Powerlifting

[TTT]

what are your openers and expected lifts?

I know this can change depending on how you feel after each attempt but what do you want out of it?

[NickR33]

Squat: 160 > 170 (current PR) > 175 or 180 depending on how hard the 170 is... I've hit the 170 a couple of times in the gym since but they were HARD

Bench: 110 > 115 (current PR) > 120 ... I failed 120 in the gym a few weeks ago but I reckon I can get it tomorrow...

Deadlift: 210 > 225 > 240 ... a bit ambitious but I don't think I've truly maxed my DL yet... PR is 215 but that came up fairly easily and was done in basketball boots lol... I have slippers now

I think this will be my last comp without knee wraps... and I may experiment using a belt next year

either way I'll be having a rest from the heavy 1rm stuff after this comp... try to lean up a bit, improve mobility, do some bodybuilding, all the boring stuff... then if I'm still keen hit the heavy stuff hard next year and figure out where I want to compete

[TTT]

did you go in to PTC and lift in all the gear (soft suit and slippers) and use the texas bar?

[NickR33]

yep... was fun... just not for everyone else lol

worked up to and squatted 170 a couple of times... then I deadlifted but only went up to 200kg with the slippers+texas as my back was shot from the squats

[TTT]

Good luck mate.

update us on how you go

[trentzor]

Looks like someone's been told to come have a laugh at us, have we Trent?

Several of the guys at the gym owns skylines actually. They mentioned it.

I don't remember the forum having this sub-section. Good diversity here.

[trentzor]

Yeah for sure, good advice... I am focused on my total, been running through the lifts in my head over and over... maybe too much!

about 87.5kg at the moment... at least 88kg by the time I'm finished eating tonight lol

bit nervous about the squat... dunno why... but looking forward to deadlifting and really going all out

Just nail the squat openers tommorrow get the nerves out of the way. Should all settle down after that.

Say hi tommorrow if your free.

[NickR33]

cheers guys:)

sorry had to go to a fckn black tie cocktail party after ProRaw... could barely stand, except to chase the catering people around to eat all their food lol

EPIC event... some seriously massive, strong dudes, doing some ridiculous lifts

I started off well with the squat hitting my 180kg pb as planned

Bench wasn't as good, hit 115kg fairly easily but failed 120kg about halfway up... it took a lot out of me and I was feeling pretty drained by deadlift time

Opened on 210kg, got it, nice and easy... went to 220kg as I was pretty shagged and finding it difficult to get psyched up... it came off the ground fine and I thought I had it locked out but got red lights for my knees being bent... so instead of going heavier I just did 220kg again and made sure I locked it out properly

10kg pb on squat, 5kg pb on deadlift for a 515 total... comps are a long day, mentally hard to keep getting yourself hyped for a lift... was a good experience

Thanks to Markos and the whole crew of spotters, loaders, judges, helpers... looks like a lot of work to put something like this together

Sorry I couldn't stay for the trophy ceremony

ps. I bunch of HUGE records were broken... but I'll let Markos post about that

Well done Nick.

Can only get better from here..... do your cut etc and then focus on the next states in April I think it is.

give yourself a 11 - 12 week prep for it and we'll go head to head.
