[wishiwasdivin]

This is my journey into Powerlifting

Hello Everyone!!


Some of you my already know who I am and have followed my logs in the past. But for some of you who may not know me let me start by introducing my self.

My name is Carl, I've had a few people who asked me if I was going to start a Journal. Will now sense the new rep rules are in place I think it's a great time to start this journal.

So with that being said let's see how this goes . Will I started lifting in 2007 and it quickly become a way of life for me and I didn't know why it took me so long to get started in it.

When I really started getting in to lifting, I it was something about the feeling I got from pushing my body to do things that seemed impossible now are easy.

I know the lifestyle of weightlifting/working out takes lots of hardwork and dedication. But we all know in the end it's all worth it when things start to change for you.

As for me weightlifting is about pushing myself everyday to be better than I was the day before. Over my years of training I have finally found that (mind and muscle connection) in that connection is where things start to change.

The secret to it all is hard work and if you put your mind to it you can do anything. The biggest obstacle in any ones life is them selves.

Ok moving on with the workout routine. Will I've been thinking about getting into the powerlifting so here we go with my very first attempt into the POWERLIFTING WORLD.

Might wanna look into some acceleration based work along the way (bands, chains etc), the hypertrophy work for chest is nice but may not be consistent with your goals ( 5 sets x 10 reps) but see how you progress and make adjustments off that.

Subbed for sure man! What training maxes are you working with?

[wishiwasdivin]

Subbed for sure man! What training maxes are you working with?

As of now I'm just playing on the low end of everything that I know good form was used. So I guess you can say I starting over from scratch I mean my thinking is if I'm going to give powerlifting 110% then I don't want to use anything where form was nasty if that makes sense?

In on this journey.

[wishiwasdivin]

Hey Everyone!!

Will as you all know today was my first ever Powerlifting training sesh. Everything went good this morning all the lifts felt great, I started everything out on the low end side of weights just so I can be sure that I keep good form.

I feel if this is something I'm going to really give my all then I don't want to use any of my max weight where form may have been off. I just don't want to feel like I may be cheating myself.

I can see that in my next workout I will have to change some # because some of this ended up being lighter than I thought. Lol so just stay with me I'll get everything figured out soon .

As I stated Thursday I will have to change my # because things felt light this morning. But I guess I can say that's a good thing. Ok so here's the workout from this morning.

On the press this morning I used 185 for 1 rep after I did it I felt like I had 4 more reps in me. Because it went up really easy. I also added in some CG Bench.

Day One

Press – 5/3/1
135,155,185

Bench Press – 5 sets of 10 reps
135,185,205,225,225

Lat work – 5 sets of 10 reps
10 plates,12 plates,14,plates,16plates,16 plates

CG BB Bench - 5 sets 10 reps
135,185,205,205,205

Cardio 20mins on the treadmill

Abs 5sets

Number admustment is always a must, especially if using percentages. Right now I'm doing the Cube Method, it called for a 5x2 day, with 205...did 5x3 with 225. It's almost like constant reevaluation, especially during the first few weeks.
