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

[big_swede]

Really nice work K, keep on being persistent and you reach your goals!

Don't get too hung up on weights as you are developing form in the squat. Don't get me wrong, I feel in order to progress you have to add weight, but at the same time its a fine line. You are doing things the right way, stick with it. Once form becomes second nature you will see your lifts move consistently!

Thanks J, that means a lot coming from a guy with a monster squat and overall monster lifts! I'm eager for it to click like my deadlift but I'll just need to keep going because there will be a real sense of accomplishment once the squat improves.

What do you do when your legs feel weak? You smash the crap out of weights!!!!

Deadlifts
80x5
105x3
125x2
145x1
165x1
170x1 - Equals PR. Demolished this and considered upping the ante.

175x1 - PR! Slightly tough at the top part of the lift but I never doubted I would nail it.

145x3
145x3 - Might be PRs for trebles

Pendlay Rows
80x3
80x3
80x3
80x3
80x3 - All PRs. Some sets felt savagely good, others less so. Getting the numbers up here though

Lat Pulldown
Pin 12: 3 x 7 - Probably another PR but this exercise feels like a rest after the above!

Hammer Curls
22.5x5
22.5x5
22.5x5 Felt strong

Dymanic Squats
No box but still a worthwhile exercise to work on my wider stance. Went slowly to parallel with a wide stance and went up fast. Short rests + crap conditioning = challenge. Good for technique purposes I think.

70kg: 10 sets of 2 reps

Abs
Decline sit up + 25kg plate - 3 x 10 supersetted with

Side Raise - 25kg plate - 3 x 10 Because I want fat obliques

Intense session and I guess that Jack3d stuff + BCAA's work after all!

Great work Kuyt! Very strong session

[JordanK91]

Great workout!

Well done on the 2 pulling PR's - Your smashing the deadlifts!

I like the pre-workouts. I've used Jack3d a number of times but bought 1.M.R. monday and I've had 2 good sessions on it this week

Nice one K, 5k from the big 4 plates!

[BendtheBar]

Deadlift PR! Way to kill it Kuyt.
