Fvcking awesome, man. You said you were a powerlifter - mind sharing what your training/diet was then?
Yeah bro, when i was powerlifting i usually did a 3 or 4 day split, depending on my phase of training. When preparing for a meet, it was strictly 3 days. Bench on tuesday, back thursday, then squats/deadlift on sunday. I usually did very low volume, very low reps. When not preparing for a particular meet, i would do squats/deads on sunday, then i'd do chest on tuesday, then arms/shoulders on thursday, and back on friday. Still kept reps loww. usually in the 2-6 range, utilizing different types of board presses, floor presses, etc.
While powerlifting my diet was pretty simple. I ate a lot. I would usually eat primarily clean foods high in protein, and high in good carbs, and have one "****" meal per day... so i'd have like a chicken parm sub, or a few pieces of pizza, or something like that just to get in extra calories... this would usually be about 2 hours prior to training. I put on the most quality mass during these times.
Physiquewise, i was thick as ****... but kinda bloated. I definately had a bit of a "power gut". Heres a shot of me at 247 when i was in my 4 day split powerlifting phase... i believe i just turned 18 in this picture.
