How many days do U train and for how long?? How long in between sets do U rest to get maximum power for the following set???

powerlifting is a little different and so am i. LOL!! my rest between sets would make most people puke. i don't keep track but i don't take many minutes rest on my accy days but on my ME days, i take more. i train 4 days. just started last week to pack on some mass. i really need to take longer rest and less movements and more heavy weight.

- tonite i fuckin scared some people with my rack pulls. i had to use straps because i didn't bring any chalk with me so instead of doin singles, i did doubles. next week i will lower it even more to see what i can do. i did 725 and missed 765, 7inches last week and did 700 and 735 this week lower so it would seem that i need work lockout work. did some high rep shrugs and then back work. i did 3 sets of 6 and next time i will do sets of 10. never did 120s on hammers for 2 sets of 10 which was huge for me. did legs extensions and abs and was done. listening to dope's "i'm back" is now my deadliftin music! its fuckin badass!

--still more tech work this from this past sunday and man i hate leaving ME bench day with a lot of pounds on the bar but shit has to get right and i need to quit bein a fuckin retard and learn how to touch which i did. 625 was no problem...moved faster. tonite did some speed work. wanted to see where my repouts were after speed work. normally, they are 20. tonite after speed work, it was 25. i was stoked! did some db flyes and pec deck. did an old school movement called REVERSE-CLOSE-GRIP shoulder presses. for a lot of powerlifters, they have problems with their palms facing them. funny. 165 was tough with the bar in the webspacing in your hand but it hits solely the front delt. did some light side laterals with 70s and tricep work and was done. worked a fuckin 10hr workday today dealin with assholes and idiots who can care less about what phone they have. seems like monkeys would have a better chance of takin care of phones more than these dumbasses. oh well...

Ur repouts are strong. Nice post beastx. When exactly is the meet??
 
Great log man! I hope you keep the updates coming, because not many guys who train like you are willing to share their info. Lift hard and keep bending those bars!

800x2 800x2

***fuckin felt awesome to move some real weight like its my bitch. 800 felt lite and without knee wraps too. i usually go without knee wraps until i'm close to a meet cause i know i will bury depth with them. i go about 2 inches above parallel but these were reps. no worries there. on a side note, my partners(both 242s) were fuckin comparing their backs and traps last nite. this shit was funny to see. on has traps and the other has shoulders. so you can easily see who won out on this one. though there was said flexing going on but hard to see on camera. nice competitive spirt these two have and nice to have at a barbell club. would be nice for me to go head to head with another super in training....but shit is what it is...

I love following this log beast, it's been very interesting to see how you heavyweights like to get down in the weight room. The only thing that sucks is I don't even wanna post my numbers anymore, lol.

? for ya. Do you ever train on a below parrallel box and is it very helpful for more power out of the hole and for building strength in the hammy's. Also do you do any grip work and what's your take on wrist straps for Dl's?

That was some funny shit about your partners flexing in the mirror and what not.

i used to train off a box but was causing issues hittin depth so we train without the box. that shit has been soo much better cause i'm hittin depth or close to it more and more.

i used to do grip work(extreme grip work) like bending nails. i should go back to that cause holding weight in my hands was never a problem. yea...i bent some fuckin nails...like 100 in one sitting.

***tonite i just had to get some weight in my fuckin hands cause with all the benchin issues as of late, i was about to go insane. did some reverse bands and worked up to a PR of 765 for 3(at the bottom was 565). the weight didn't feel heavy to my surprise. maybe it was the pslin, powerfull, and perfect carb i was on before i lifted. then a fuckin hairy human being that called himself a lifter came up to me and told me i was using too much weight on the bar and can't do that. i think i was about to snap his ass in two. no fuckin wonder people in this city have low fuckin standards and prefer to be normal. my god! sorry. well i had to back the weight down for a set of 675 for 5 and then took off the lights and used just the minis and did 405 for 12, 500 for 5 and 500 for 3. somewhere in there i kindly asked a skinny douchebag to help me hold the bar in place. i might as well be speakin a different fuckin language cause he didn't understand and he said he was with a "client". i so wanted to break his ass as well! anyways, i did some ICG presses which is a combination of jm press/close-grip bench. this was awesome. not many movements can pre-exhaust my strong-ass triceps. awesome shit. moved onto dips and pushdowns and shoulders and was done. did 120s for 2 sets of 5. i think i might have scared a few people when i did those. oh well, tommorrow is dead day...oh and i almost forgot...when i did the 765 i was goin for the 4th rep when the plates fell off. awesome shit! terrorizing the gym...

***got up early this morning to hit a session with some old school powerlifters. the session was definitely old school for sure. hammering out back with 4 movements which i haven't done in a while and then did rack deads and hit 880 for 3 easy. finished up with some hammers, legs, and abs and i was done. best damn session i had in a while. last nite i was really motivated by a fellow super, seth coker. he was really enthusiastic about powerlifting which got me talkin a good bit and then this morning got to talkin with another powerlifter who has done the sport longer than i have and still love it. goes to show ya, we are a different breed from the rest...the gym i trained at was defintely hardcore for gym. it was the only one i hadn't gone to. reason being was they don't do guest passes or fees. WHAT?!? yea i said the same. i would love to train there but the membership is about $50 a month....but i do like the look of old equipment and nuthin but plates and bars around. they even had a old school squat rack for squats and push presses. badass..i love it. i hope i can go back there soon.

old school....
