Jswain's training log for powerlifting

SweetLou321 said:
Open with about 80ish lbs less than your planned third. With all the stims and adrenaline kicking I honestly never notice any decrease in my pull as the meet goes. Bench is the one that always takes a hit for me after squatting tho. I leave my pulls all out on the platform. Idgaf about anything else. Idc if I can't walk away from the platform after my third attempt (never risk injury tho).

I should be right about good then.
 
Maybe another way to look at it is that I pull my opener as my final "warmup," really. You don't know how long it's going to be between last pull in the warmup room and when you hit the platform. I've had times where almost 20 minutes went by and I've had 5 minutes. I'm not some excellent deadlifter or anything, but that's just how I do it.
 
Im just gonna go with 510. That way it is around 80ish from my goal and something i'm more than comfortable with pulling. That is my final answer.

Oh just sharing where different tips come from for each person and what works for them. That said I know there are a few guys who layout amazing guidelines for meet attempts. I think TSA has a good one.

I never used the internet to pick meet lifts. Listened to fellow competitors. I've also only missed two pulls in all my meets.

It was a joke lol - there is a ton of terrible misinformation on the web. But the first attempt is last warmup thing has served me well. I only have 2 good pulls in me usually.
 
Just came in an hour early from weigh ins to weigh myself in case i was over. Weight was 217.8lb so now i'll just go through my usual warmup and super D hangs until i can weigh in officially.
 
Official weigh in is 216.2. They moved the scale so thats probably why the difference. Whatever, better for my coefficient.
 
Yes! That's what I got down to in June, but by bedtime I was 230. Now don't screw it up! If you don't get the weight back up you're not gonna do as good as you could.
 
Jasmine rice w lots of soy sauce, honey, fruity or cocoa pebbles, fruits, MSG tenderizer if you have any meat, juice, Gatorade, and remember loading potassium at a 1:1 ratio UP TO 4 GRAMS/day with sodium is proven to continue to increase hydration and intramuscular water retention. And you def wanna max that out and get some subcutaneous spillover too, but potassium in high dose is great with all the salt and water.

Oooh bagels and poptarts while you're in the car and can't eat a sit down meal

Yup I'm at work now about to go down to the cafeteria and eat whatever salty ass food they have down there and whatever else i can get my hands on. Was planning on jasmine rice for dinner already, but will add the soy sauce. After weigh ins I came home had breakfast tacos 6 eggs with veges, black beans, corn all soaked in salty fajita mix.

Didn't know that about the potassium, thanks for that I'll be sure to eat some of the spinach i have in my fridge and maybe stop by jewel for an avocado or two. I've also got some chocolate covered cacao nibs i was planning on eating for dessert but ill just throw them in with a big bowl of cereal.

Edit: Spelled dessert wrong :/. Apparently i'm going to eat a type of ecosystem.
 
$5 at Walmart for around 200 595mg potassium gluconate tabs. They'll serve you well tomorrow too if you can get the time to run by.

I aim for 1000g carbs after I weigh in. Usually put on 10lbs that way.
 
Kleen turned me onto it; put it to the test eating a bunch of potassium tabs the night of a Chinese buffet. I was up over 4lbs in the morning from all the water id drank but I wasn't bloated at all. I was full and looking huge and strong as sh*t at the gym.
 
Damn it. Now i want to go to the chinese buffet. I'll have to keep that in mind for future buffet adventures. I'm just gonna eat as many of the lorna doone snack packs that we give to patients in the ER as i can today. I'll keep a tab. 20g carbs a pop. Im only at 4 packs now, but I've got 5 more hours of work :)
 
Buffets are gross.
 
If i go over 4g of both sodium and potassium does that change anything? Just based on where i am with my breakfast, the cookies i just ate and what i plan for dinner (without soy sauce) im at 570 carb, 3.2g NA and 3.4g K.

That's without whatever i find down in the caf here at the hospital and whatever i decide to have for dessert.

Pancakes lots of pancakes

️I should've thought of that this morning. Maybe ill have some tomorrow morning 3-4 hours before lifting starts (10am central).
 
You can go over I just know the human experiment with healthy lifting men proved at least 4g was effective provided it was taken at a 1:1 ratio w/ sodium and enough water intake. I'm sure amount of muscle mass will come into play. I'd just keep going 600mg and a meal at a time every 90 min or so and really watch your body w/ your shirt off in the same room same lighting if you're home this evening. When you start to spill over into subcutaneous bloat you've probably peaked. Just understand you can def have too much potassium and risk a heartattack so steady, calculated progressions are ideal. And if you get to a point where you're unsure just keep eating food and sodium and screw the potassium. You'll be fine.

Pancakes are an awesome idea; I always forget them. Sugar syrup and cake w/ little fat. So perfect.

Says if u want to bench big weights eat pancakes before hand so I'd imagine it would be great pre-meet. I know they digest fast as hell

Thanks. I just picked up the potassium gluconatw tabs and some soy sauce. I'll probably only take around 500mg of the k gluconate with my meal. I should be around 4500 k and 6000 sodium once dinner is taken down. Will be around 4700 kcal and 690 carbs before dessert.

Yeah, pancakes with cacao nibs and banana will be had in the morning.

Yup. I do much better with fast digesting carbs. Jasmine rice, cream of rice, bagels, pancakes, etc. Oats, brown rice and other slow digesting carbs tend to make me lethargic as fck. Oats worse than anything else.
 
Any chance you guys are watching this astros rangers game? This official scorer is terrible.
 
Excited for you and for the meet man. Maybe I'm excited for the food you're going to eat.

I dunno, just kill it. Food, lifts, whatever.
 
Meet day. Kill it bud. Stay focused and confident don't doubt you attempts or yourself. Be selfish in the warmup room and get them in. If you have a handler tell them what you need and tell them to get it done.
 
Do i say kill it a lot or something? All 3 of you said kill it. Lol. Its go time fellas.
 
Rules meeting at 930 skwats at 10.
