Sean's Powerlifting Journey

I'll buy a pair or two from Duluth trading. They're for men. I prefer shorts though until there's a foot of snow

Jim, your in Texas. You better not ever own jeans!

Bleh. There's more experienced guys in this thread in regards to cutting water whom I hope respond.

You remember I failed my weighin by a full pound right? lol

How much do you need to drop? It's pretty easy. I just didn't drink enough.
 
I need 8 pounds so I have some comfort room I'm 186 now according to robs scale. 185 at my gyms. .

Cutting weight for your first comp is stupid.


I intended to compete 181 my first meet too, weighed in at 186, hit a bunch of PRs as a 198, and zero ****s were given about missing weight.


Are you planning to set state and national records as a 181? If not, why worry about cutting weight?

Well it doesn't take a genious to know I'm no where close to any sort of record. I've set my mind to that weight class and I'm not far off at all, so why not? Drop some water, weigh in and all goes well, eat my ass off that night and the next morning and then do my thing. I don't see it really affecting me my number at the end of the day
 
Grapplearts covered what I do, should keep that article so I don't have to type it up every time.

I cannot agree with this more. It's your first meet. Your only focus should be to total and not your weight.

Jimbo speaketh the troof.

Cutting weight for anything less than a national or world record is stoopid...
 
Good article. I was thinking along these lines for my own training. Stick with Cube Kingpin, but just recycle Wave 1 over and over again with 5lb increases in each main lift until it's meet time, then when I decide where and when I'm competing, dive into waves 2 and 3.

I like that. The first 3 weeks were the hardest for that reason too. 5lb increases like you say and varying rep schemes. Then get strong. Then peak.

Oh my god, 3x12 on rep day, 5x2 on heavy day, 8x3 on speed day, it's all there. It's like a three week accumulation block. Stack a few of those together and you'll build a nice base. That's where it's at. Gotta have a solid base to move up in weight.

I wonder what an inverted rep day would be like, 12x3. I'm thinking maybe a minute or so rest between sets.
