Path to Greatness at 220 Raw

Training Logs
1

I’ve just started to compete in the 220 class. I’ve competed once at 220 in May and I’ll get on the platform again in the 220 class at the IPL Worlds in Vegas in Nov. I started in the 198s, but I can’t make the cut anymore without sacrificing strength.

BEST LIFTS AT 220:
SQUAT: 589
BENCH: 429
DEADLIFT: 622
BEST TOTAL: 1640

BEST LIFTS AT 198:
SQUAT: 584
BENCH: 424
DEADLIFT: 655
BEST TOTAL: 1653

My goals for Nov are 600/440/660 with no wraps. I post all of my training vids on my youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/zmcdole?feature=mhee
