Perrin Aybara's Journey to an Elite Powerlifting Total

[Brandaddy]

425lbs bench and 675lbs deadlift would actually be small meet PRs, just not gym PRs. It's not a sanctioned meet anyway though. I just want to step on a platform this year.

Same here. Should technically squeak out small meet PRs, but it's just not the same when you've lifted more in the gym before.

By the way, that's actually a little side goal I have is an 1,100lbs push/pull. 1,200 would be cooler though. Ha.

Mine too. Came up just a little shy at that push pull meet I did a couple years ago. Going by gym lifts I'm at 1140lbs.

You could probably hit 1,200 next year if everything works out good and you bulk up to 242.

@Perrin Aybara your 2nd and third attempts are based on feeling ?

@Perrin Aybara your 2nd and third attempts are based on feeling ?

Usually just my third.

First is something I can hit 3-4 reps with
Second is something I can hit for a double
Third usually a PR and go by feel of the second

I usually have a general idea months in advance what I want my attempts to be and work towards that. Of course you never really know how you'll feel on meet day though.

Glad to be back repping 600+ on deadlift easily. Squat and bench are feeling fairly strong lately. Gonna have to cap up this var and put it with my other supplements because I'm missing a lot of doses. Very busy with work lately and keep forgetting.

 

[Perrin Aybara]

Here's the 600x3 from yesterday. I think I could have done at least 3 more reps and my best ever with 600lbs was 600x7 last year.

Awesome progress to say the least, considering all the setbacks you had over the last year or so. How's the hip this time?

All good so far with moderately heavy weights. Looking for a 650ish single next week before hitting some volume so I have an idea where I'll be at the comp. Should be RPE 8-9 on that to be on track.

Top doubles from yesterday with 465x2 high bar squat and 385x2 bench. Pretty happy with both. Closing in on 500+ high bar and back in 405+ territory on bench.

REEBOOOKKKS?? cmon perrin

Otherwise, amazing as always ! I guess you can do 600 lbs low bar easily can't you?

I am doing BB 3 times a week with a moderate volume and high int (min 80%) and still stuck in 375lbs. What helped you the most for your BB?

I doubt that much on low bar. In the past only I've been about 5% stronger on low bar than high bar.

3-4x a week frequency, high volume, and low intensity helps my bench the most. I'm trying out a higher intensity with more accessories approach currently to see if it works.

Got a good deal on the shoes.
