Phase 2: 2010 Trifecta - Powerlifting Comp

[Down4whatever]

I completed phase 1 of the Trifecta on Sunday, April 25, 2010 as I conquered a full Marathon in under 4 hours.

Now onto phase 2 which is a Powelifting Competition in Arkansas on July 31, 2010. The federation is the Southern Powerlifting Federation or SPF

My training schedule will be Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday with cardio only one or two days per week and very short--mostly sprinting intervals as I'm trying to reach a goal in sprinting. The majority of the lifting will be for power/strength.

I plan to integrate some hypertrophy training after I get results from the Urologist next month. I had my T-levels checked by a GP and they came back 'normal' or 368 which I believe is not normal so I asked to be referred to a specialist. A discussion of this issue is highly anticipated in this thread!!

I plan to start out slowly moving back to regimented eating, but right now I'm enjoying eating without tracking anything. I'm guessing 2 weeks eating this way and I'll be ready for regimented eating again.

So, with the introduction out of the way, I'll get this journal under way. First session is tonight!

Thank you Paula; glad to be back!

Go for it, but don't keep fucking with us by starting a journal and then just bouncing on us, shit like that is not only fucking yourself up by not giving it your all, but also kind of fucked up to "us" that try and give you advise and help to keep you motivated.

Also Matt please don't turn this journal into a bunch of bullshit, seriously man, not many journals here for me to read that are of any substance.

Big ups Matt!

Forgot to mention:

I'll be competing in the Sub-Masters class under 198lbs.

I'm currently weighing 183.2lbs and I anticipate putting on 10lbs or less. Not in any hurry to add bodyfat.

Lift goals:

Bench - 310
Squat - 385
Deadlift - 480

Total - 1,175

Why 310 on the bench? That is weird number, basically it is 225lbs, 275lbs then 315lbs.

It's just goals--if I can do 315, I sure as hell will. I'm still doing rehab on the shoulder and current max is 250 and PR of 305, so I'm just hoping for a 5lb PR

If I get some kind of T-boost from the doc, goals will obviously change

So, I'm the only one who changed goals mid-stream based on life events? And that's labeled 'fucking with you'? I moved my journal over to BB.com because nobody over here gives a flying fuck about running.....

T-boost has done nothing for my strength Matt! If I can bench 185, I am very lucky that day, especially if you want me to touch my chest with the bar.

BTW, great talking with you the other day. I love the trifecta goal.

This is so cool Matt. That Marathon was awsome. Now its time to rip the tiles off the gym floor!!

Yeah man I can see what you mean by the running, I just meant the bodybuilding goals.

But fuck man I am not going to clutter your journal with bullshit, just do what you gotta do. As always I will keep an eye out on it and give feedback where I feel it is justified whether you like it or not.

Great...........I was hoping for a miracle. Oh well!

Yes, it was great to catch-up. Trifecta will be interesting if I can make the 3rd one work.....probably will regardless. I saw the 2010 NPC Lackland, TX is November 3rd--I have my eyes on that one for sure!

Hell ya Bill!! Thanks for the Marathon props; it feels good to conquer that goal! Looking forward to smashing some plates with no holds barred!

It's cool man! I just had a rough patch; I'm back for good! Keep it coming with the observations--and I'll keep the BS to a minimum!

[freebirdmac]

Glad to see you back Matt! Congrats on the marathon and good luck with the other two goals!

[HeavyDutyGuy]

Bet it will feel good not to have to do all that running and lift some heavy iron again! Good luck!

[Mac]

Good luck Matt. I will be watching your progress.
