Hello Everyone, thanks for following my previous thread and supporting my journey to my first Powerlifting competition. This current Thread will hold my training from March to June. Once june comes I will be starting a new thread for my pre-contest training.

Current stats:
202lbs
Bench: 425lbs +
Squat: 365lbs + (but less than 380lbs)
Deadlift: 435lbs PR

All my lifts above are demonstrated in competition.

For the first few weeks of this thread my lifting will be as follows:
Monday: Legs + Accessory work
Tuesday: rest
Wed: Shoulder Press + Accessory work
Thursday: Rest
Friday: Sumo Deadlift + Accessory work
Saturday: Bench + Accessory work
Sunday: rest

This schedule will be tweaked over time but this is the base of it for now.

Thanks I was thinking of quitting the thread because I don't get many hits or feedback on this forum.

The workouts are in pause after that last one... I pulled a muscle in my groin area slightly so I am taking a few days off... won't hurt me.
