so just back from my first comp, my goal was a 1000 total (actually my goal was not to miss all the lifts and look like an a$s lol) and i totalled 1067 with a personal best in the deadlift of 429, a PB in the bench of 286 and a pb in the squat of352, not great numbers but it was my first comp so happy with it, failed my final squat of 375 and the deadlift of 445.
great comp so really good guys there and my coach set a new masters record in the deadlift with a 616 lift.
Congrats.
All respectable numbers, imo.
Good Job Frost! Thank you for posting your totals for us to admire!

weirdest boner right now…
j/k congrats on the pb’s
Frost,
I just want you to know that you gave me the “itch” to lift heavy again.
So, I joined a new gym in the area that is owned and operated by a friend of mine from high school. And, I started drinking my GOMAD(Gallon of Milk a Day) to get my weight and strength back up.
I’m shooting for a 400 squat this time and hopefully at least a 450 DL.

nice clip cheers!
What kind of milk? 2%?
2%? Pssshh…
Whole milk, my man.
It will be the second time i’ve been on the GOMAD diet. The first time I was able to put on 50 pounds of weight and weighed a LOT more than I ever have before.
It’s obviously not something you want to do for very long, but it does get the job done. It’s also incredibly helpful for recovery when you’re doing linear progression every workout and every workout starts off with 3 sets of 5 on ass-to-grass squats.
so next comp is in 10 weeks
first really hard training session since the last comp, did 310 x 4 x 3 sets on the squat, 275 x 2 for 2 sets (both reps paused under command) and deadlifted 375 for 4 reps x 2 sets, all rep PBs so happy with the way training is going
Excellent number my man, excellent number indeed
Any muscle mass increase since you’ve been doing PL?

well my backside has got bigger lol
honestly triceps are bigger, chest is deeper and the thighs are bigger, still weigh about the same but t-shirts are tighter lol
What routine are you doing?
[QUOTE=sanjuro_ronin;1120684]What routine are you doing?[/QUOTE]
a made up one lol
i lift at the club twice a week, squat bench then deadlift both days
first day after warm ups i do three working sets for the squat and bench, 2 for the deadlift
second day i cut the volume so 2 working sets for SQ and bench 1 or 2 for DL if i feel like it
i follow a 4 week cycle
week 1 sets of 5 about 80% of my max, week 2 sets of three at 85%, week 3 sets of 2 at 90%, week 4 singles as high as i feel like going normally 95% or so
then an easy week and repeat trying to use heavier weights or do more reps, today should have been 3 reps but went for sets of 4 with the same weight instead, (bench was different was meant to get 255 for 3, got it for 4 reps so went for a heavy double)
once or twice a week at home i do heavy band pulling work to balance out the benching
