Stonefist Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Well, I did it. As expected, it was #powertybench and #powertysquat, but seeing as how I only recently got the equipment set up for those two lifts, I can't really be too disappointed.

Why not? Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Well that did not go as planned. When I saw the February competition back in March, right after I had PR'd my snatch by 15#, I got excited. Welp, this one was 35# lower than that. C&J was 20# off the PR I set 16 months ago as well. Pretty disappointing overall, but I suppose they can't all be good days.

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted July 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Anyone else planning on lifting in competition in the coming weeks? I won't be able to get my attempts in until probably Thursday or Friday, so they won't count for competition, but I'll be doing them. Is that all we're getting for the Oly competition this time?

Niccolo Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 I don't have any upcoming competitions, and I've been super busy the last few months (and at least the next month). So, I won't be able to compete this time around. Good job, everyone!

miss_marissa Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Was planning on participating in all 3, but just hadn't yet got around to it. Added my lifts from push/pull on June 4 instead.

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted July 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Ended up feeling really good on my squats yesterday, so I went for it. 405 flew. 445 was slowing, but form was spot on. 475 was a grind, but I got it, solid form. Maybe had 5-10 more in me, probably just 5. I found warming up with just spot on form singles really helped when I got to the actual lifts. I did 135x5, 185x1, 225x1, 275x1, 315x1, 365x1 leafing up to my first attempt. Bench didn't go as well. I think I didn't have enough rest after my 315 second attempt and failed 330 at the sticking point. Part of the issue was my back cramping hard when I was struggling through, but not sure I'd have had it anyway. It happens every time I get near maximal, I need to figure out how to warm that area up better or something. Deadlifts will be tomorrow for me. 1 Quote Massrandir, Barkûn, Swolórin, The Whey Pilgrim 500 / 330 / 625 Challenges: 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 31 32 34 35 36 39 41 42 45 46 47 48 49 Current Challenge "No citizen has a right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training.

Whaddaya know, I'm still alive! I did some lifts last weekend - 77/80/83x and 94/97/100x at 83 bodyweight. So so numbers for me - neither horrible nor great. I don't have access to the spreadsheet though - can someone punch me in? 7 Quote Challenge thread Link to comment
stepping_out Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 Alright so, did openers today, this is the plan as of now, but will obviously change on the day depending on how things go. I include contingencies to satisfy my OCD tendencies. Squat: 130, 140, 150 if I feel like today, which hopefully I won't because I'm very tired. My preferred plan: 135, 145, 155. We'll see. Bench: 55, 60, 62.5. Don't think that'll change on the day, my bench is what it is, which isn't very much! Deadlift: 140, 150, 160. Or if things go really well: 140, 152.5, 165??? Maybe. I know I can get 160, I don't know if I can get 165. Excited for this competition, feeling a lot more prepared and positive. 4 Quote Link to comment
stepping_out Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Donesies! BW 95.5 (I think, need to confirm when scoresheet is published, but it's either this or very close either direction.) Squat 130, 140, 150 - felt easy, should have gone heavier, but never mind! Bench 55, 60, 65x - could maybe have gotten 62.5 but yolo. Deadlift 140, 150x (hitch, much annoy), 150. Was not feeling these today, very hot. Overall, very pleased - and finally cracked 300 Wilks. 9 Quote Link to comment

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted August 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Sorry for the delay everyone! The only change on the powerlifting side is that NatetheStrong took the men's bench title from wildross. However, both he and SpecialSundae significantly improved many of their lifts. Congrats to both of them! After a nice showing in weightlifting, we only had 3 competitors this time around, neither of the defending champs participating. The women's spot is now vacant as we unfortunately had no female competitors. For the men, the competition was close! msuroo edged out Why not? for the overall title by just 0.1 Sinclair points!
