Yeah speed deads are tricky and easy to pull something if you don't know what you are doing since you need to go from stop to start as fast as possible, alot of people tend to jerk and hurt something. hows the shoulder doing?

Yah, Iv had worse, If I didnt have gone back and done the squats I would have been pissed off all evening. I prefer the mecahnical advantage extended sets for squats as opposed to the drop sets. Doing the 3x4 front squats then straight into 3x10 back squats means I can go heavy and get the high reps in too. I hate low weight high rep squats.

But man my glutes are sore already and its only 2 hours since I left the gym!

My diet has sucked lately, really bad. Need to sort it out. I need to start taking lunch to school instead of buying stuff there too. Im gonna post up what I ate today later on.

***PL RECORDS***

I found the British Drug Free Powerlifting Association website earlier and Im not sure if these are right as it was kinda hard to understand but the table on the record page said this about my weight class:

TEENAGE 1 (14-15 yrs) EQUIPPED
Weight - 82.5
Squat - 160 - LYNG Andrew (1998)
BenchPress - 100 - NUTKINS Gavin (1993)
Deadlift - 185 - LYNG Andrew (1998)
Total - 430 - LYNG Andrew (1998)

Now I assume the numbers are in KG, as its British. Im 15 next week so Iv got pretty much 1 year till I turn 16 and go up to the 16-17 weight class.

My PR's are:
ATG Squat: 95kg x 3
Parrallel Squat: 100kg x 4
Deadlift: 110kg x 6 + Deficit Deadlift 105kg x 6
Benchpress: 85kg x 4

So I think in a year getting a 100kg x 1 benchpress is do able for sure. That Squat will be hard though...

Maybe Im thinking too big, I dont know.

Alternatively if I could drop 15lbs bodyweight I could go into the 75kg weight class and the records there are:
Squat 145kg
Benchpress 65kg
Deadlift 170kg
Total 375kg

But dropping 15lbs will be hard and not sure how much strength I would loose...

thoughts?

Edit: I just looked at the bottom of the spreadsheet and there are lots of differant pages. Titled GBR Mens E-P, GBR Mens U-P, GBR Mens E-S, GBR Mens U-S. Anyone know what all of these mean?

I have no idea what that means.

I would not recommend cutting weight to drop a weight class. Just try and get stronger for yourself. If you decide to compete and you break records that's great. You should be in competition with yourself though. Always trying to better your last performance.

 

[artificialaspirations]

you've gotten a lot stronger. keep it upo and REST THAT SHOULDER!!!

I wish i was 15 again

 

[bblazer]

Cutting weight for this is a no, no. Put on the weight. If you look at US records, you will see only about a 50 lb difference between the 220 & 242 High School records, while 168 & 198 are MUCH more competitive (since that is where most of the high school population is).

I have no idea what the other stuff means either.

One thing to keep in mind, is that in PLing - especially when starting out - is that the only records you need to worry about are your own PRs. If every time you go to a meet you hit a PR you have won. Period. Eventually the records will come. You are a young buck, with a few more years that you can train to get them. So far it seems that you have a pretty good start on the competition.
