As far as powerlifting workouts go, I guess only the first movement qualifies. The rest was some crazy shit I pulled out of the old Muscle & Fatness days while ogling over Arnold in his skimpy as speedos in a gym full of sweaty men (Now Rick is salivating, Pavlov's dog he is..). What the hell was I thinking back then? If only I had discovered the great sport of powerlifting back in the day, I could probably could have been on the cover of powerlifting USA by Now...Jeez
Anyway, hit 440 on the 2 Board Press for a PR. Attempted 450 and missed due to psychological crap, plus I dont think I should have jumped to 450 from 425, live and learn right? Was going to attempt 450 again as 440 flew up. Apparently all pistons were firing on the 440. Had I achieved the same set up, tightness, and focus on the 450 it would have flown...There's always next time, and besides, I am happy to hit 440 in such easy fashion considering my lack of confidence and motivation in previous 2 months, since this is a psychological game as well, I figured I would build on that.
As preivously stated, the accessory work resembled more of a M&F approach than powerlifting. By the end of this my lungs were killing me, my traps were huge, and I felt like passing out. The shortened rest periods were the cause of this I believe. But in my head, I was training my GPP or General Physical Preparedness. This should really be known as the BMEFAPNCM or Bare Minimum Endurance a Fat Ass Powerlifter Needs to Complete a Meet. Next time you finish your main movement try this. Squash all your remaining accessory work into about a 10-15 minute time span and tell me how your lungs feel....Gawd Napolean!!!
Thats all for now, next up is Dynamic Effort Squat
This was me back in the day...
Who am I kidding, it taken 2 days ago...
Keep it Dark, Keep it Heavy!!!
