Training journal - Powerlifting

I managed to find a bit of time to watch the IPF worlds , and I enjoyed it !

so I am now doubling up on my efforts to lose the pork and get into reasonable physical shape and hopefully compete myself at least once this year

Eat for performance Boarski. bo***cks to pork loss.
Trying to get holiday lean has made me weak. Don't do that.

I will eat my way over the 83kg limit John, and I was 74 whilst cycling .....so befor I get strong enough to actually lose strength whilst dieting , I want to drop a nice half a stone , but I'm not going mad.

will use my SEXY scales to make sure nothing terrible happens !!

standard session , deadlift nudging up little by little ..... anyone misguided enough to believe drugs don't play a massive part in strength sports ...I would almost certainly be doing triples with 200 about now , probably more

stay clean kids !!!

Great stuff!

But wait, I could maybe do triples with 200 now. So if I take those drugs you mention....

:-)

you would be repping 260 and hitting 280 singles FO SHO !!

but sod all that

when I get to a 400lb squat and 500lb deadlift, they will eclipse all my other PB's

treadmill

• 30 minutes
  

Shouldn't be too much of a problem, depends how much weight you are prepared to gain

When I was 'quite fit' over the winter , I was about 74kg ....im not a tubby'ish' 82kg .... I'm not looking to go over the 83kg limit

If you are looking to compete at 83 that gives an extra 2-3 kilos and an overnight dehydration - nothing drastic.

cheers bill , In an ideal world I will be a little over 83kg and not fat !!

at the moment I am now 80kg exactly and over 20%bf
