I Wanna Do Both

I have trained for years as a powerlifter…from coan/phillipi, westside, sheiko etc. I competed last year, 5 times, culminating in a total of 1549, RAW in the 200’s in the USAPL, and I love the sport of powerlifting. I want to keep doing powerlifting competitions and have my eyes set on one in November, my first (ans probably only) one this year…I can already blow away last years total…but my training partner Alex is an NPC competitor…My love of weightlifting started with bodybuilding, I love the sport…so I want to do BOTH…and have done the best at getting the most I can out of mt training to do so, and am loving it so far…so I figured I’d share :slight_smile: and keep a log here…

I was pretty scared…went to the doctor today and she told me I detached a muscle most likely on my spine close to my neck…I was relieved to find out that it wasn�??t a bulging disk…she put me on high dose ibuprofen (which I will reluctantly take for a few days) and wants me to stay away from lifting for a couple of weeks…HA!!! I will do NO such thing…I got chest today…fuck it

much harder when you use slow deliberate movements, I really have been taking the time to focus on the peak contractions and slow negatives, as well as slow positives…its a whole different world from the fast paced powerlifting style Iâ¿¿m so used to.
