Keosawa's Powerlifting Log

i come in here right before i go to the gym... adds 15lbs to all my lifts. haha~!

when you have time, what is your "Westside/5/3/1 hybrid phase"? thanks, much appreciated.
 
I doubt that you care. But I was browsing BB.com today, and I happened across a thread in the powerlifting section asking if "you respect the lower weightclasses in powerlifting" (yea i know, dumbass thread lol)

Anyways, thought it was awesome that you popped up on the first page with the subtext. "little fuker is strong as chit!" under your deadlift video. haha Just thought it was worth sharing :D
 
your dl speed is insane.

exactly. With those forums, you either need to be able to get in and get out or nothing.
Time spent lingering becomes torture.
 
Kevin trains with Keo, IIRC. Pretty sure it's too late, G. He's probably taken Mr.Dreamboat on a ton of romantic candle lit dinners.

Well shit, sorry I couldn't inform you about this earlier BE! Tough luck... :D
 
Apology accepted belph! Is that Jennifer Lawrence?
 
holy lord, BB.com comes through for another good run of entertainment. I mean, alright, a lot of the mentalities in that thread are actually very heartening to see. I admit that I spent a portion of my workout yesterday struggling with this very issue on a psychological level. It doesn't really matter if anyone respects me and my lifting as a lightweight (not even bringing the gender card into the equation here), but sometimes I have a hard time making myself buy into that.

Also, Keo's moustache in that vid...

Basically, I just used a 5/3/1 rep scheme for my ME day on Westside. On week one, I'd work up to a five-rep max; on week two, a three-rep max; on week three, a one-rep max. So, for one three-week wave, I might floor press, working up, again, to five-, three-, and one-rep maxes on consecutive week. The next mesocycle, I might do a close-grip press; the session after, overhead press, and so on. Eventually, I'd get back to an original exercise and try to break all my rep maxes.

So, the concept is pretty simple; you run Westside as it's proscribed, except that you're working towards rep maxes on you ME days for most weeks. It's a way to introduce more volume into the programming while retaining high-intensity and high-exertion work.
 
You got your girlfriend a strength seminar with world-class powerlifters.... awesome. I'm probably getting my wife hoop earrings :icon_lol:
