Alright, so i've had a couple logs before, none of them too interesting though. So i've decided to start a new log. I'm training for powerlifting and plan on competing hopefully soon, as the new gym i go to has a lot of powerlifters and strongmen that lift there. Anyways, i'm gonna try and include a lift video of some sort in each of my posts and update this regularly.
Current Lifts
Bench- 235
Squat- 365
Deadlift- 475
and to start off my log...
New deadlift PRs from yesterday! Current best before this was 415 in december. First i hit 425 that i didn't get on video easy. Went for 455 and was skeptical on the 475, but i got it, although it wasn't too pretty.

Couldn't get a video today, left my damn camera on my kitchen counter this morning. Good workout today. This was my first time doing BB floor press and i like it a lot, gonna start doing them more often. My incline bench as been going up like crazy lately. Hit a PR of 150x8 easy and could've done more for sure. Anyways, gonna be gone at the beach for spring break starting sunday, so this might be my last entry til then. I might get a quick workout in tomorrow, nothing heavy though.
-Forgot my video camera
-Tried and liked BB Floor Presses
-Incline BB has been feeling really good lately
-Gonna be at the beach as of sunday til next saturday for spring break

Alright workout today, better than expected though. Been at the beach for the last week and haven't done **** but drank and partied all week, so i figured this wasn't the worst it could've been. Couldn't find my video camera in my luggage cause i brought it down with me, so no video today either. Will definitely have it tomorrow on my lower day.

Pretty good workout today. Didn't wanna go all out on the deadlifts right back from spring break so i just stopped at 405, but i had a good 20 more pounds in me. Unfortunately my camera died after the 385 so thats all i got. I'm thinking i might start just recording them on my phone so i don't have to worry about the ****ty batteries in the camera and the tape and such. Anyways, heres the vid. Easy lift, but better than nothing i guess. Oh and yes, i realize i look stupid with my knee wraps around my shins. I just scraped em up during my warmup sets and didn't feel like having anymore battle scars.

Pretty good workout today. Set a PR on floor press, although i've never gone for a max before. Other than that everything else was feeling good too. Still trying to get back in the swing of things so hopefully my lifts will start going up again.

Alright workout today. My squats have gone down a lot it seems, although all those sets were done without a belt or anything. I've been concentrating on my deadlift a lot lately trying to get to 500, but i think im close enough that im gonna start squatting a lot more again. Found out today that although sumo deadlifts work my hams and glutes pretty well, they are no my forte at all. I'm just gonna throw some high rep sumos in ever once in a while to switch things up as an assistance exercise.

Didn't feel good at all yesterday so i skipped my workout and just did a light-ish upper body workout today in school. Everything was feeling pretty good and hit a pr of 41 bodyweight dips. Squats were feeling pretty good today as well. Although i had wraps on which helped a bit, i was feeling good at the 315x4 was good. I definitely had another in me, but the damn wrap came undone so i just called it quits. High rep rack pulls KILLED me. I never really go over 3-5 reps on any kind of deadlift variations, and the pump in my lower back after these, even though they were pretty light weight, was pretty intense. Overall a good workout.
-Decent lightweight upper body workout in school, hit dip PR
-Squats are still going strong even though i thought they had gone down a bit
-High rep rack pulls are hell
