For my first real thread, I thought I would provide a detailed look into my goal to compete in a powerlifting competition. I haven't decided what meet I will be competing at. But for right now I will be just documenting and tracking my progress from the beginning until I compete later next year when I return home from good ol' Afghanistan. A little about me, male. 5' 8" 185 lbs or about 85 kg. My goal is to compete in the 181 class. 

*exclaimer*  I don't really mind if anyone reads this thread or not as it is mainly a way to keep accountable and track my progress. 

 

I will post my daily training following a 3 day weekly split (Monday, Wednesday, Friday and /or saturday depending on how my friday goes. 

Feel free to comment! I love the sport and can't wait to compete! 

 

 

 

WOOOOO raise this junk from the dead. No apologies here. Life got in the way! 

 

new updates! 

BW: 201 screw the 181 class!!!!!

I am currently training on the Sheiko 29 program. Its considered a beginner program form the Sheiko series but its one hell of a challenge. The training volume on the program is insane and definately not for the inexpierenced. I have lifted and trained ever since my freshman year of highschool but have decided to get serious about training for a competition just about a month ago. I am just starting week 4 of the first month (kind of an awkward place to start keeping track). 

 

Mondays training: 

 

1 day (Monday)

 

1.Squat 50% 5Х1,60% 4Х1,70% 3Х2,80% 3Х2, 85% 2Х3.(27)

2.Bench press 50% 5Х1,60% 4Х1,70% 3Х2,80% 3Х5.(30)

3.Flat dumbbells “flies”10Х5.

4.Dips 8Х5.

5.Squat 50% 5Х1,60% 4Х1,70% 3Х2,80% 2Х4.(23)

6.”Good mornings” (standing) 5Х5.

7. Pedlay Rows 8x4

Total: 80 lifts

For those confused, this was just recently translated from the original russian. 8x4 doesn't mean 8 sets of 4, it means 4 sets of 8.

Making sure I'm reading it right - you're doing squats twice for a total of 50 reps?

Interesting take, I guess.

I've never heard of this program but I will definitely check it out.

Thats correct! This program has some of the highest volume ive ever expeirenced. theres a whole series. 29 through 37.

idk how I missed this, but that's a hell of a workout.

 

You're doing your whole damn body every other day... be careful to not overtrain.

The cool thing about this program is that the high volume allows me to not overtrain. I do lots of sets, not a lot of reps. The volume allows me to maintain a high intensity. Plus I try and get as much quality sleep as humanly possible and I eat around 3000-3500+ Kcals a day. Its allllll about that recovery. Thanks for the caution though!

      Why would we not be contenders? As long as Bryce plays like he did when he came back, we absolutely can be contenders...that is...   if the defense plays better... which is why adding someone like Ramsey when we have a QB on a rookie deal and can afford it makes sense IMO. No one thought of the Commanders being contenders last year or the Texans the year before and so on and so forth. Top-end QB play, especially for a guy on a rookie deal, changes everything in terms of timelines. Regardless of what this board thinks, I hope the front office is willing to he aggressive in thks window we currently have with a rookie QB deal

      Would absolutely love to have him. I dont think he would require more than a 5th rounder. The biggest thing with his contract is the amount of guaranteed money. As long as they can work out and scenario where the Panthers aren't on the hook for a lot of that, I think it's a no-brainer. The Panthers can come up with $20M at the drop of a hat with restructuring Moton's contract, so there definitely isn't an issue from a money perspective. Jaycee paired with Ramsey along with Mike Jack would give us one of the best CB groups in the league. The one caveat I see is that safety still remains our biggest current weakness. We need a starting caliber S more than CB, simply put. But adding someone like Ramsey would be amazing as long as the compensation made sense. Ramsey could also play for FS snaps also. I also dont understand this nonsense about being seasons away. We have a QB on a rookie deal who was playing at an elite level to end last season. Within reason, now is absolutely the time to make moves like trading for Ramsey.

      He'd be a huge upgrade for this year, but we're still not going to be contenders with him and I'd rather keep the cap space to roll into next season to spend on a younger player who can be an impact starter for us for the next 3-5 years while we're hoping to contend.
