DYELB: The Gainz Train

[KiaGiver]

I'll have to give that a shot! Thanks, dude!

[Calvinball]

I initially read that as quality. I was about to say that you better not be half-repping these presses! in4videosoon

I read it that way too and almost face palmed. Touch your chest with the bar or gtfo.

I just go til upper arms are parallel to the ground.

I need to workout tomorrow. I think I have tendonitis or something, so I've been resting for the past couple weeks.

Even though 405 at my bodyweight isn't anything special, puling it for my deadlift has me wanting to do a powerlifting meet. A dude I used to know posted videos of his first meet, and he's bigger (fatter) than me, and can't lift as much as I can, but he somehow took gold in his meet. Seeing that pushed me towards wanting to compete too.

Tendonitis where?

Once my shoulder is 100% healed and I have no issues from my AC joint sprain, I plan to compete. I'm hoping that it'll recover and I'll have enough time to train my bench again for first quarter next year.

Yeah I'm looking up some meets now, only thing out here that I'm seeing is a big one next July. Something like that is probably a good idea, but I want to do one now lol.

There are a bunch of different federations, many of which are tested, so I don't know if that puts you in a different class, or DQs you.

Check out RPS, IPF, USAPL, among others.

Yeah the one I was looking at for July said that 10% of competitors are tested. If I do decide to compete I would abstain from takin anything between now and then.

Tendonitis where?

I feel it in my shoulder during certain movements like steering or loading anything 25lbs and over onto the bar. Total self-diagnosis after testing all arm and shoulder exercises: I think it's the tendon that connects my bicep to my shoulder.

It feels fine during deadlifts and I still have a full range of motion in my shoulder with no pain during any shoulder-isolated movements. But if I do anything that involves a curling motion it hurts. I'm blaming on taking zero time to warm up for the past few months. My own damn fault.

FACE PULLS ARE A GODSEND!

Yeah I was doing them usually 2x a week before. If I have no pain tomorrow I will definitely be doing some. They are probably my favorite shoulder exercise. Esp after a heavy bench day

Competing is fun; even doe I come in close to last.

I enjoy pushing myself doe.

Is that stuff based on weight classes?

[Jaxper]

Yessir. They vary from fed to fed, and are in KG, but they ROUGHLY translate to every 20lbs from 140 to 220.

What kinda numbers are competitive for 160-180 lbers?

I think you'd do really well with your squat numbers. I don't remember how much you're deadlifting of benching, but a 315 squat for 8 reps is a lot for 180lb weight class.

The dude who I was talking about took gold with a 354lb squat and probably weighs closer to 230

Without gear, probably looking at 1200-1400 lb totals.

Deadlift I was up to 285, bench 235. I'd probably need to back off a bit and work on form, but I'm just assuming my form needs work as I don't have anyone watching me. Also need to work on deeper reps, I'd guess.

I'm not really considering it, just curious what competitive folks can do at my weight.

More than happy to watch and give any critiques.
