Black_Spit's training Journal

[Black_Spit]

At my last four meets, I haven't trained the week before at all, but when I got to the meet the lifts felt awkward. I'm going to do a very light workout on Monday and Wednesday, just the squat and bench low percentage, on the week of my march 24th meet.

Like 50%, 3x5 or something similar?
I dunno. Why change what works? And it seems like no lifting works for 75% of people just fine.

i think it doesnt really matter. going light during the last week wont help you much because most people dont squat/bench 50% the same way they squat/bench 100%+.

I'd do like 2 plates for squat and 165ish for bench for a couple sets of 5. It doesn't work for me, that's why I'm going to try light workouts. You're right, it works for most people, so you should try not lifting. I'm just telling my experiences.

Why not just lift a multi?

how are your pulls looking brah

how are your pulls looking brah

I'm hoping to pull the same as I squat. I pulled 455 a 4-5 weeks or so ago to see where I was at. It went up easy.

Let's say I squat-
455/505/535

And Bench-
315/335/350

Then I would only need
455/500/515

To hit 1400 @ my first meet, which would make me feel pretty good I guess. But let's say I missed the 3rd bench, then I'm probably trying 530.

I've pulled 500 before. Fairly easy, but I have crappy form. :/

Basically I have no clue, that's the real answer.

515+ for the deads. kill it. you'll have the adrenaline on your side

[Black_Spit]

Thanks. I doubt I'll compete in it, but I'll probably go check it out.

actually pretty nervous for some reason...

i think its good to be nervous. when you're nervous you get serious. i compete so often that i cant even get serious on meet day anymore lol.

[Liftamulti]

Good luck. I expect text message updates. So you better find out my phone number quick lol.

[Kent.White]

Good luck.

[LoveMyInk]

kick some ass big fella!

Nervous is good, as long as you don’t let it over power you. Learn to use it.

After your first squat, you’ll be fine.

Good luck

[Black_Spit]

Thanks everybody.

Thanks man. I needed that right
now. I just pulled up and I'm sitting in the parking lot right now.

Got here early on purpose bc my sense of direction is awful. I wanted to leave the house by 4, so i got to sleep before 9 actually, (google said 2:52 drive and weigh ins are 7-8). So it's about time for some stimulants to wake me up.

I should be good to go.

Give er' hell wizard

[martin_mathers]

lets get it done!!! gravity is running fuucking scared!!!

[Black_Spit]

Quick update. I just finished my squats. They misloaded my opener... By a whole lot. I don't know how much it was but it was a whole lot heavier than anything I've ever squatted. I think it was 555. I missed it lol.

I still haven't gotten my bearings back honestly. I did my 2nd opener @ 455. Then 485, then 500. I smoked 500, which is good I guess, but I wanted to go 455/500/PR.

Oh well. My low back is a little sore so I'm gonna take some Advil...

[martin_mathers]

what the fuuk...oh well sh!t happens at least its not your mistake. 500 is awesome man and when you say you smoked it im pretty sure you could have jumped up with it.

The head judge (the big guy in every single SPF video Wade Johnson) said it should have been my opener...

[Black_Spit]

Btw my right nut hurts a little bit right now... I'm pretty sure that's really bad.

Also Archdukeoftops just smoked his opener. 320 @ 159 BW!

Might not be. You said your lower back was bothering you. It could be coming from that.

Congrats on the 500. Don’t get too caught up in you could’ve gotten a lot more, or it shoulda been your opener. Your original goal for the meet was 500, mission accomplished, so don’t forget that. And since this is your first meet, 500 is a PR.

Good job on squats. Don't worry about the miss-load and get your head on straight for the rest.
