x5

OHP 175x4x3

345x3 was around RPE 8.5, so dropped to 335lbs for the rest of my sets. Oddly they got easier the more sets I did, so maybe should've just stuck with 345lbs

Bench is funny like that for me too

It feels slow and shitty, but really this is the best my bench has been just on 150mg of test for months on end. I'm caffeine free at the moment too.

Sumo deadlift
545x1, 585x1, 610x1 @RPE6ish
560x4x3

Slingshot bench
325x5x5



Pretty excited about how easy 610lbs felt today considering this is the first time I've pulled sumo from the floor in months and the most I've pulled from the floor since the injury last year.

Good to see you pulling Sumo comfortably again

How did it feel?

Easy and no pain. Probably need to get my hip mobility back up and I started with my hips too high. Overall good though.

Looks like it would take about 50 more lbs before it got very challenging

 

[Silentlemon1011]

Yeah, that went up crazy easy.
No sign of struggle lol

I think I could still pull at least mid 600's right now. Crazy after so much time off.

Besides sumo deadlift everything feels shitty lately.

That seems to be the case I'm finding lol.
One thing is feeling amazing.. but everything else sucks.
For me, I've stalled on my bench, (it just feels like crap) but just hit a crazy PR on squats.

Why cant we just progress with everything!!!!!
Fuck lol

Also, it was @Worf and your advice that got me there.
I stopped volume on legs
Just hitting sets of 3,
Did an AMRAP yesterday and blew my fucking PR out of the water on reps

That's the dream. Unless you're John Haack it doesn't seem to be the reality.

I'm not convinced guys like John Haack or Jamal Browner are even humans to be honest
