I’m getting more pictures in a few days from people that were there but here’s my Squats, Deads, and Meet Write Up
Meet went pretty well. I weighed in at 214lbs. Went 7/9
Squats
540lbs - Good Lift
575lbs - Good Lift
610lbs - Good Lift
Bench
370lbs - Good Lift
405lbs - No Lift, So close to locking out
405lbs - No Lift, Gassed
Deadlift
590lbs - Good Lift
635lbs - Good Lift
660lbs - Good Lift
I totaled 1640lbs, which puts me at Elite, in hindsight I need to make smaller weight jumps in my Bench attempts because had I did 390/395 for a second, I would have totalled at least 1655 which would be the Elite Total for the 275’s and I’d have it as a 220er… oh well, there’s next meet to do that. Very pleased with my results and looking forward to the next one in March.
Tuesday: Upper Body Conditioning: 30min of Battle Ropes
Wednesday:
a. Chins- bw (215) x7, x6, x6
b. Meadows Rows- 4x10
c. Seated Face Pull- 3x15
d. Close Grip Pulldown- 3x10 drop 1x10 drop 1x10
Taking it easy this week and start experimenting with different assistance exercises for my next training block. I’ve talked with Stronghold about having an 8 week offseason and not focus on meet prep until New Year’s where I’ll be getting ready for another meet come March.

Boy you strong! I saw your other log, do you follow a block periodization scheme? Do you have any other good / bad experiences with others?[/quote]
I do follow a Block Periodization scheme, I prefer it best for where I’m at now. I did do “Westside” and Sheiko, but Block is the only programming that consistently adds 5% to each of my lifts each time I use it for meet prep.
Here are all the photos from the meet… Powerlifting literally brings the worst possible looks for oneself lol[/quote]
lol they made the guy in 234 look retarded

Looks like it brings out the worst possible squat form for some people too.

I’m actually embarrassed to say that I train alongside some of those that have that kind of “Squat” form, huge eye opener and makes me grateful that I had an excellent coach that taught me right.
