10-ish weeks until the Arnold, which is March 7, 2015.

Week 1 of precontest starts this weekend and I’m excited.

Notice the title of the log.

This is NO DISRESPECT to lifters like current and former 242 greats Juha, Panora, Hoff or ANYONE at all. It’s in reach and I want the total record, especially since I was pretty close a few months back. I’ve actually chased it on and off for the better part of 10 years.

I’m not predicting shit, calling my shot or anything like that. The fact is that I’m pushing that 2700+ at 242. Will I get it? Let’s see. Either way, I’m on the path toward it, I just hope I get there, and will log pretty much everything about the process. This will also keep my accountable to make sure I’m doing what I need to be doing.

I blew up and got a little fat over the Christmas Holiday weekend BUT I’m back on the horse daddy! You gots to keep it trill.

I took a full deload last weekend and just did a lot of walking and stuffed my face.

No squats or pulls on Saturday.

Monday – last night I basically did a fluff and buff.

Normal warm-up: Always McGill big 3
1-arm KB swing
KB Goblet

Training
Band fly: 6×12
Band skull: 6×12
Bench dip: 3×12
Incline DB: 3×12
Side lateral: 3×15
Rolling plank: lots
Hammer curl: 3×15

Like I said, nothing too great or cool! Friday I’m going to ramp up and push hard for a bit. I’m looking at my travel schedule over the next couple of months and it will be a challenge but I’m up for it.

I’ll be in good locations or at home all of the weeks I need to take some big weights. The first few weeks are so light I don’t think it matters too much. The meat and potatoes – weeks 5/6/7 will be important that I’m dialed in but that will be taken care of!

Brian Carroll

Owner and Founder at PowerRackStrength.com

Brian is a retired world-class powerlifter with over two decades of world-class powerlifting. From 1999 to 2020, Brian Carroll was a competitive powerlifter, one of the most accomplished lifters in the sport's history. Brian started off competing in bench press competitions 'raw,' then, shortly into the journey, he gravitated toward equipped lifting as there were no "raw" categories then. You only had to choose from single-ply (USPF) and Multi-ply (APF/WPC). Brian went on to total 2730 at 275 and 2651 at 242 with more than ten times his body weight in three different classes (220, 242, 275), and both bench pressed and deadlifted over 800 pounds in two other weight classes. He's totaled 2600 over 20 times in 2 different weight classes in his career. With 60 squats of 1000lbs or more officially, this is the most in powerlifting history, regardless of weight class or federation, by anyone not named David Hoff. Brian realized many ups and downs during his 20+ years competing. After ten years of high-level powerlifting competition and an all-time World Record squat at 220 with 1030, in 2009, Brian was competing for a Police academy scholarship. On a hot and humid July morning, Brian, hurdling over a barricade at 275lbs, landed on, fell, and hurt his back. After years of back pain and failed therapy, Brian met with world-renowned back specialist Prof McGill in 2013, which changed his trajectory more than he could have imagined. In 2017, Brian Carroll and Prof McGill authored the best-selling book about Brian's triumphant comeback to powerlifting in Gift of Injury. Most recently (10.3.20) -Brian set the highest squat of all time (regardless of weight class) with 1306 lbs – being the first man to break the 1300lb squat barrier at a bodyweight of 303 lbs.
