As of early 2013, we are still in the process of rebooting unto the new platform

If you want to keep track of the relaunch you can:

  1. Like us on Facebook
  2. Follow us on Twitter
  3. Send me (Kris) an e-mail and let me know that you'd like to join the new site when it is ready.

Once we are ready to relaunch, we will start spreading the word. Until then, expect silence to mean we are heads down coding. :) The forum is still open for active members, but don't expect a lot of activity here since meets are currently on hold.

Very strong lifting for someone who has only been doing pure powerlifting for a year! Looking good.

Thanks Kris. I had been lifting for some time though not for powerlifting purposes.

Returned yesterday night from greece. I will be training this week in a small gym which has thinner bars than the one I will use for the meet.

ME SQ / DL - 27.8.2007
Box Squats:
Worked up to
1 x 1 @ 150 kg (easy)
Gym does not have any safety devices for Squatting, so I did not go heavier.

Sumo DL standing on 50 kg plates:
Worked up to 1 x 1 @ 210 kg

Sumo DL (not standing on plates):
1 x 1 @ 220 kg
1 x 1 @ 225 kg

Cable Crunches:
5 x 5

It seems the vacation and rest worked for me. Must be something they put in the Ouzo or Gyro. Smiley
I hope I can repeat the Sumo DL with my bar at my home gym.

After doing some analyzing after the meet, I figured that while my DL did improve with the current program, my bench actually got worse. That coming from not benching often enough. So I switched to a 4 day split using the Westside for skinny bastards III template as a guideline.
On my next trip to the US I am planning to buy some bands, so I can incorporate these as well.
