LSU's quest for raw elite at 198

[BluntD]

I just gave Blunt a thumbs up on 455 x 3, lol. Nice job!

Yeah, way to **** all over my parade. How the hell did you get so strong on deads, and you just started pulling from the floor recently too. Jesus, I remember you giving me props and you've already passed me. lol

[JBElite]

so some of you have been sort of mentioning to me to possibly compete.

i decided tthat the only way i was going to compete was to break a record. im not sure how to read this data (aka what group i would be in), im guessing mens open.

here is the data link for the louisiana powerlifting state records

http://www.wabdl.org/louisiana_dead_lift.htm

here is the possibly applicable data



or



though i have no idea what open men means. im guessing it means anyone can enter....

SO, i will compete in either the 181 or 198 division (depending on which one i have to go into, junior men or mens open) and try to break the record.

i also have no clue if this is the only powerlifting federation, or when the meets are or any of that.

but, if these are the numbers, im damn sure going to try

probably aim to compete next winter/spring

Yes open means anyone man of any age can register for that class. Junior is up to 23. If there is no 181 listed for Junior, you could probably go in and set the state record for that class. Its a little melodramatic when you aren't actually beating anyone, but its your name on the record books.

Just goes to show all of the heavy sldl's and rack pulls really do pay off. Pretty crazy that he hasn't pulled from the floor at all and is able to do that.

[SwagMorris]

what's your form on those underhand barbell rows like? (aka angle/degree of back)

[The Solution]

Probably identical form, good 90 degree angle on the back, but with the hands underneath

[benjamin0]

sup BBBOOIIII!!!! Haven't been around due to days off the gym...how is Montana treatin ya? Clifs for recent events?

[The Solution]

Plannin to compete, you know you got me backing you 100% mayne. Keep doing your think bud, and if I were you start focus on lifting heavy and eating big, there is always time to cut 16-20 weeks prior for this big time comp.

Do your thing.

[5Six]

Are you selling your strength on deads? If so, let me know.

[LSU1]

I just gave Blunt a thumbs up on 455 x 3, lol. Nice job!

Noticed you did dips on chest/tri day. *gets on soap box for doing exercises that irritate old injuries*

Sternum bother you at all?

lol, thx man. didnt feel good though, i know i have more in me than that. its gonna be rollin when i get back

dips dont bother me because this is so light. when i added over 100lbs is when the problems started. thats why i like doing them at the end because i dont need to add alot of weight to them

Yeah, way to **** all over my parade. How the hell did you get so strong on deads, and you just started pulling from the floor recently too. Jesus, I remember you giving me props and you've already passed me. lol

lol, thanks man. id bet we are still pretty close on them though.

no idea man, probably like jb said, sldl and other things carrying over. this was my 3rd time pulling from the floor in the past 1.5 years pretty much

Yes open means anyone man of any age can register for that class. Junior is up to 23. If there is no 181 listed for Junior, you could probably go in and set the state record for that class. Its a little melodramatic when you aren't actually beating anyone, but its your name on the record books.

yea i wouldnt care about that. if i do compete, i will have hit higher than the record weight in a gym lift a couple times to be sure. then will at the comp, if all goes according to plan, break the record and then keep going to see what i can do. i probably wont compete until i can pull 600, which will probably be awhile

what's your form on those underhand barbell rows like? (aka angle/degree of back)

about a 45 degree angle. arms about shoulder width. pull to my upper abs. maybe a little lower than 45 degrees until i get tired and use a little momentum on the last couple reps lol

Probably identical form, good 90 degree angle on the back, but with the hands underneath

cant go that low on these plus that stresses the **** out of my low back especially after deads. at some point ill try to get a vid of a set

sup BBBOOIIII!!!! Haven't been around due to days off the gym...how is Montana treatin ya? Clifs for recent events?

yooooooo

been ok man, getting a little better. just a lot of work to be done all the time. just got back from the field today and have to do some work tonight till my day off tommorrow.

nothing much going on, just tryin as hard as i can to keep lifting and hitting it hard

lost alot of fat around my stomach and other areas, serratus is carved in pretty nicely now. no clue if im dropping weight, probably am. eating as much as i can

thanks man, i appreciate that. i never had alot of success eating that much, ive found its more effective for ME to let my body dicate how much i eat and i slowly gain weight and stay lean. probably will attempt to jack up the cals a little though, not a bad idea

i still do lift pretty heavy and ive found good carryover from higher rep work to lower rep work as well, so training is in good shape

