Dan Luckett Powerlifting Journal

[DanLuckett]

Hi all, New to this forum. A little about myself, I compete in the GPC and am 2012 British powerlifting champion at 125 open at 24yr. This year squatted an equipped British record in briefs of 327.5kgs which was an all time PB for me. Hopefully next year I can build on that as well as bench 200 with is a big targer for me.

Saturday 6/10/12
upper body assistance (all in kgs)

Floor press against dbl mini band
bar x 10 x 2 sets
60 x 10 x 2 sets
80 x 10 x 2 sets
100 x 8
Top set
120 x 8 x 4 sets (Stayed controlled with legs flat and made sure I was pressing hard with my triceps)

High incline db press
40 x 10 x 4 sets

Rope / mini band / straight bar pushdowns
30 / 30 / 30 x 2 sets

Good solid session for the day. Nothing major or exciting but does the job

Welcome Dan, training and numbers look great.

I'm looking to move across to the GPC this year myself since being more West Midands based. So might see you around!

Thanks everyone. Glad to be amoungst like minded people.

Fazc - Numbers are ok but not good enough to be a top 125kg lifter really. Plenty more year to come mind you.

Awesome Its a good federation to lift in as its run by lifters for lifters. Solid and fair judging but not too strict. It will be good to have you on board.

Hi! Dan! Welcome to MaB!

Burn this within you. Stay hungry, baby! ALL THE TIME......IT WILL PAY OFF! You cannot be stopped. No one can enter your fitness armor. No one can penetrate your fitness defenses as you have the personal offenses.

You are the battle plan. As you are the master of yourself. And, cannot be stopped.

Peace and Harmony to you...

Don

Squat and Deadlift

Squat
bar x 10
60 x 10
100 x 10
140 x 10
Add wraps + Belt
160 x 5
180 x 5
200 x 5
(taking my time with lighter weights making sure im squatting correctly and powerfully)

18" Deadlifts
100 x 3
140 x 3
180 x 3
220 x 3
260 x 1
(good strong pull and a good starting point but needs some serious work)

Stiff Leg Deadlifts
60 x 5
100 x 5
140 x 5
180 x 5
200 x 5

Finished. Happy with this day. Not big numbers for me but its a great start. Best stiff leg is 250 x 1 and 18" is 300 x 1 as its just below my sticking point. Both these numbers I think can be beaten by next year easily.
