Muzzlrpress' road to 1300 and beyond

[Muzzlrpress]

Hello all. Welcome to my first and soon to be badass online journal.

I've been consistently lifting around 3.5 years.

So far my programs have been in the following order:

-Chitty bro split

-Workout from Scooby's website as I had no acess to barbell anything for a while

(Now the fun starts)
-Madcows 5x5
-Smolov base mesocycle

Around the end of Smolov I was sold on powerlifting and was determined to compete, and so I did in July at the Georgia games 2013 with a total of 1160.

-Sheiko 29/37/32 then 37/37/32

My second meet was USAPL SC State Championships with a total of 550kgs.

I am now on my second cycle of 5/3/1 BBB and loving it, with my eyes set on a meet in April.

I'm going to try my damned hardest to keeping this journal up to date, so join me on this epic tale of strength and awesomeness.

This was part of my motivation also haha.

Strong lifts. Do you pull sumo or conventional? And do you get an insane lower back pump from those 5x10 deadlifts like I do lol?

Conventional. And Tuesday's deads caused me the greatest entire back soreness of my life.

And it tends to give me more of an ass pump (no homo)

Called it quits here. There was not an once of anything in me. No drive, motivation, anything. ............ and I still got 1 extra rep on the last squat set because I'm a fukkin badass.

I know these days sometimes happen, I'm not discouraged. My body is just afraid of my potential, so I'll enjoy my weekend, eat plenty, and make my body my bish next week.
