Sean's Powerlifting Journey

[Sean1332]

Sweat pant life for him I bet

I want that to be my life.

 

[herderdude]

I want that to be my life.

You're a 600lb squatter. It fücking should be your life.

 

[Sean1332]

You're a 600lb squatter. It fücking should be your life.

If it makes you feel better, I'm in New England and don't have pants that fit

I guess I need to fix that. It's December.

 

[supermanjow]

At my current weight I'm still wearing 34" waist jeans. It's damn hard to find a pair that fits.

Yeah, my upper body isn't as big as yours, but with 26-27" legs depending on bodyweight, it's as much a curse as a gift.

 

[jimbuick]

Hell, I can't even find pants that fit.

 

[Sean1332]

I'll buy a pair or two from Duluth trading. They're for men. I prefer shorts though until there's a foot of snow

Jim, your in Texas. You better not ever own jeans!

You've never poured concrete (or any other construction job) before have you?

I used to own so many jeans lol. (too bad none of them fit anymore)

 

[supermanjow]

They're so damn expensive though!

 

[smoker145]

Rob wears jeans in the summer. Idk what he has against shorts

 

[Sean1332]

Will be squatting in the Adidas I ordered, Friday. Hopefully they fit better than the shoes I have now.

Fücking sales

Duluth Trading pants pretty nice?

Yup. They'll fit us big thighs

Used to build decks. Now I'm forced to wear pants at work. Lame (unless I'm training-in Para's pic)

Sean can you help me with water weight

 

[Sean1332]

Sean can you help me with water weight

Bleh. There's more experienced guys in this thread in regards to cutting water whom I hope respond.

You remember I failed my weighin by a full pound right? lol

How much do you need to drop? It's pretty easy. I just didn't drink enough.

I need 8 pounds so I have some comfort room I'm 186 now according to robs scale. 185 at my gyms. .

 

[smoker145]

And you dropped mad pounds lol I was impressed

 

[Rodja]

Look up the cutting weight article by grapple arts. It's for MMA, but the principle apply to all water weight cutting.

Screw comfort room. Don't lose more than you need.

The article that Rodja mentioned, is posted on the previous page. It's well worth the read.

Epsom salt bath/sauna will help for last minute too.

Was gonna tag you, Rodja, and Herder but figured you would sense someone needing your mastermind.

 

[smoker145]

Damn, mad heads to the rescue.

Thanks fellas . Fast read the article and looks good.

And Sean I hear ya about comfort room, but as my mom says. " I'm a worry wort" and I don't wanna miss it but a little

Cutting weight for your first comp is stupid.


I intended to compete 181 my first meet too, weighed in at 186, hit a bunch of PRs as a 198, and zero ****s were given about missing weight.


Are you planning to set state and national records as a 181? If not, why worry about cutting weight?

Well it doesn't take a genious to know I'm no where close to any sort of record. I've set my mind to that weight class and I'm not far off at all, so why not? Drop some water, weigh in and all goes well, eat my ass off that night and the next morning and then do my thing. I don't see it really affecting me my number at the end of the day

You spell genius wrong on purpose there, ya know, for the irony?

It was an ironic mistake. I state my regret

Haha I really wasn't sure. Are u a whizerd?

Grapplearts covered what I do, should keep that article so I don't have to type it up every time.

I cannot agree with this more. It's your first meet. Your only focus should be to total and not your weight.

Doing great Sean. How's the bench coming along? Getting more comfortable with it?

Bench is coming along decently. May get a video of it tomorrow. My shoulders are hit or miss. Left is impinged, though it's much better now.

 

[PumpHouse]

Great stuff man, I've pretty much done every single thing in those books you recommended. Feels pretty great to e able to move again haha.

Jimbo speaketh the troof.

Cutting weight for anything less than a national or world record is stoopid...

What if you are cutting weight for da ladies?

 

[Rodja]

What if you are cutting weight for da ladies?

Then you should pick a different sport. That's not to say you should be fat, but there are definite merits to holding extra BF and bloat.

Good read. Well thought out. Very non-specific but enough to get in the right direction.

 

[herderdude]

Good article. I was thinking along these lines for my own training. Stick with Cube Kingpin, but just recycle Wave 1 over and over again with 5lb increases in each main lift until it's meet time, then when I decide where and when I'm competing, dive into waves 2 and 3.

 

[napalm]

I need me a hypertrophy phase, it might be time to revisit the vault...

I like that. The first 3 weeks were the hardest for that reason too. 5lb increases like you say and varying rep schemes. Then get strong. Then peak.

Oh my god, 3x12 on rep day, 5x2 on heavy day, 8x3 on speed day, it's all there. It's like a three week accumulation block. Stack a few of those together and you'll build a nice base. That's where it's at. Gotta have a solid base to move up in weight.

I wonder what an inverted rep day would be like, 12x3. I'm thinking maybe a minute or so rest between sets.

Sets x reps format, yes?
