Everyone I train with are multiple time World Game and IPF Worlds medalist/winner/record holder in both equipped/raw they help me put on my suit, spot, give me cues etc which is great

but I just wanted to take in as many tips/advice to perform better..

edit: I basically flew out of my home city and stayed with the national team(Indonesia) for a planned 4 weeks before flying back home.. just to train equipped..

Just listen to whatever they say!

Is it Sri Hartati? She's amazing and one of my favorite benchers!

I wear my belt at least 2 holes bigger in gear, maybe 3. Your squat looks pretty good. Bench will take the longest but once you get it it will really help sustain your progress. My bench started out the worst but it has made more gains than the other two lifts combined during the past 5 years. It is not uncommon for people to try to touch way too low or way too high at first.

Zahir / Eric stuff is funny. Really hoping Eric will have a good overseas performance this time. Excited for that meet, hoping for a good turnout.

When is this happening?

I'm pretty sure Eric said in his live video that he'll be heading over two weeks prior to adjust his sleep schedule and eating. So hopefully he'll do good. Dude is so damn humble it's unbelievable

October I think. I believe that's when last years Big Dogs was. So much potential for growth with those meets.

Very good, I really like Eric. He gets a bit upset at silly things online sometimes, but he has been lifting at a pretty insane level for a long time now without a real hiccup. Hoping that he'll do well.

hey guys, idk if anyone remembers me... I haven't been on here in years.

took a long hiatus. half-assed stuff for a long time, then just did about a year of more bodybuilding type work. training for a meet again on 10/28. just ran the Renaissance Periodization Powerlifting Hypertrophy plan. Just starting my deload week. It's been alright, but I don't like how they have it set up and looking at their next phase (Powerlifting Strength plan) it's set up similarly.

Feeling lost like I don't know what I want to do in order to train and then peak for the next 10 weeks before the meet. Who wants to help out? lol.

I'm sitting at 214 right now (never coming back to you, 275 class sorry m8), toying with the idea of cutting up until maybe 2 weeks before the meet see how close I can get to weighing in for the 198 class. It's just a "for fun" meet so I wouldnt' do a big water cut or anything. The weight loss is just for health and feeling better.

I wouldn't even know where to begin at guessing what I may hit for the meet since I haven't done anything less than 8 reps in over a year until these last few weeks. Even then, I haven't been doing a ton of competition lift work. Squat I've done 4 sets of 8 @ 315 no wraps. Bench I've only been hitting incline for the last 4 weeks. Deadlift I've only done deficit work for the last 4 weeks but hit 6 sets of 8 @ 315.

Definitely still getting used to the heavier weights, but it's coming back to me. Just feeling kind of lost at what I want to do tbh.

@NorthStrong @Jason hey guys, i'm back lol

[Jason2459]

Welcome back too.

You could do just about anything since its just for fun. Starting bringing down the rep count progressively over the next few weeks. Do some sheiko thing. Just jump into any number of 3x3s and a couple weeks out do some singles. 10/20/life contest prep is 10 weeks long leading right up to a meet. Etc.

found your spreadsheet for 10/20/life that you put together in 2015... still think that's a decent tool for approaching the program or at least a program similar to it?

[NorthStrong]

[Jason2459]

Yep, it's based on the template given in the book to be adjusted by you.

Yeah man they raised over 100k already to get it going

[dang111]

I chipped in some. Say what you will about westside but when I started following lifting they were the best. That's all I heard about when I got into PL.

I also chipped in. Wish those chucks weren't like 2 grand lol those things are sick. And I agree, I love everything about westside, the ideas, the people, the attitude. It will always have its place in powerlifting its one of those things you can't ignore

Powerlifting Watch and Titan Support Systems finally revamped their sites, what a time to be alive!

[Jason2459]

Saw that and are over their goal which ends in September. Looks like release is 2018.

So by revamped you mean Powerlifting Watch went from Blue background to White and more ads? Titan's site is pretty nice and I can still get a snake skin belt. Sweet.

[Jason2459]

Looks like andersonpowerlifting.com finally updated his site too. I'm liking the new lever design for the SBD belt.
