Powerlifting - Preparing For Midwest Classic 2013

[BigManBigLiftin]

Approximately 13 weeks and few days until the March 23rd Midwest "Show Me" Classic - Multi/single ply/raw meet. I will be competing in the Raw Classic division (knee wraps allowed).

Goals are to Squat ~800lbs, Bench 500lbs, Deadlift ~700lbs.
My last meet (which was my first) I totaled 1796lbs (Squat-700lbs, Bench-468lbs, Dead-628lbs). more than enough time to reach these goals ( I left some lbs on the platform as the squat and dead went much smoother than expected after i reach my minimum # of posts ill put videos up )

we are currently finishing up our last Block Periodization cycle and getting ready for our 12week training cycle.

I could copy and paste my previous log from ax over here, but we'll keep this one fresh. Tomorrow morning is deads training - should be fun!

Good luck and bring home some PRs. Not many get to 2000 raw. Make it happen.

Thats the goal, with it only being my 2nd meet I just wanna hit as close to 800 on squat and as close to 700 dead as possible. but if i dont hit minimum of 500on bench ill be upset.

500 bench is my bane. I was approaching 700 squat and 750 dead this year, but my bench was lingering below 400. I really wanted to make a run at 2000 but my bench never cooperated.

Anyway, good luck!

Envious of your deadlift! lol I appreciate the wish of luck. Hopefully everything comes together with in these next 12 weeks

Here is the squat I got at my first meet

Made that look easy. Good to see another conventional stance squatter on the board.
