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!

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
