Damn…what a week.
Hosted the NORTHWEST POWERLIFTING CHAMPIONSHIPS at my gym last week. I’m quite happy with how it went, but as always a bunch of work went into it. I did get a couple workouts in prior to being overtaken with meet prep work.
Bench
Warmup then
405x6,5,4
And some assistance work I can’ remember
Squat
Warmup then (in briefs, no wraps)
735x4
755x2
YouTube- Squat 735
I dropped quite a bit of weight in the days leading to the meet just due to activity level, sleep(lack), and food (lack). Decided to jump in with the Deadlift only on Saturday night and didn’t go to well.
Deadlift
Smoked 705 opener
Lost grip on second attempt going for 767.
Skipped third attempt as I had to get ready to present awards.
Bench on Saturday Morning Bench only meet.
Shirt was way loose due to weight loss and almost touched with 505.
Bench
639 opener
672 second for a picture perfect lift
705 third missed this one as my right elbow just didn’t spin quite all the way to lock and they finally called the rack command. As close as it possibly comes without getting it.
As for diet and body comp. things are going amazingly well and I must say I’m enjoying the Warrior diet and the results I’m seeing. For the most part (outside last couple days) my weight is staying the exact same but I am leaning out at a slow steady pace. And its starting to really show. I will have to provide an update soon.
