MDpwrlifter's Powerlifting/Bodybuilding Log

[mdpwrlifter]

Hey guys, figured I'd keep track of my workouts once again with this log, as I did once before on "another' website. I'm 18 and weigh in the upper 150's, and plan to compete in the IPA and/or IPF for a state record in the 148lb. class. I've been serious about some sort of competition for a while, and figured it's time to get my ass in gear. Until I am of age, I'll be competing in the 18-20 y/o class (Called the junior class, I believe) with hopes of achieving some sort of esteemed total, and possibly achieve record lifts. I've been through a number of training routines since I began weight training (a few years ago) and I've been sporadic with watching calories and assuring I am eating enough. That all, is about to change. I am forcing myself to be consistent with my diet, as well as in the gym. I came across a few good training routines (5/3/1 and Westside Barbell) which I have become very fond of. The chance to increase weight lifted at a light bodyweight gives me a reason to tell all of the "haters" off. But for right now, I haven't done any competition sports in years, and this will be great introduction to get the competitive juices flowing. Enough rambling, here are current stats:

5'8"
~156lbs.
Bench-225
Squat-315
Deadlift-355

**Haven't had a one rep max day in a good while, so this is my best to date**

Daily Caloric Goals- 4000 calories, not too strict on fat and carbs, just want enough protein.

I am on a Westside Barbell routine, utilizing the conjugation method in conjunction with max effort and dynamic effort days. My goal is to break one of the Maryland State records under the IPF and/or IPA, and achieve a 1000+lb total. Let's roll.

haha!! it will. so many variations to every lift, grips / heights / chains / bands. as long as you get stronger at all them, your main 3 lifts will increase

Just think to yourself that it's just a number, because that's honestly all it is. My will cannot be measured with a number! Think of it that way
