Sean's Powerlifting Journey

Tempted to try and kneeling jump squat... Probably be banished from my gym.

You can always do it without the barbell. I jump better with the barbell for some reason though.

There's nothing badass about jumping without the BB. Then it's just cardio. lol
 
That's a real shame. Sounds like he didn't take enough breaks from the sauna. Might have been too much diuretic though. So many things that can go wrong. This happens more often than many realize.
 
Deadlift

4" Conv Block Pull
415x7x6
Invalid Link Removed

2" Def SLDL/Leg Press/Lat Pulldown
325x8/4pps x3x15/145x3x8
345x8
365x8

I had to rush this session. 45 minutes. I'm out of breath.
 
Nice pulling work there dude. Yeah a guy I work with has a kid that almost died trying to cut water. Was in the hospital for a while. Gotta be careful with that stuff.
 
Bench
2-Board
205x4x8
-Board, +Slingshot
205x3x8

Front Raise/Lateral Raise/Chest Sup. Row

Seated Cable Facepull
55x3x15

Seated Alternating DB Curl
25x5x12

Tricep Cable Ext
85x15
100x15
115x15
130x15
145x15 Full body movement lol
 
Didn't realize you were getting so many reps in. That's good stuff.
 
Cambered Bar Squat
395x7x6

Leg Press/GHR
4ppsx3x15/BWx3x15

Yet another rushed session. Lackluster assistance but the squats were enough for me. **** that bar. My hips swim way too much with it. I catch myself using the swing of it as leverage. There's no other way I could hold the bar confidently and it displeases my AC joint. No more. Good Mornings only with it.
 
So here was my block. I still have next week to go then I'll figure out a strength block.

60x4x10
62.5x5x8
65x7x6 (or 6x7)
67.5x Beat last weeks volume somehow, no less than 6reps/set
Deload
62.5x4x10
65x5x8
67.5x7x6 (or 6x7)
70x Beat last weeks volume somehow, no less than 6reps/set
Deload
 
So after forcing peanut butter down my throat, I still have 500cals left. I don't like these night sessions. Do calories work like rollover minutes?

Serious question lol

I'm sure it'll be similar. I'm just worried about peaking/taper after the next block. I'll worry about that later.

I'd be a hypocrite if I said think about one block at a time (because I religiously plan everything). But I think it's usually for the best.

You're right. As much as I like competing, I absolutely despise planning/prepping it. I constantly worry: missing my third attempt squat, knowing I can't bench, and having a pûssy meet deadlift lol

Continue with the rehab and you will bench soon enough.

Make the peak harder then the meet and you won't worry about your third attempt. (Very tough overreach/taper).

Squat before you pull during strength/peaking so those blocks will prepare you to pull your biggest numbers fatigued after squat and bench come meet day.

I like that. Maybe I'll do a squat/deadlift day and the other day just be assistance and squat variant.
 
You could look at your calorie total for a week and eat that way, instead of daily. Obviously don't under eat 1k daily for 6 days then eat 10k day on a Sunday. If you under eat 500kcal one day eat it the next and move on.

Essentially a refeed.. If you're looking at calorie allotment for a week..

Lol. There's no wrong way to eat a Reese's, brother. Btw he is probably the biggest dude I've ever seen. Not as heavy as some, but he's literally a head taller than everyone at a powerlifting meet.

I like how he tore his bicep and then benched 405 right after with speed.

**** I need to up my effort level.

What percent is that? What your training max? I believe we have a similar comp pull too.

Since conv is my opposite stance and it's off blocks, I had no idea what to use. I used 600-610. This week was 70% of 610. The first set felt like a wall. 2-3 minute rest kept me from getting too relaxed.

These past 10 weeks, outside of high intensity meet prep, has been my most challenging training to date, and it was hard stay honest with myself, thinking "maybe I'll just skip the last set".

Unreal pulling. I don't think I could mimic that effort at 70% right now. Good on you man.
