All right, so as you all know by now, I have had to cancel going to nationals. So, never one to give up entirely, I have my eyes set on the regional championship on September 9th.
I'm switching off of my main power program and using a program similar to the one I employed in Hungary. And I have to say I am liking the results so far. I am maintaining all strength levels on the three competition lifts, but I have knocked a solid inch off of my waist, built my calves up by half an inch, maintained all muscle mass in my shoulders, chest, and biceps, and still managed to cut my entire body fat down by a full half percent while dropping almost thirteen pounds. (Check out the numbers on my fitness goals page).
So, not only am I hoping to do well at regionals, but I am training hard and trying to get down to the 240 weight class. It's more competitive than the 275 class, but I think I will be in good shape for it. The plan is to use my two main routines in an alternating pattern so I should drop a lot more fat and hopefully increase my lifts by the time September rolls around.
Wish me luck!
Now, I am going down to the gym -- it's time to train.
I am a drug-free powerlifter. After a 14 year layoff, I have once again started competing. I won the 2016 Rocky Mountain Regionals, 2017 Utah State, and took 3rd at the Drug-tested Nationals. The goal of this blog is to relay some information that I have found helpful so that other busy dads can get back into the game, whether they are powerlifting, or getting back into shape.
