As we all know the covid story and how it has effected everyone, I was one of the lucky ones not to catch it and have been at work since roughly late may. Gym opened up just last week and what better way then to celebrate with a new log on training for 2021 power lifting season.
To start off and try to lift max would be a dump idea, so I am building a plan where I start at 10x10 then slowly move to 1x1. In the process, I am looking to stack on muscle while I slowly get stronger and will be training 2 days on 1 day off then continue on in the program.
I plan to log the last couple sessions later today before I head off…Looking forward to 2021!!!

Since I have finished all my max testing I will be gearing up in a new system to prepare for a potential meet within the next two months. I will be running WSBB from here on out, you will see some different Max effort days than what Louie lives by.
As a Raw lifter my body does take a good beating from maxing out every time, so because of that I am planning on doing more Doubles and triple PRs over 1 Max rep.

Looks like you’ve maintained some good strength thru the covid. What weight class do you like to compete at?
All my previous meets I have competed in the 125kg class, but depending how I look after October, I might bump up to the 140kg class.

140, at a minimum will be a good time eating!
is the 160 and 180 on dips, added weight?
no it’s minus weight, as I have to use a pull up assisted machine to build my lat strength up. I hope one day I can do that ahahah.
