Phoenix Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Are there any powerlifters here?While I've never competed and don't plan to, I like to base my programs and chart my progress according to the three powerlifts.

andygates Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 You'll probably find more people deadlifting here than any other group of nerds!There's a clump of us who train that way - I've been using Wendler 5/3/1 happily for a while after graduating up from 5x5. In fact we're probably due another max challenge... Quote Link to comment

scotticus Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I definitely focus on the big three myself. The thought of competing at this point is a bit of a laugh, but I think that powerlifting interests me the most. Quote Link to comment
Gainsdalf the Whey Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 My workout is based around the big 3 powerlifts. day A: squat, bench, bent row, day B: squat, press, deadlift 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.

Knightwatch Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I was supposed to compete in something a couple moths back, but had to bail. Sadness. Oh well, maybe sometime.Like many, my program is built largely around the Big Three (and the Press).
