Hurt to bring the bar down more than anything. This cycle couldn't have ended at the perfect time if not maybe last week. Cut volume down a lot today. Wasn't even going to do the 1 board but really wanted to feel 300 in my hands one last time before the meet. Went to Walmart the other day and grabbed a couple 10,000lbs tow straps w/ 3300lbs working capacity. Works great and fully adjustable where and how ever I want to use them. Can't wait for next training cycle and do some GM,Squats, and bench off the straps.

| QUOTE (Roids @ Apr 10 2008, 08:11 AM) | | You doing any sled dragging or any other type of PL cardio? Also, I thought you didn't use a bench shirt. Has that changed? |
I do some GPP at the gym over the winter. Jumping on stuff, jump rope, plate pushing and dragging (plates on a big towel in gym), oly complexes, and other stuff. I don't have a sled yet. I do GPP on my off days and have never really logged it. I used the shirt once at Bill's so far and plan on doing so once a month while I'm over there. It was a great experience and really worked my tri's HARD. I actually feel it might help my unequpped bench to do that once a month. I still plan on all my other training and meets going unequipped except maybe for next years UPA Pro/Am in July which I'll probably do an equipped bench only. I'll stick with unequipped full powerlifting doing 3 meets or so a year just like I had planned until I hit my goals. Goal is to hit 1675 total unequipped at which point I always planned on going full gear and breaking through a 2000 total.

| QUOTE (willpiazza31 @ Apr 14 2008, 07:45 AM) | | What does deloading mean? |
Deloading can mean a lot of things but all point to recovery and stop yourself from overtraining. Deloading can be going heavy but very little volume, using higher volume but low intensity, going low intensity and volume, or just not doing anything at all. My last session started my deloading process. Low volume, moderate intensity, and leading up to doing nothing at all really for the next week leading up to the meet.

Binch OpenerB/W: 220.4 1xacouple@bar 1x5@135 1x3@185 1x1@225 Wraps on 1x1@275 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gr_DObqn6xQOkay not so zen like. Already starting to get pissed off and anxious. So, decided to hit up my bench opener this morning. Felt okay until I got to 225 and the right arm started hurting again in the decent. Screw it. 275 felt strong regardless and I find it crazy I can do that now any time any where when I got totally annihilated by 270 last Oct. In fact I just realized I'm opening higher on all my lifts then I did in that Oct. meet 6 months ago. Now that is putting me mentally back in the game!! No more excuses. I've worked my ass off to come back this past month and a half and I'm ready to give it everything I have again.

NASA Iowa Sate Championship April 26th 2008 Big meet. Not exactly sure how many people ended up lifting but it was a lot. Made for a pretty long time but EVERYTHING ran amazingly smooth. Started with some curls, 2 flights of Squats, 5 flights of bench, and 3 flights of deadlifts. I don't know but I don't believe there was a single miss-load and the spotters were right there for everything. Judges were NOT giving any gifts. Definitely had the Ace crew there. Lots of very strong lifters showed up and put together a great meet. Adrian Wright hit the biggest total of the day. If I remember right he broke through a total of something over 1800+ unequipped. Got there the night before and got weighed in at 217. I was nervous about making weight so I only had a shake in the morning, later on a peanut butter sandwich, then some yogurt, and finally an apple with some peanut butter. I sure made it under 220. Right after weigh-ins ran over to Famous Dave's and got a full rack of ribs, corn muffin, corn, baked beans, and mashed potatoes. Should have known better than to lather it all up with all the different sauces. Woke up in the middle of the night feeling nauseous but ended up just running to do the number 2 dead all night and into the next day. Normally this would be bad but this is the second meet in the row where I had an upset stomach and had some great results. Squats Absolutely LOVE the APT Convict Pro's now after wearing them for the first time in a meet!!!! Warmed up - bar, 135x5, 225x3, 315x2, 405x1 1st Attempt 441 Good lift! 2nd Attempt 463 PR Good lift! Got one red but not sure on what. 3rd Attempt 485 PR Good lift! Felt it in the tendon on this one. Squat Vid- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32u_9QvUYMYBench (THANK YOU MIKE FOR THE HAND OFFS!!) Warmed up - bar, 135x5, 185x3, 225x2, 225x1 1st Attempt 270 Good lift! Back really cramped up on this and the rest of the day. 2nd Attempt 292 Good lift! 3rd Attempt 309 PR Good lift! Bench Vid - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aSYQMeTjlADL Warmed up - Bar, 135x3, 225x3, 315x1, 405x1 1st Attempt 441 Good lift! 2nd Attempt 463 Good lift! 1 Red on this one. 3rd Attempt 485 PR Good lift! DL Vid - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFidKbLmr309 for 9 Total - 1278.66 Total COEF - 6.9389 NASA Top 100 unequipped men- 68th place (as of 04/16/08) I couldn't have asked for a better meet. Tried to keep hydrated between hitting the bathroom every 15minutes but everything started cramping down to my toes on the deadlifts by the end of the day. Hit a major milestone that I set for myself back when I first started powerlifting for this meet. I hit the 1275 total I really wanted. I was really thinking about trying for a 500 deadlift but put that off to make sure I hit the total. If I missed I wouldn't have gotten either goal. Next meet I will hit a 1300 total and hitting 500 sq/dl. I also hit my newly added goal of breaking into the top 100.
