Right on! Wherever you are be safe man, all of ya:thumb:

Id say whatever your doing stay with it... F-me those are impressive numbers in a short amount of time.

I was wrong on his weight... He signed up for the same powerlifting meet as me at 325. Either I didn't here him correctly or he has a hell of a cut to make:eek:

I'm closer to a 2X bw bench than he is but 500 pounds on a bar is impressive no matter what size the man.

Its pretty safe over where I am right now. Better than my last three.

I remember in high school being 172 and my coach would push me to do squats heavy. Was doing 405 for 10 reps. I honestly dont think I was doing them right though from what I remember. lol I am now, going down to 90 and all. I'm always up to trying new programs though. Its not a lot of difference from what I was doing, just more times a week. We will see in time as this is the end of week 1 for me and my workout partner.

Very true though, 500 bench is very impressive to me regardless of the body weight. 500 much of any of the three is impressive. I had literally the whole gym watching me when I did the 500. Didn't pay any attention to that, was in the zone...

Probably 13-15%ish I have never had it formally checked but I have been packing on some muscle and fat trying to get my F-ing squat to go up:D Im at about 208 pounds right now. After this meet next weekend it's time to cut back down to 190-195.

I am not super low bf% but I do have little issue with hovering at my 220-230lb bw

Last week of my deadlift routine and I missed it :mad:

4x4x455
2x515
1x565 <- should have been two

I think I def could have gotten that last one, but, sloppy form leads to breaking shit so, next week.

how are you guys at such a low BF % without cardio?
Click to expand...

No cardio for me until after next weekend... Cardio can be counterproductive to a powerlifter... Besides my knees are sore for a couple days after heavy squatting. The last thing I want to do is run on them:D

I lowered my body fat before with just heavy lifting, supersets and high intensity cardio once or twice a week. Diet is more important than anything for leanness, abs aren't built in the gym, there built in the kitchen...

You guys and your deadlift anger me lol.

Ok so now to find a deadlift program.

I pulled 425x1 today and everyone one in the gym watched like wtf is going on.. If I had another pair of plates on there I don't know what they would think..

I'm eating everything I can currently... 2-3 50 gram protein shakes a day & normal meals. Usually a monster salad with Chicken, Chicken, Bison Burger and Sweet Potato or rice. I eat a lot of calories but try to limit them to good whole foods, very little cheese & bread.

After this meet I will start cutting down. I want to maintain my strength and muscle as much as possible while losing fat. I will start counting calories, macros & body fat as I go.

Albert I would do some reading on protein intake. There is no need to take in more than about 1g/kg. Lots of old NFL athletes ended up on dialysis when the high protein fad came out and new studies are showing that athletes take in way more than is needed. For example when calculating basal energy expenditure plus stress expenditure on a burn patient, more than 1.5g/kg is rarely beneficial in lean mass maintenance as protein ends up becoming a caloric source vs a nitrogen source in excess. That being said, your caloric and protein needs will not exceed that of a burn patient for lean mass requirements.
