Welcome man, glad to have you! Thanks haha. You'll enjoy 5-3-1 very solid intermediate program to transfer towards more advanced numbers. IMO good for advanced as well if my deadlift is any thing to go by.
 
Double post

Yes about an hour East., OP yeah I might see you at that meet in 2014. If I'm 40 minutes from you maybe we can meet up to train sometime.

I'm not from dirty jersey brother. I do get in for free however, yet they make me pay to leave unless I sneak out if a tiny little bridge over the Delaware river ;)

Just like my man George Washington no?
 
We we prob could. What gym do you train at?

Yes sir lots of PA/ east coast guys. I have a lot of strongman buddies in NY/NJ.

Not sure. They have a gym called HURT, one guy is a national competitor and stuff. I guess he has met/knows some guys from JTS/Lilly? I can't remember what he said specifically when we were talking about the cube last year. Other guy I talk to is just getting back into it. Met them through a mutual friend (through offroading/jeeps), but we basically BS about lifting stuff now. Might be going up there for the 4th of July this year to chill, wheel, lift, whatever. Where you at in NJ? I know they aren't too far.

He is messing around. I'm in PA...I am just really close to jersey in PA so I have had some jobs there in the past.
 
I got ya. You two should do the meet in Lancaster next year.
 
I dunno. RPS meet. look it up. I can't remember specifics at the moment.
 
I think so too. So I just can't deadlift too much? ;)

lol It goes by total. You'll see a buncha big pullers there. At my meet, the 4th flight was 550+ openers. RPS was definetly a well run meet. It'll be fun

Amateur will be randomly tested, but doubt they even would. Amateur Elite,pro total, is drug tested I think, otherwise they just say pro. You don't HAVE to get drug tested. Only if you want to be considered Elite in RPS.
 
Thanks Sean, I knew you would know haha. I was mostly just joking about it haha. I see PRO is 1400 for 181 and 1475 for 198. But not sure what those numbers correspond with? Like the level to be in those classes or the limit.
 
Sean1332 said:
No card. Just pay for the meet. 80-90 bucks for a division, 30 bucks me to carry over into a second division. Got a free tshirt lol
Click to expand...

Wow, that's pretty sweet. I spent 50 bucks on a card for a year, 100 for the meet, and bought my own t shirt. Absolutely no complaints about how it was run or equipment...but pricey in comparison. Got a t-shirt bc it has all the lifters names. Got a nice trophy too so I guess it all costs.

I gotta try RPS in the future.

What do you mean? If you enter amateur open at 181, and you total 1400 then you are either entered automatically into the Pro class (untested)-which will be different (much bigger) records OR you can pay for a drug tested to be considered Amateur Elite.
 
Okay that makes sense. Remember I'm wet behind the ears on this stuff!

You and smoker should plan to do that one in feb w/ me. It's my only shot to hit a meet before I enter the Junior Age group/set records in 18-19 hahaha. Which is super doable. Because the only record at all is a 315 bench lol.

Well I'll have to see where the money situation and all that gravy is in February, but I would definitely be interested in sometime in the new year. Would be cool.

Dude, your RICHard....

I'm down for a feb meet no question
 
Yeah Rob don't be a pansy, make smoker drive you+ pay for gas, and it's like 85 for the meet. Put 30 away every month for the next 3 and you'll be set. easy.

Just cause I drive real fast doesn't mean I'm a bad driver. You drive like a parent bro, it's embarrassing. When you gonna get a mini van and just permanently stop using turn signals?
 
Send me the link for that Feb. Meet.
 
You guys crack me up.

So...

What do I wear to this meet? No singlet required. I'm gona wear shorts obviously... And sweats for warmups. Under armor, t shirt, cut off, singlet underneath my shorts, shirtless?!?!?! I don't know.

Also I need to iron out my attempts more. I mean at this point anything is a PR. should I go for a personal training PR or just match my current PRs to get them on the board.
 
There's no reason to go into an unsanctioned meet to get your name on a board, only to tie gym PRs. That's a waste of time. Go all out. Always go all out. Never once should you ever do a meet, and wonder if you should go for a PR or not
 
Maybe set it up like

Something you can triple
Current gym pr or close to it
A new pr dependent on how the bar speed is and how you feel

You're absolutely right, that's what I was thinking.

Okay that makes sense.


That would be -

Dead- 500, 550, 575/585 depending on how I feel
Bench- 285, 315, 320 unless I felt amazing.

Play by ear 3rd attempts, but have a number in your head. You can normally change your openers before they begin the lifts. Those seem good though.
 
I feel like this is gona be pretty laid back/small, as it's a charity event and all. But yeah, I should be fine w/ those openers. I just need to make sure I warm up good for them. Probably up to 265 on bench for a single. Not worried about it. DL.... yeah. I think do plates up to 405, then 455 single, then hit 500.
 
I've made a habit of warming up quick.

Bar x12
135x8
225x5
315x3
405x2
485x1
535 Opener
585 Second
600 Third

Bench I did
Bar x10
135x8
155x3
185x2
225x1
285 Opener
300 Second
315 Failed third
 
That's along the lines of what I do/want to do. I have a guy I have trained w/ coming to watch/help me warm up and help if they need it. My biggest worry at this point is grip, I haven't been able to train w/ normal bars just these crappy ones at school for a while now. Here's to hoping they have quality normal sized bars.

If you've trained on crappy bars, then anything else will be better
 
Got the app for the meet. Awesome! AMVETS, I'm a military Vet. What type of awards they give out? In planning on making this one.
