Sean's Powerlifting Journey

The thing that doesn't make sense to me, is that it puts me eating at 2600ish calories every day the next month or so. Seems low.

But, the days are much much better explained now!

Ya that doesn't make sense to me either. :(
 
Hey bolt10 if I wanted to move more into weightloss zone should I just take calories from the high days or both or possibly just add in some HIIT cardio?
 
Couple things:
1) I'd add some cardio if it doesn't decrease your ability to recover
2) If not, I'd drop some fats from the high days first (because those low days are already a pain haha)

Seems like the opossite time to be dipping down in calories is during the peak. I understand not needing 450g of carbs or close to 4,000 cal just to hit a heavy double and some lunges.

Unless maybe that 2600 really is my TDEE....but then again, any sort of workout despite volume/intensity is just going to subtract from that.

I may try an even 3,000....meet in between light and moderate and see how the scale fairs.

Slingshot Cuffs...how did you guys size them? The squat bar is finally getting to me. Should I measure from my bicep/elbow/or forearm? That whole region can tend to flare up.
 
I'd probably go with Moderate regardless and only dip to Light if you need to drop weight or are gaining and don't want to.
 
I forget exactly, but I remember looking at the chart, measuring the largest part of the the area I wanna cover, and airing in the small end if you land in the middle of two sides.

Going blue or red?

Thank ya.

Blue. I don't feel like ****ing around with pullin something too tight up my arm.

It's almost go-time for us papa's, huh? I'll have #2 delivered within the next 3 weeks here.

No problem. I didn't do like "drop two sizes" or any of that **** bc by the time I am getting to top sets you have to keep in mind blood flow makes it tighter.


That's awesome! Damn, all three of us are close(including Rodja). We are due Monday at the latest. Crazyness

Good luck!

I measured 13-14" at the upper forearm. So should I go 13 or 10? Those are the only close options. ****

****...if it's closer to 14 with zero pump then 13 would definitely be fine. If it's like 13 I'd think 10....

I hate how you have to do so much research before buying powerlifting gear :(

Still, my desired bar speed was there and it was a +1 easy rep PR.
