I should prob change my screen name since I don’t compete in powerlifting anymore. Since i don’t know how it will stay for now. I am a former elite level powerlifter after several years of competing I have decided to loose some weight and get back into the kind of shape i was in when I played college football and when i wrestled.
I am very lucky i have worked for two excellent strength coaches and I have trained everything from soccer moms to pro athletes for the last 10 years.
I train three days a week M W F I am in the process of recovering from a car wreck so this should be interesting.
At the moment I do something sim to 5 3 1 but i like to mix it up as well.
I currently weigh 255 down from just over 300 a year ago. I used to comp at 242.
here are some clips to give you an idea where I am coming from
Please forgive me I have horrible spelling and grammer.
cambered bench bar (nice big range of motion)
X5 315
x5 335
X6 335
incline dumbell press 100lbs 4X10 each arm (holding one arm locked out press one arm then switch)
I did these because i was too lazy to take out the big dumbells lol It is very tuff
here is a clip of one of my female athletes doing it
paired with kneelins scare crows 4X16
I have been powerlifting for awhile so i started to add some get pretty work so i can look better lol
seated plate raise
3X12 nice a slow and controled
paired with cable lateral raise 3X12
then i paired curls and tri extentions
All done.
I was pretty happy with the effort today considering my low back is killing me from my car wreck.
on a side not one of my clients a 40 year old tennis player did this bar complex this week she is 105lbs … she is doing the complex with 75lbs i was very proud of her
don’t hit the heavy bag the day before an upper day especally overhead press.
hitting the heavy bag when your neck is already killing you from car wreck not a good idea either.
as i have started to harden up so to speak and i have lost weight my strength levels have started to suffer. Now that i have added more bodybuilding type stuff i am going to have to get used to the fact that i am going to be weaker on somethings and that is ok.
upper day oct 9
standing millatary
3X5 with 185 I was not happy with this at all I was in alot of pain but i battled through it.
as the work out went on i felt better …
seated hammer shoulder press
4X12
hammer rows
4x12
one arm snatch (i have not done these in years)
70lbs dumbell X12
80lbs X12
100 X8
i was pretty happy with that all thing considered
circuit of curls kickbacxks and flyies for upper back

Strong stuff in here, do you guys know if you’re going to be at the Lexen Fall Classic in a few weeks?[/quote]
It
would be nice too. Since I am
not compeating anymore I have not been to many meets. Some of
that might be fear or getting bit by the meet bug. Going to a good meet gets one fired up to get under the bar so to speak.
Dude you’re a goddamned tank. Noticed your av and your question to the other poster about his pit. I’ve got 3 razors edge myself. Best dogs on the planet.

Looking good Jim.
Thanks …
Great looking pit is it yours ?[/quote]
No, I have a similar looking half pit/half rotweiler that was rescued by my daughter. We’ve had her since she was 8 weeks old. The picture was the closest thing I could find on the web when I joined.
