Default Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3

Well since I have been sitting around being a bum thanks to this cold which still hasnt gone away, figured I'd post some of the crap I have been thinking about.

Full Meet plans for April or May.
Goals before meet (gym lifts)
-I want to hit these goals before I start messing around with powerlifting gear, and yes I plan to jump right into double ply work.
With the meet dates ahead, I would need to hit my numbers by mid to end of February to give me enough time to deload then peak going into a meet.
Bench 500
Squat 600
Pull 650

Bench is a long way off, and I feel that getting 500 before a meet is a large goal. I more than likely will plan on hitting something in the 475 range and maybe trying 500 at a meet, which will most likely be a 3rd attempt if I get that far.
Squat is extremely close. Figuring I have barely used knee wraps in the last 4 months. I am more than confident that working up to 600 with knee wraps is doable now. I would like to hit 600 soon and maybe hit 625 before a meet.
Pull is also extremely close. I have pulled against band tension and chains that has been close to 650. It is harder to pull straight weight sometimes but I feel that this is doable also. With that said. I wouldnt be suprised to hit 650 on a 2nd attempt at a meet. If I do 700 will be my 3rd attempt.

As always brothers, keep training hard. Thanks for listening
