Perrin Aybara's Journey to an Elite Powerlifting Total

Sounds like a hell a night to me man. Your strength may continue to climb just keep at. I know I'm bouncing and still getting to where I was I but I'm making leaps and bounds. Almost to the point I thinking of backing off just make sure nothing happens with my hamstring again.
 
Weight was 216lbs

Reverse Pec Deck Fly 3x20 with 150lbs

Incline Barbell Bench 285x5, 295x5 and 305x5 (all PRs, last set was a little rough)

Dumbbell Lateral Raise 3x20 with 15lbs

Beltless high bar squat 385x5, 395x5 and 405x5 (all time squat PR of any kind of squat, I'd have to look, but i think my old low bar with belt 5RM was like 370)

Weighted Chin-up 321lbs total (216 + 105) for 5, then 3, then bodyweight for 15 (bit off more than i could chew here, thought i could get 3x5 with +105 and it just wasn't happening)

Vid of incline bench and squats



Got a vid of the first set of weighted chin ups, but i didn't think about my face being visible in the mirror. If anyone wants to see it I'll show it privately, it's nothing special though.

So my cycle ends tomorrow. I've been back to a cruise dose of 150mg of test cyp almost two weeks now, dropping the tren tomorrow. Probably going to change my hgh protocol as well, although I'm not sure how yet.


DAMN!!! I cant even get 405 for one rep , and you squat it like it aint nuttin. I feel weak now[emoji20]
 
@Perrin Aybara --405x5 squat is solid . Good job ...:cool:

Thanks. It's been a pretty productive cycle. I'm happy with it and looking forward to the next one.

I think what I'll do is reintroduce the belt next week so I can hopefully continue to increase weight each 1 1/2 week training cycle and then switch back to low bar with a belt like in a month to keep it going further. For bench I'll start flat benching on my heavy day, i think. Deadlift I'll start back up either next month or December. I want to slowly transition back to comp lifts before resuming normal off season training in January.

I'd really like to hit 495 in sleeves on this cruise. Bench I'd like to see 385. Deadlift if I can still hit 600 I'll be happy. Well, I doubt I actually max again until next meet, so i guess what I'm looking for is like 475x3 squat in sleeves, 365x3 bench and 585x3 deadlift on this cruise. We'll see how it goes.

This was the first time I'd ever squatted 405 for more than one without knee wraps. Crazy it was high bar and without a belt.
 
Very nice work. I'm seeing your chest cave a bit it looks like and it's causing your low back to cave a hair before you get to the top. Try cuing yourself to keep that chest up. Nice job though
 
I still don't understand how you're gaining this kind of strength on this program lol.

Nice work.

Good program design plus new movement gains plus first time on tren plus being in a calorie surplus after a long cut maybe? That's what I've been thinking.

Thanks. High bar is still a bit weird for me, I think I try to make it sort of low bar sometimes. I'll try that though.


lol.

Been at a cruise dose almost two weeks now. Gonna chill a little on the eating and clean up the diet a little moving forward. Just focus on getting stronger and maintaining this weight. Got a few ideas on training I'll post up soon.

Back lookin wide. You planning on competing at 198 again?
 
So I think I'm going to go for a 400lbs total weight weighted chin up before the year is over. I guess I need some kind of strength goal all the time apparently. Haven't done any arm work in a couple weeks now, just can't stay motivated for it. Anyway, the 321x5 the other day puts my protected max at 360lbs, so that'll be 5lbs a week until the end of the year to hit 400lbs.

Got to 310. Couldnt get anymore out of it and ended my cycle. Im still hitting it hard though. Lost a little strength and weight since then but looking forward to next run. Im going to go a lot harder next time.

Keep pushing post cycle, it's not impossible to keep getting stronger. Believe me I'll be trying during this cruise.
