BombDonald's Powerlifting Log
Decided to start keeping an online log since I always seem to misplace my written one.
Currently working on filling out the 198 weight class as I am outgrowing the 181s. Two hour weigh-ins are not conducive to a lot of cutting. My bodyweight is hovering around a lean 187ish right now.
Due to just starting a full-time overnight job as a stockboy and taking classes, my recovery is not up to par because of a crazy sleeping schedule, and my appetite has been complete crap lately.
This is basically my workout schedule I have planned right now:
Sunday- Rest
Monday- Squat/Bench/Chins/Deadlifts (moderate weight) & Arms/Calves (low volume)
Tuesday- Rest
Wednesday- Rest
Thursday- Squat/Bench/Chins/Deadlifts (heavy weight) & Arms/Calves (low volume)
Friday- Rest
Saturday- Arms/Calves (high volume)
My arms and calves are lagging big time so I am going to start hitting them a lot.
Goals by the end of the year are as followed (a little lofty but not unreasonable )
Squat- 495x3 (beltless)
Bench Press 365x3
Chins 120x3
Deadlift 565x3 (beltless)
Arms 16.5"
Calves 16"

1. Squat 455x3-2-1(failed the 2nd rep)
2A. Bench Press 315x3-2-2 (terrible, just terrible)
2B. Chins 80x3-2-2 (meh)
3A. Press 135x12-10-8
3B. BB Row 185x12-10-8 (just feeling these out)
4. Leg Curls 110x15-15-15
Solid workout, but squats took a lot out of me. Wednesday will be fairly easy.
Decided I am going to do a meet on the 30th of October since I realized my Junior eligibility ends at the end of this year and not next year. I am going to shoot for a high 1400s total and maybe take a run at the Junior Total record for 198. Hopefully a 534-540 (242.5-245kg) squat will be in the mix. I will just go for broke on my 3rd attempt with that, then will get a mid-300s bench and a high-500s deadlift. My weight will probably only be around 190 at that point so I will be coming in a bit light (unless I can finally get fat).

1. Squat
475x1
405x5
*easy. I was surprised
2A. Bench Press
315x5-4-3
*quite a few assisted reps, I was just trying to kill myself
2B. Chins
80x5-4-3
*crappy form
3A. JM Press
205x5-4-3
3B. EZ Bar Curls

Probably going to change up my routine soon, going back to doing squat/bench 2x week and deadlifting 1x week most likely.
Weight is slowly going up. Can't wait until I hit 200ish, then I will post some new progress pictures and maybe put up some measurements.
