USAP req.'s

[drummaboyzl]

So for my class I need to total 1135 without gaining more than 15 lbs body weight.

Bench max:2x5 185
Squat max:3x5 360
Deadlift:?

help on determining my 1 rep maxes for those? well the Bench and Squat at least? I will find out deadlift 5 rep max tomorow.


*anyone live in 77573 area code? lol i need a WO buddy to spot so i can find these out

Why not just test out your 1RM?

[drummaboyzl]

don't have a spotter anymore since austin went to aTm...i'll see what i can do.

oh and question. do you think its more likely to stay between 181 and 198 and get 1135 totals
or
drop to 165-181 and get 1065 totals?

[Inarius]

you could always ask for a spot...

[drummaboyzl]

without knowing much more, i'd guess 225 on the bench, 440 on squat- that would mean you'd need a (1135 - 665)= 475 DL. if you dropped a weight class you'd gain 70lbs on your total, but that has its own considerations, like cutting effectively, retaining strength, making weight... and given you are nursing a hurt back... how far away is your meet, and what did get on you 5RM DL?

[drummaboyzl]

i haven't done DL's in at least 2 months....i know. my bad.
but i could put 185 up with ease....jsut never really cared for it.
leg day today....see if i cant put some weight up again (test the back out)

March 14, 2009 is the one i'm going to enter.

I would hope you could deadlift 185 if you can squat over 300

you are testing a hormonal supp right? t911?
Im pretty sure its banned

[drummaboyzl]

....5 months away bro. you really think it would still be in my system? lol

....5 months away bro. you really think it would still be in my system? lol

its on you man but you have to agree to the ethics agreement of lifting in a regulated division.

[drummaboyzl]

well i'll assess it at that time....i'm taking a natty test booster so i wouldn't consider it like a PH like roids or anything.
however i'm not going to lie when i sign it so if i have broken the agreement then i won't compete

[thaOrleanyte]

your gonna get owned with those #s

[drummaboyzl]

5 months.

[thaOrleanyte]

if 185 is your dl but your squatting in the 4's your technique has probly gone horribly wrong. Im no elite by any sense of the word, but i can DL in the low 4's and my squat relitively sucks. Deads are a simple lift but technical in thier own right.

[thaOrleanyte]

1100 totals are pretty high when your only benching low 2's too. I'd focus on bench more (see where your are DLing also) and try to boost that in order for you too reach your goals, so your not stuck having to rely on your squat to carry all your totals

[drummaboyzl]

275 DL btw


*genetically my chest is lacking and i am working on it.

[thaOrleanyte]

guys in WABDL in teens (18-19) were puttin up mids 3's bench and mid 5's DL. Thats serious competition. But the way i look at it, you've got a goal and something to work forward too. You can only get better dood

[metroba]

Wait you deadlift 185? or 275?
