mab 5/3/1 powerlifting

[Kuytrider]

Wow! 15 pound PR on squat, I have envy
PR on the bench too. By my not very expert calculations, I would hope you can come close to the 600kg mark or get over 1300 anyways. Since you're 17 and competing in the 198 class (I think) that would be fantastic

Strong PR Mab!! Nice!! As always -- the volume makes me tired just reading about it

Thanks, I'm hoping for around a 1350 total. I weighed myself the other day and I'm about 203 so a little to overweight to go 198. Knowing myself I will most likely weigh in about 200.

Good pressing mab. Strong presses + strong squats = strong man.

Let me just say that was by no means an easy rep!

Thanks OR, I like to think that!

I have been resting this weight, still really sore though so Saturday should be interesting. I have been playing around with some ideas for a new routine.

Mon
Squats Sheiko
Bench Press Smolov Jr.
Dips 3x5
Chinups
Jump Rope or something, maybe 20 set of axle c&p

Weds
Deadlift what I have been doing
Bench Press Smolov Jr.
Pullups
Military Press 5/3/1
Cardio

Fri
Squats Sheiko
Bench Press Smolov Jr.

Sat
Bench Press Smolov Jr.
Log C&P 5/3/1
Some type of BTNP
Row
Curl
Cardio

This is a rough outline that may be completely different in a few days. Would love some feedback. Also I'm taking next week off too, so should I do some lighter work the week after before going into another program?

VA Meet

Squats
405x1
435x0
435x0

Notes: Chest collasped on both reps, no idea what happened just wasn't feeling good. The warmup room was down 4 floors that had to be walked which isn't that hard but when you're going for a max weight takes some out of you. Everyone was missing squats that day, 6 out of 12 missed 2nd attempts.

Bench Press
315x1
330x1 10lbs PR
347.5x0

Was feeling really good with these, just had some form breakdown on the last attempt due to a lower back spasm and missed. I feel like I was strong enough to do it but just had some bad luck today.

Deadlift
535x1
550x1
601x1 50lbs meet PR

I was just angry by this point the way the meet was going. The 601 just went up out of pure anger for how bad I had been doing.

I'll have videos up either tonight or tomorrow.

I got to meet Mike which was really cool and we had a really good time doing the meet together. I would love to compete with him again sometime.
