I'm Not Gonna Lie To You....This Is Gonna Get Kinda Weird....Three Dragons.

[Slovation]

Well hello folks. After talking it over with a few others, CHRIS925, ErickStevens, and I decided to start up a joint PL lawg. We are all bodybuilders, turned offseason powerlifters. Eric has a couple meets under his belt, I just completed my first, and Chris is preparing his angus for his first. Just a way for us all to keep on track and motivate each other. Be forewarned, its going to get reaaaal ghey up in here. So gay Richard Simmons rollerskating in backwards assless chaps while sucking on a lollypop will look straight. We want to prove bodybuilders dont just look pretty, although we all have some ugly mugs.....except for Chris, hes cute as fu*k. I dont want to bore you all with too fancy of an intro so Ill link you to your contest prep logs for more info.

I've noticed that natural bodybuilders like yourselves seem to do pretty well at crossing over to powerlifting because of their intense focus on diet and recovery--something that's a must with high volume routines like Sheiko, etc.

I'll be interested to see all of you guys' progress.

I just signed up for sex addicts anonymous and then you guys come up with this!? FML.

Yea Ive noticed the same. Not dogging the guys with just a PL history but it seems like bodybuilders have more of a grasp on diet and maintaining a fairly lean physique while increasing strength.

Alright enough about the other two fairies in here..

Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Chris. The boss dawg of the lifting kingdom. The weak 'beta *******' of the bunch-- if you will.

Since these foolz didn't mention a single thing about PLing.. Here's where I'm at:

- Trying to get strong for the first time ever.

- Currently 13 weeks into WSB. Seeing awesome gains.

- Currently my 2nd week of pec/shoulder de-loading since I strained it a couple weeks back

- Doin' my first meet in April if all goes as planned

Gym maxes (big 3) before starting WSB:

Squat: 345
Bench: 310
Dead: 395

Current gym maxes (prior to the pec strain):

Squat: 405
Bench: 325
Dead: 505

Ok, I want to start off by saying Boris Sheiko is a fukin a$$hole. Holy sh*tballz. Today was pure hell. To be honest I dont know if ill be able to keep up with 40. It is no joke. Makes 37 look like a deload. Anyways, heres how tonight went.....

MISC: Honestly Im obliterated. First run of deads wasnt too bad actually. I noticed I feel stronger pulling sumo even though it feels super awkward pulling mixed grip like that. Last set I did conventional and it felt A LOT heavier. The bench volume killed me. My chest was so toast even trying to maintain form was a challenge since my shoulders were starting to really recruit. On the last 2 or so sets of those higher reps I had to to touch and go to make it through. The DB flys were even difficult as silly as that sounds. Rack deads.....forget it. Hands were trashed I had to use straps. Doing so burst all the capillaries in my hands. The sets of 575 were unreal. Felt like my body was going to snap in half. Im surprised I made it through actually. FML. I really wish I just ran 37 again. Ill see if I cant continue but I literally feel on the verge of injury.

Off day today. I knocked out an episode and a half of Fringe on the treadmill and that show is now my new addiction. It should make getting on the hamster wheel a little more tolerable. Weight is right around 197. My current macros right now are around 300P/125C/80F. I hit these 6 days per week and usually have a high carb day or cheat meal at some point during the week, usually on a date night with my fiance or at family dinner. I think Berto is going to have me sticking to these numbers for the rest of February trying to whittle me down closer to the low 190s. Then after that the plan is to bump the cals and get me stronger, slowly but surely. Considering the fact that I've spent the duration of my short powerlifting career in a caloric deficit, I'm looking forward to see what I can do once I'm eating like a grown man.

If you think that's a rough Sheiko routine, you should see the one I completed a while back. I did Belyaev's monthly routine from Sept 2008.
For those who don't know Belyaev, he totaled 2,028 raw without knee wraps @ 220 lbs.


I attached the spreadsheet for Belyaev's routine.

I know how those second sessions of deadlifts off blocks are. One day my hands were so torched I left the gym, left my barbell with almost 600 lbs on it, drove home, got my straps, and came back and completed the sets.

MISC: Week 1 of 40 is in the books. It feels as if I setup the program off maxes that are too high. So damn taxing. I dont see how people can make it out of the gym in under 2 1/2 hours. On paper today didnt look too bad, but that was not considering the fact my entire posterior chain is disentegrated. There is no way u can make it through without taking long rests in between those heavy sets. I had a spot for my sets of 455 squats and I can guarentee you I would have not made it through without one. After the first set my mind was full of fuk. Just knowing someone was there in case was necessary. I had to lay down in between those sets. If someone thinks they can handle volume/taxing training, 40 IMO would be a good way to get humbled. IF I make it through the whole 4 weeks Im going to just run 37 after this. I believe I found my limit when it comes to volume. 40 is a little much for me. Im hoping something magical will happen over the weekend and my body will adapt to this volume lol. Inb4imaragingvagina.
