The time has come…
Well folks, I have a powelifting comp in the morning! So excited!! Here at the hotel writing ou all this blog. Just got back from IHOP for the second time, haha. I got to pack on that weight to throw up some weight in the morning. I first went to IHOP around 7:30 and ate a full stack of Butterscoth Pecan Pancakes….uhhhh.. and a ham and cheese omlet. Boy was I stuffed. I just got back from eating two servings of french toast, so basically half a loaf of bread, haha.
I weighed in at exactly 230 lbs. I’m probably at 235-240 right now after eating all those carbs, haha. I’m opening with 435 lbs on squat, 335 lbs on bench, and 525 lbs on deadlift. Currently, my PRs are 370 lbs bench (350 in competition), squat I would say I’m around 465, 475 lbs; at my last full power meet I squatted 435 easily, but that was back in November so I’m well past that, and PR on deadlift is 550.
Currently, the World rcord for bench at 242 lbs in the junior division (ages 20-24) is 400 set back in ‘03. I’m hoping to get close to that, maybe around 490ish, but we’ll see how I’m feling tomorrow. Not to concerned about squat, bu I’m hoping on getting around 475, if not more. I’d like to get 575 on deadlifts, but again depending on how it all goes tomorrow.
I’m trying to get up to 250 lbs by the end of the year, so I can cut down to 242, then get back up to 250 come time to lift. You get stronger as you wigh more. Take into consideration the 20 lbs I’m looking to pack on will be done the healthy way. None of that McDonalds all day every day, grosss!
It would also be nice to walk around 250 in the off-season for when i start competing in bodybuilding. Then cut down to around 220 totally shredded. We’ll see how the rest of the year goes and I will keep you all posted!
Best of luck to everyone!
