Shane's Journey to 2800

[bobbyorr]

I have my own section in the Q and A so I thought I should keep a log on here too so everyone can see all the crap I do (and don't do)

I haven't trained in about 3 weeks becasue I have had 2 meets in a row... I HATE IT... I want to get back in the gym and work.... My training partners are soon going to disown me

I'm in Brantford, Ontario this weekend... I hope to see some of you guys and girls there!!!

Yet another meet write up

This one went a lot better than the last one that is for sure…

First, I went down early to help out with the Special Olympians Powerlifting meet that ran on Saturday the 5th.

The meet ran well, and all the athletes had a great time.

Big thanks to David Gratton for the great meet.



Now for my meet.

Weighed in at 114.5, I had no intensions on cutting weight for this one as the one in England beat me up good.

Squat warm up went exactly as planned, opened with 385 kg and cut it high. I had Jay “the deep squatter” Nera wrapping my knees and he had never wrapped before, so they were terrible the first go ha-ha.

But, the weight was nothing on my back so I went to 395kg and hit it with 2 whites. I was still a little high but I will take it.

Third I got greedy as usual, and went to 435kg I think and when I went to do my dip I was too high and it buckled my knee in.

So 20 kg higher on the squat

After the bench warm up, I dropped my opener to 240 from 250 because I was not feeling the shirt.

240 went up as a grinder. That was it in the bench. I tried 250 twice and neither were even close, the shirt was dead off the chest.

Another 7.5 kg higher than worlds

Deadlift, warm up went just as I had wanted. I opened at 290 kg, It felt heavy but it was easy, and I was tired by this point because it had been a long day. Went to 305 next, I was fired up for this one and smashed it, I forgot to even do up my belt!!!

Jumped to 320 kg because I want to pull 700 lbs for the first time, no luck, at the lock out the bar turned a bit and tore 2 of my calluses off my left hand.

305 is a nice jump from the

So, my new total PR is 940 kgs or 2072 lbs. This is a 116 lbs jump from worlds a couple of weeks ago.


There was some great lifts also there too..

Big Mike Guay, from Montreal benched 700 lbs in the 308 weight class, not bad for 21 years old

My training partner PaulV, and his really hot wife, Sarah, each won their weight class as well as winning the best overall lifter in the RAW division.


Now its time to recoup and get ready for my next meet!!! Where ever it might be!!!

Thursday Dec 10th

Upper body recovery

I’m getting over a problematic right AC joint, so I wanted to keep it simple today.

Dumbbell military for 5 reps, started with some 25’s for a warm up

then:

40x5
45x5
50x5
55x5
60x5
70x5
75x5
80x5
90x5
100x3

These all felt great, I just had nothing left in the tank on the hundreds, but I’m really happy with this. I also worked in 4 sets of 20 in the lat pull down while this was going on.

then Supersets with

face pulls and Diesel Crew shrugs with the 60’s and the green bands.

That’s it, I forgot to do my row, but that will come eventually
