Kuytrider's Training Log: Dipping my Rippetoe into powerlifting!

[mab54]

Don't worry about that one session to much, trust me we all have those days. They happen, and you are better then most for sticking through the entire session.

Higher rep deadlifts do kill your lungs, but I feel once you start progressing with them you 1rm will start to fly!

135(297) x 5

Power Cleans
75(165)x3

Deads and Cleans sound just as tough as squats if you ask me. Nice session.

Anything over a double on deadlift feels like cardio!

Amen. 3 reps are my mental limit.

Cheers!
You're an expert at high rep awesomeness though!

Thanks Mate. Yes, my 5RM for the exercises are :
115x5 squat
97.5x5 bench
150x5 Deads
55-57.5x5 Strict press
82.5x5 Row (I think)

So I am aiming to equal all of them on Week 4 and stretch beyond that. I have 4 weeks after that before I go to the States so I will hopefully have added 5-10kg on each 5RM. I'll reset and go again when I get back and drag what I can from it.

Thanks Steve. I am going to Hobart, Indiana as that is where my mate is getting married as his soon to be missus is from there. Hoping to go in and around there and perhaps even go to Chicago as it's about 90 minutes from Hobart and is also where we land and take off from.

Keep smashing hard , in a few months time you will be warming up with these numbers and complaining your new PRs are too low

[BendtheBar]

That's right. Close, but not close enough.
