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!

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
