Jarrett's Powerlifting Log
 

My name is Jarrett and I am currently training for the Georgia Games powerlifting meet. Later this year I will be competing in the USAPL Georgia State Championship Meet. I am a raw lifter and have no interest in competing in gear (personal choice...I have the utmost respect for guys who compete in gear it is just not for me).

Split
 

Sunday: Squat/Deadlift
Monday: Back Accessory
Tuesday: Off
Wednesday: Off
Thursday: Bench

Nothing fancy here at all. For my meets I usually follow classic periodization starting with higher reps usually 5-8 and working my way down as I get closer to the meet.

Great work man!!! I am looking forward to following this log. Good luck with your meet prep, very impressive numbers

Thank you very much man. I am coming back from a car accident that derailed my training earlier this year. I am pretty excited to get back into it. Do you compete?

Yep, also a raw powerlifter. I compete in the 220s. I do not have much of an interest in gear either, at least for a few more years. I think I have a lot more room to grow raw.

Currently I am using a pretty basic westside template. Taking advantage of some variety for a while.

Makes sense to build your raw foundation first and add gear later. It makes me sick to see teenagers who cannot bench press their body weight going straight into using gear.

Almost forgot to mention...my goal in the next year is to qualify for the Raw Unity Meet. I need a 1471 total in order to make this happen in the 198.
