Looks easy when you do them ! Good idea with the youtube channel, quite a few powerlifting fans there.

And thanks for the offer on advice, i'll mostly follow the same program for at least another couple more months than will reconsider if bodymass gains keep on outpacing strength gains, should have quite a few questions to post on the forum by that time.

Today’s workout
Seated overhead press- 3*5@225lbs
Close incline bench- 3*5@315lbs
Cable fly- 4*12
Bent over B.B. rows-3*8@ 335lbs
Weighted dips- 3*8 with 120lbs added

Ate a shit load of food today so I guess tomorrow will be low carb day lol. Had 3 eggs w/ 1.5 cups egg whites, 5 strips of bacon and some toast before workout. After went to chipotle and smashed a steak burrito. Then half a roasted chicken with 2 cups white rice. Let’s see what I can destroy for diner lol.

Today was a rest day so no update but I did get my next weeks layout for workouts and tomorrow will be a fun one. 5*2 at 500lbs for squat. I think this might be a good day to test out that victory halo that showed up at my door last week!!! Anyone used it yet? Will be my first time ever using it so I’m excited to see what the hype is about

Ok so I decided to test out the halo from victory HOLY SHIT!!! I haven’t felt like that in forever!! Smashed through heavy squats and felt like I could go all fucking night!!! This shit is the truth!!! I took just 2ml about 45min before hitting the weights. It wasn’t like tne or anything like that that you can feel a sense of it was just I felt like I could lift anything and just keep goin!! I’m sold, this will be in my powerlifting bank for sure!! Workout tonight was
Squat-5*2@80% (495)
Front squat- 2*1 and 1 amrap at 85%
Box squats- 3*6@75%
Leg press-4*12
GHR-3*10
Ab rollouts 3*20

Will post video of how easy 495 went up!!

That was easy ! 495 doesn't look like 80% anymore.
Be careful not to get injured if you increase weights too fast.

Cool log, I wish we had more powerlifting related content on this forum, thanks for keeping the section alive

Thanks man!! My coach rarely has me go over 70% for lifts. He doesn’t increase training % unless my lifts are looking way to easy. Friday I go back down to a 3*3 at 60% I think. It’s a weird program bounces around on weight a lot but it’s worked so far!

Seeing your level no doubt you know how to select a good coach. Powerlifting scene looks great in the US, not many people able to coach around here, if any.
FWIW I used to train 15 years back following Westside principles (what i understood from them at least). Came back very recently but still keen on working to 1RM frequently (that taste for 1 rm remained, not the strength ). Yet reading programs around, Russian or US, it seems working with lower percentages is quite popular now - and athletes performances keep on rising. No doubt it works.

Keep it up, waiting to see your 670 squat !
