[wa-wps]
I’m currently training to qualify and compete at the XPC Finals at the Arnold. I am transitioning my training right now away from weightlifting into powerlifting and hope to change the all time record books once again.
This is the first time I’ve been in powerlifting equipment since last fall and even though I have been using this stuff for over a decade now it still catches me a little offguard when I haven’t been in for this long. Â Still very familiar with everything mentally but the body still has a little catching up to do!
Heavy Lower Day (Warm ups – Empty bar squats, rotational hip stretches, TFL stretch, bird dogs and shoulder mobility)
Squats + Inzer 3-ply Predator Briefs = 625 3×3
– Just breaking these in, Still quite snug so I had spandex on under them to get them up and make them more manageable.
Romanian Deadlifts (posterior chain emphasis) = 3×3 405
– Keeping the low back locked in here to stress the hamstrings
Heavy Upper Day 1Â (Warm-ups-shoulder mobility, chin-ups)
Shirted Bench = 405×3 455×3 505×3
–Â Had missed the eyeballs blowing out of your face feeling so this was a nice return to that. Â Around a 2 board from touching so not a real bad start here. Â Also messed around with a thumbless grip in the shirt. Â This has felt much better for me unequipped in the last year or so and I finally got the gumption/lack of better judgement to try it here. Â Felt a lot better but I also wouldn’t do it without face savers either.
Pull ups = BW +45lbs 5×2
–Â Shoulders were murdered after using the shirt so just moved on to pull ups. Â Small tweak in left lat but healed up quickly
Had the pleasure of playing in a fundraiser golf tournament (Feature Photo) with some of the coolest professors from ETSU (or anywhere else) you could hope to meet. Â I honestly played much worse than I normally do but still had a good time with them. Â I really do feel lucky to be able to learn and work with the people I do here.
