Powerlifting Training 1/23/19 - Squats

1/23/2019

Tonight's training was at the 24 Hour Fitness Super Sport gym in Walnut, CA. Based on my training from last week, the bench workout from this week, and the warm up from today, I thought I was primed to go and do 635lbs for 3 reps, but the weight felt heavy, so I had to drop the weight and do some reps. I stretched out throughout the day, but I think I probably didn't eat as much from yesterday and today. Also, I tried to go lower on depth, since I squat high in training. I will go back down on weight during the next training session and work on reps from this point on until next month.

At least I hit 700lbs this month on the squat, so I'll leave it at that, but I still want to try for 655lbs on the deadlift by the end of the month. I'm looking to compete at the USPA-IPL Anaheim Fit Expo Drug Tested meet. I can set world records there and I'm in line to break the world record on the squat at 275lbs for the open division. The other records seem pretty high, but I can also break some state and national records as well. I don't know on who will show up to the meet, but there will be cash prizes for the top lifters.

I'm currently at 294lbs, so I have time to drop some weight, but I will stay around this weight for the next couple of months to build up strength. This will be my first competition for the year, whether it be powerlifting or Jiu Jitsu. I'm pretty excited about the meet, but I will need to stay discipline on the diet so I don't gain any more weight and I need to stay away from singles in the meantime on the squat.
