I haven't posted in a while I'm always lurking though. I'm about 3 weeks out from my next comp and I've seen some really good gains this go around. Check out the vids. I know I've seen more and more strength guys around too, don't hesitate to ask any question.

Good luck bro, those are some good lifts. I assume 220 class? What gear (equipment wise) will you be using?

Thanks, yep 220's I'm thinking about trying to diet to 215 and compete at 198 in November but one step at a time. I'm competing raw, knee wraps, wrist wraps and a belt.

Very nice brother and if anything i would keep it in the 220's cause you could still gain another 5 or so lbs and be smiling when you weigh in instead of your guys having to help you get on the scale(lol)jk Good luck and stay strong!!!

Looks like a 500lb bench is in the works RAW !!!

awesome lifts Kevin, i think 220 class would suit you aswell but obviously you have a game plan here, i would love to see the template routine you use fella.

PitbullTank - thanks

GS - I'd do the cut solely to go after the world record, I'll more than likely try to compete in the 220's as long as I can though.

Badguy - right now I'm three weeks out from comp so I'm just hitting heavy singles on the main lifts dialing in my form. Coming into this phase I used a weightlifting template called prillepin's table that's a really good guideline for what reps and sets to do for a given intensity. For about 3 weeks I stuck to the 80-90% range and it set me up well to peak on my lifts right now.

Checkout what I said above and to kind've continue that before prillepin's table I was doing a lot of variations things like Anderson squats, Zercher squats, block pulls, sumo pulls, floor presses, board presses etc. I just try to keep my strength at everything very high until I get more specific to the 3 main lifts.

Those are some great lifts with great form! Good luck on the meet

Damn fine lifts! If you can push 463 X's two then I bet you could push 500. What's your best 1RM for bench?

 

[anarchocapitalist]

over the past few years you've been training hard at powerlifting ... what has made the most different in your training? i've noticed a big improvement in your technique compared to those vids you posted a while back (clean and press etc). good job dude.

 

[FuckYourWhiteHelmet!]

Keep up the good work man those are some fancy numbers. Good luck in the comp. By the looks of it you won't need much luck

 

[Tom]

Great lifts man! Looks like you're close to an 800-500-800 sandwich!!

 

[ubermensch]

bet you have always been hell of an athlete.

 

[letsrun4it]

i was thinking 463 seemed like the low number....then you repped it for 2!!!! BOOM you are the man

 

[Powerbuilder]

Yeah buddeh- thanks, I appreciate it.

Medic - I did 490 at my last competition and 502 in training, I'm looking to hit 500 at my comp.

Anarchocapitalist - the biggest difference in my numbers have come from form improvements and focusing on absolute maximal strength. Learning how to truly put all of your energy into 1 rep.

FuckYourWhiteHelmet- thanks man

Tom - yeah, I'm thinking I might be able to get 2100 by November or February.

Übermensch - lol, I was a sprinter for years before I focused more on bodybuilding/powerlifting. That base definitely helped.

Letsrun4it - lol thanks

Awesome progress man. I don't think I have seen a more impressive jump in numbers in a such a short period of time than yours.

 

[BigDM]

Awesome lifts brother! :headbang:

Are you using any particular training program?

 

[zee-man]

Incredibly impressive man and really motivating.

If you don't post again before the comp, wish you the best of luck. Get after it!
