USAPL/IPF/NAPF Powerlifter trying to make his mark on the world while being a VeggieSaurus Rex.

One goal in Mind..... Making an IPF World Team!!!!!!

I am normally so bad at not recording my Training Sessions, even though I write my own Program, haha

1st step, beat my Lifts from the Arnold in March:

Squat 325k

Bench 227.5k

Deadlift 275k

Next Meet June 22nd............

I wouldn't go to a Personal Trainer for help with your lifts, I would try to find a Powerlifting Coach either National or International Level if possible.

Where do you live? I know a lot of great coaches all over the world!!!

Billy Mac

My Goals for each lift:

350k Squat

240k Bench

300k Deadlift

Finally Hit a 227.5k,501 lbs at the Arnold this year!!!!!!

285k RAW 627 lbs

340k Single Ply 748 lbs

It has been a dream to go to the Arnold!! But it isn't in the cards again this year. Oh well I will await pics in Oxygen as they always go....

You gotta get there!!!!! Its Fitness Disneyland haha This will be my 3rd time Competing and its by far my Favorite trip of the year

I'm just a little under 2wks out from a push/pull meet, starting my final heavy week now before I deload and rest up.

 

Deadlifted 3 x bodyweight last night so pretty happy with that, my final three sets were:

 

352 x 4

396 x 2

429 x 1 (3xbw) ** PB **

 

Interesting thing (to me anyway) is that I've probably trained DL's less this time around than I usually do.

Im a big fan of under training my Deadlift, I very rarely go over 90% in a training cycle. Also I only Deadlift from the floor once every 2 weeks. Just my way of doing things and it works pretty well for me and my clients and my team

 

There's only one thing I'd watch out for, and that's unlocked elbows at the initial pull with the over/under grip. You see a lot of nasty bicep tears resulting from this, and it's an easy thing to change in the setup.

 

 

This. I was going to post this but you beat me to it!

'Sup, Bill! How'd you get into power lifting? What's the best thing about it, what do you look forward to every day?

 

Baby Herc

Ummm lets see.....My High School Strength Coach got me into........8 years after I graduated haha. The best thing about it is Competing against myself everyday in the gym...........I look forward everyday to getting in that Squat Rack...........
