Yeah...DB rocks. Bench: 225 Squat: 325 Dead: 405

Who are you asking?

Nice...that's gotta be good motivation. :)

From a PL perspective, a deadlift isn't necessarily a SLDL. You'll use leg drive in addition to pure back. I'm lucky in that I recover quickly, usually a couple days, max. I love deadlifts. As a hardgainer, I don't know that difficulty in gaining necessarily stems from doing one type of...

Very nice! My b/f was up around 15/16%, I think, and it was all gut. My chest needs some development, and I have a large ribcage, so it was even more prominent. Got to have a little vanity. :)

I'm a Westsider, have been since I started powerlifting. I'm just curious to know what other PL'ers have tried. Do you bench with PL form? I eat probably around 3-4000 calories a day because I do want to be over 200lbs. The problem I ran into was I was overeating, and gained more fat than I...

I would say do them on back day, presuming you're not doing seated gm's.

How long have you been following your Coan hybrid, and what do you think of it?

I train as a PL'er in a basement, so we're 100% PL. The commercial gym that we go to on occasion has no powerlifters that I'm aware of. Just no good equipment for it, and they don't allow chalk.

Yep...I've competed in the 198 class, only been at it for about a year. I'm working on getting my numbers up to a more competitive level.
