Meet Recap It was a hot day and I was fired up! Highs and lows all over in this meet. Squats: Got called high on 507 so had @notmrsdonjohnson help me with depth and secured my first 500+ squat in the books. Bench: Took 385 for an easy opener and the pressed 402 to secure my first 400+ bench in the books. Took 424 for my 3rd and got red lights. I think I could take this again in November and get it. Deadlift: Ran late coming back and had to throw my opener. @notmrsdonjohnson coming in clutch again and helped me warm up in 2 sets, then took 435 for an easy opener and took my token 457 for the day. Guess I'll have to wait until November to beat my 474. Despite some set backs I still took home the gold for the 220 equipped open division. 5/9, 11lb meet PR on squat, 39 meet PR on bench, 1366 total, 33lb meet PR for total. Still chasing 1400 in November. Extra special thanks to @jennmxiong for supplying extra snacks and drinks, recording, keeping me fed, and running all the way back home to get my singlet because I'm dumb and forgot it. Thank you @upa_events_ and @billypress for another great meet! #madtownfitness #professionalidiot #powerlifting #squat #bench #deadlift #sumodeadlift #equippedlifting #gearedlifting #rawiseasy #2fat #2furious #upa (at Grand River Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRhJ-i3Au-t/?utm_medium=tumblr

Another meet, another medal for the equipped division. New best on squat, new best on bench, and a new total on the board. As soon as me and @jennmxiong figure out some technical difficulties I'll post a meet recap. Until then it feels good to conquer the meet that bested me two years ago. #minihulk #2fat #2furious #professionalidiot #upa #powerlifting #winnerwinnerchickendinner (at Grand Harbor Resort) https://www.instagram.com/p/CResVmYgOX0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Full Body Workout Program continues to be weird, an upper and lower day mixed together. Max Effort Upper Deload: 385 to a 2 board in the slingshot. This was a 20 lb PR for this variation. Triphasic Lower Deload: 285 for 2×3 against mini bands. #madtownfitness #professionalidiot #powerlifting #bench #minihulk #2fat #2furious #squat #monolift #passiontrumpseverything #bandedsquats #boardpress (at Madtown Fitness) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRVS1UuAFra/?utm_medium=tumblr

Max Effort Lower Program got weird towards the end and had max Effort Lower twice, with the second being a deload. Training is between 2 days back to back. Squats: 507 for a strong single then backdowns of 457 for 2×1. Deadlifts: 3×1 at 407 Squats Deload: 505 for a walked single, not bad for walked and a slightly more narrow stance. Deadlifts Deload: 435 for a picture perfect single. #madtownfitness #professionalidiot #powerlifting #squat #deadlift #minihulk #2fat #2furious #monolift #rawiseasy #maxeffort #maxeffortmethod #walkitout #doughnutsanddeadlifts #immaboss #passiontrumpseverything #equippedlifting #gearedlifting (at Madtown Fitness) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRVRmxSgA1r/?utm_medium=tumblr

Triphasic Lower Ballistic Squats Used the SSB tonight and used a little less band tension. These reps looked pretty good on the last set and they were deep. Things are coming together well for the meet. Ballistic Squats: 4×3 at 285 against mini bands with the SSB #madtownfitness #professionalidiot #powerlifting #ssb #squat #monolift #passiontrumpseverything #minihulk #2fat #2furious #ballisticsquats #triphasic #triphasictraining (at Madtown Fitness) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ-PQ-XAZpR/?utm_medium=tumblr

Triphasic Upper Ballistic Benching Playing with a new leg drive while the weight is light. Anything that keeps my butt on the bench I'm a fan of. Ballistic Bench: 4×3 at 235 pressing just before touching. These look faster and easier each week I do these. #madtownfitness #professionalidiot #powerlifting #bench #minihulk #2fat #2furious #ballisticbench #triphasic #triphasictraining https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ9z8mmgaQi/?utm_medium=tumblr

Max Effort Lower Week 11 Max Effort Deadlifts Found me a decent opener for the meet, then did 90% of that for a double. Squats after at 3×5 in suit bottoms. Sunk these deep even at moderate weight so feeling good about doing the same on my attempts. #madtownfitness #professionalidiot #powerlifting #rawiseasy #squat #monolift #passiontrumpseverything #minihulk #2fat #2furious #deadlift #doughnutsanddeadlifts #sumodeadlift #equippedlifting #gearedlifting #maxeffort #maxeffortmethod (at Madtown Fitness) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ9zh-sglmL/?utm_medium=tumblr
