I think in terms of log layout what matters most is that its meaningful for you if you need or want to come back and reflect on it down the road to grab good info. the big thing that stands out...
Man, it sounds like you had an awesome meet. Congrats on hitting all of your target weights. Looking at these I feel you had a little more on the squat, maybe another 5-10lbs on bench, and easily...
On the one hand, I have found the old saying "when God closes a door he opens a window" to be insanely true. I remember praying with my ex when I was like 22yrs old, wanting a farm of my own one...
Sorry you didn’t get the job….another door and opportunity will open up. Focusing on family and personal goals is the best thing you can do at this time of year.
Dang man, sorry to hear that you didn’t land the position. Sounds like you are going to be winding down for the year and yeah holidays and family time and definitely personal goals!
Another AM, another day up and at it. Just some short cardio today, 25:20 mins on the stationary bike, 111 cals. Used a little Raze energy shot + XPG Napalm Xtreme pre-WO.
Found out yesterday I...
Another great thing about this meet is that you basically have great values for training maxes if you use percentage ranges at all guide your next block of training. You can just program off...
Congrats man. We all knew it (and more) was in there looking at the logs.
Hope you keep hitting the powerlifting work hard even if you add your BB stuff back in .
Yeah, a lot of this I think was based on what I had in my head coming in. Basically for bench I was thinking top set of between 195-205 if things went well, but I ended up splitting the...
Congratulations on a great first meet! I’m glad to hear it was such a positive experience; I expected it would be. I also think you made good decisions for openers and throughout. You have the...
I'm now officially insulted. Your top sets look like my 50% warm-up weights in terms of speed and power. I'm not sure how these could possibly be your legit 1RM, you are underselling yourself by a...
All 3 look good, definitely had more in you on squat and deadlift for sure, bench maybe 205-210. Solid work brother! Awesome to see this come together!
Yeah, I mean historically I also know I've been capable of much more, including close to 300# DL? I can't recall specifics, but it's in this log. But that was a different time. Similarly, squat...
Thank you, I really did.
You know, that's exactly the thing my wife (who has no interest in working out or fitness stuff like this in general) commented on afterwards!
She thought it was...
That's awesome man, loved reading about your day! Without watching you lift, but reading your log over the years, I would have agreed with the judges just off instinct that you likely already have...
Congrats on the meet. Sounds like you had a really great times/ experience and family was there to cheer you on. One thing I have always loved about powerlifting meets is everyone cheers for...
OK fellas, my first meet is officially in the books! It was Saturday AM for those asking.
Bit of a walk through before the good stuff (#s):
Weigh ins were called for 8:30, so I was up at 7 and...
Had to move up a day as Wednesday will be traveling for the concert with the wife.

If you questioned possibly going lower on the spotos you might as well do it and see how that goes. Sounds like they were a little more work than you originally expected.
That’s some good work though, even though you think you didn’t get that much volume. That 270x5 followed by the 5x5 on Spotos and 5x5 on paused bench is some good strong work for bench. I like...
