New log, who dis?
My old log is a mess of programming and logging. I feel I've learned a ton about myself, my training, and programming in the last few months, spent months rehabbing my squat/DL and now I'm FINALLY over my persistent low back pain, and just finished my first meet, so I want to start a new log to celebrate a fresh new start to competition oriented programming. I feel more pumped and excited about training now than I ever have before.
I'll kick this log off with a meet recap:
My stats of as today: Male, 27yo, 5'7 / 170cm, 78.0kg / 172lbs, 34" waist, ~20%BF according to navy seal calculator.
Long term goals: slowly "fill out" the 83kg weight class over the next 3-5 years (83kg @ ~15%BF). So I've got about 8kg/17.5lbs of lean mass to gain and 2kg/4.5lbs of fat to lose lol... we'll see if my computer nerd genetics can do it
Then hopefully I will Squat and Deadlift 500+ and Bench 315 - lifetime milestones of mine.

I'll kick this log off with a meet recap:
- Did my first powerlifting meet ever on Dec 9 2018. It was a Canadian Powerlifting Union (CPU) / IPF sanctioned local meet
- I competed in the Men's Open 83kg, weighing in at 78.0kg
- Went 9/9 with a 165/105/182.5kg finish (364/231/402lbs)
- That's an all time high bar squat PR, all time bench PR, and matches my best gym DL PR. My 3rd attempt bench looked like a routine [email protected] lol. Pretty confident I had 110/242 in me that day, if only I had a 4th attempt, oh well, it was a PR nonetheless. The taper week caused my bench strength to skyrocket unbeknownst to me, I guess I was carrying way more pressing fatigue than I thought.
- There was almost 80 lifters total, placed 8th out of 10 in my class, 1st place had a 407 wilks vs my 320 or something. Meet MVP had a 472 wilks, so some strong dudes and dudettes showed up, it was cool (watching a 52kg woman squat 315 will always amaze me, and an unofficial Canadian squat record in one of the Masters I classes). Everyone there was extremely supportive and helpful, no matter how strong or weak they were, I hope it was a good representation of the powerlifting community as a whole.
