Iain K's Powerlifting

[IainK]

Hello

I am a powerlifter from the UK lifting in 90-93kg classes for BDFPA and GBPF respectively

Best meet lifts of 250/150/272.5kg and total of 665kg unequipped/classic.

Currently most of my training is decent frequency per week (2-3) with varying blocks of volume and loading phases. I don't do much variation in my main sessions. However over last couple of years have done plenty of deadlift varients. Currently just doing some high bar paused work for squats.

I am able to get to the gym 3 times a week but will try and fit in an extra session early in the week. Recently this has been some box jumps.

Just back from a sunday morning session but will post a full weeks worth of training. At the end of a volume style phase using 80% on the 3 lifts;

Good session today. Just the one top set on all lifts, but got pbs or close to pbs across the board so all is good. Not my normal gym. Took a trip to just out off town. Much better gym! My normal place dosn't have straight bars and is full of tools!



Next week start adding some load. Next meet is BDFPA British Champs on April 7th.

So, for the benefit of our imperial-minded friends, that's:

440 X 7 squat
440 X 1 paused squat
485 X 10 deadlift
275 X 7 bench

...all in the same workout.

Wow, that is some going.

[IainK]

Errr quite possiby

Kg weigh more than lbs so they are better

Hope your training is good?

[Kuytrider]

Welcome to MAB Iain!

You sir, are a beast! Outstanding work.

[IainK]

[leefarley]

i no nothing about powerlifting but i like your training style, lots of volume.

[MikeM]

Nice work. Excellent numbers!

More talking please. We Americans love to hear a British accent.

[IainK]

lol Mike. Do we sound different whilst grunting and breathing heavy?

Thanks Lee

It was last year. Since then - a terrible year at work, degenerative arthritis in my elbow, a rotator cuff injury. On overhead work, at the moment, I literally can't do one rep with weights I used to warm up with!

So it goes. Never mind, the world still turns. On the plus side, the gym I train at now has some great kit.

High reps for those weights is mental mate, good job.