Are you selling your strength on deads? If so, let me know.

lol. sure man, give me some f*cking biceps/triceps and its a deal lol

[SwagMorris]

Oh you pull to your upper abs? I was like "why the hell do I use so much more weight than him on that?" I pull to my lower

[LSU1]

haha, yea im not super strong on them. i like to do them later in the workout since im already tired from other **** and dont have to get heavy

i also like to stay pretty tight on these. but yea, id imagine i could rep out 225 pretty well if i started out with em. but deads have a higher priority so no worries. would be cool to get up to 225 at this point in the rotation

[AU stu.]

Sub'd to the new thread.

Is there any particular rep/set scheme you use on deads?

As in, do you just do a heavy triple and then do some reps with them?

I'm just wondering because I'm adding deads back into my workouts.

[LSU1]

i just got in touch with the guy from the 24/7 workout facility and will be going to meet up with him tommorrow at 730 and be able to train. so i should be able to train in the evenings and on the weekends whenever i want which is sweet.

no more bs 6 am workouts so i will be able to get some damn sleep. im psyched about this, glad to be able to get back to the gym

really leaning up alot here though, my waist is getting very small and tight. good stuff. a little flat from not being able to hit the gym much but i should be fine in a couple days

sorry man, didnt see this post

actually, this workout was different than usual. what i normally have been doing is using a weight which for me was 443 and doing as many reps to failure (decent form failure) until i can hit ten reps on the first of 3 sets. once i do that, i will add 10kg to the bar and do the same thing and keep going till it stops working.

i like to keep things simple with progression like that and its a good way to be able to train to the max. it also seems to carryover well to lower rep work.

Sounds like a good plan Mark. Are you a naturally lean person then to lose weight like that?

whats wrong with 6 a.m. workouts i do that everday back at school

No love for am lifters on these forums now n days

definately man. its very hard for me to hold onto weight. i drop it very easily.

well, ive never been a morning guy. plus im in the field staying up late all day and dont get alot of sleep when i have to workout that early then go into the field all day. also, i hate working out on an empty stomach

it will be easier for me to come back here, eat dinner, do my work and then go to the gym. give me time to wake up, get some meals in and get prepped.

Don't get attacked by mountain lions.

What made you decide to pursue this particular career field? Just curious.

actually, i really want to see a mountain lion. im planning on attempting to fight it and take it down if i see one. (not srs, but it would be sweet)

lots of damn rattlesnakes down here though, i saw 3 yesterday. not cool

well, i actually dislike field geology and what most people think geologists do, aka look at rocks. i do petroleum geology which involves a different type of mapping as well as seismic data and well logs. so its a completely different ballgame and really doesnt have a ton in common.

what this type of work is useful for is more environmental geology which i have absolutely no interest in. however, this is a required course so ive gotta get it done

i hear you on the morning thing, but believe me it grows on you given time,

also why would you lift on an empty stomach? get up and make a quick shake, or make a big bowl of oats, takes about 3-5 minutes and ur good to go right after you eat it to the gym.

I use to be the same way, always lfited later because of school in high school + football, but now at college i dont have any other time, and im so use to it, so i still do my 6-7 a.m. workouts back at home now.

I don't know about everyone else, but I want to harf if I try to eat anything really early in the morning.

lol, what are you talking about? i think if you had any less bf in that pic you would be dead

oooo there will be blood.....

its goin down son

what is causing the lean out?? anything in particular?

well, probably hiking up and down mountains for 8hrs a day. burnin some serious calories

[mjw8204]

Don't tell W8 you've been doing cardio.

[matthor]

lol, what are you talking about? i think if you had any less bf in that pic you would be dead

well i wouldnt mind having to eat a few extra cals is all

I can certainly see the activities you're involved in now burning a lot of cals

[JBElite]

In for the Bear Grylls adventures.

[nrk5014]

yeah, that's probably it.

[nwskier]

If there's an LSU-Mtn Lion clash, vid or negs

You should do some mountain runs while you're in montana. Take a standard hiking trail and run up the fokker. We used to have to do that for dryland training for skiing - coach would make us run up the Royal Arch trail in Boulder. 1500 vert in 4 miles

oh yeah, good to see you got the gym sorted out too.
