Well, it begins tomorrow. I had no plans to do this until recently. In fact, I was dead set against running the injury risks of strength training ever again but I cant help it.
I dont build muscle easily, but I do have a gift in the CNS department. I have spent the majority of my "lifting career" with a lack of dedication to my overall health so it's time to see what this body is capable of one time. That way I dont have to look back and wonder.
So Im going to finalize plans to compete in a push-pull powerlifting meet on may 11. Im going to bench for strength and deadlift for strength but continue to push for hypertrophy as well. Ive asked for advice from the more experienced guys and will continue to do so but I plan to do my programming on my own.
Im also going to do all this at low bodyfat. Ive dropped about 8 lbs since ending my bulk at 240 and plan to possibly lose just a little more as spring begins. We will see.
My goal right now is a combined weight of 1k pounds. 400 bench/600 deadlift but that may change. I will max out on monday to see where Im at because I have no clue what Ill bench with a pause rep. I know my deadlift max is currently 545. I think that goal is a little conservative but I dont want to start out with something totally unrealistic.
Im only going to log my bench and deadlift routines here.
Deadlifts and legs tomorrow. Let's go!
