Pipes' Journey to Nationals

This past June i took USAPL New Jersey state championships and also qualified for Nationals in June 2008. Im very excited at this achievement and looking to place very high. I also will go to the USAPL Halloween Havoc competition in Oct. before then just because i love the competitive atmoshpere. 

I weigh 157 and cant give direct max stats but i do all my training without any equipment except for singles a couple weeks before my competition. This is my workout from yesterday. I do 3 total body sessions a week.

Back Squat: 3x5-355 for 7 last set.(surprised me)
Bench Press: I segmented these to help get through a plateau. segments with 3’s: 270-3 wrist wraps touch and go
DB shoulder presses: 4x6 65lb
Weighted dips: 90lbs-4x6
Drag Curls- 3x8-65lbs.
DB Decline press-4x6 85lbs.
Barbell Rows- 3x10 165
Chin-ups- 4x10 BW
DB Holds- 95lbs. (biggest ones at gym)

I work out kinda half-hazardly, although i get by through lucky genes and a really hard work ethic. I plan to lift up into 165 at the 18-19 age group. Any advice and encouragement will be much obliged including some constructive criticism. Ill keep posting until then.

good luck and nice work so far
