Starting a new log. I'll be trying to hit some decent numbers at a meet in late March or early April.
Thursday, December 29, 2005 - BP
BP: bar x 10-20 x 2sets, 135 x 6 x 2sets, 225 x 5, 240 x 3, 225 x 3 x 2sets
Bent Over DB Laterals: 10lbs x 10 x 4sets
Pull-Downs: 140lbs x 10, 160 x 10, 180 x 10, 200 x 10
A child does not learn to squat from the top down. In other words, he does not suddenly make a conscious decision one day to squat. Actually, he is squatting one day and make the conscious decision to stand. Squatting precedes standing in the developmental sequence. This is the way a child's brain learns to use the body as the child develops movement patterns. Therefore, a child is probably crawling, rocks back into a squatting position with the back completely relaxed and the hips completely flexed, and stands when he has enough hip strength. This approach makes a lot of sense and can be applied to relearning the deep squat movement if it is lost. -Gray Cook

Is that supposed to be 2005 in the thread name?
Full Powerlifting
Squat - 595lbs -- 270kg -- Dec. 31, '09 (Provincial Record @100kg class)
Bench - 374lbs -- 170kg -- Dec 20, '08 (@100kg class)

You have me stumped... The log started yesterday. I'm not sure what you mean.
edit: Ok, I got it. Basically the title is "From December 29, 2005 until my next powerlifting meet whenever that is" - at least that's what it's supposed to mean.

Which meet are you going to be in Sensei?
I haven't decided yet, but I'm looking at a NASA meet in late March, or (if they have it again) an APF meet in early April. If you know of any meets around that time in the NE, IL, IA, or MN area, let me know. Thanks.

Sunday, January 1, 2005 - SQ
SQ: bar x 6, 135 x 6, 225 x 6, 315 x 3 x 3sets*
Ab Pulldowns: 100lbs x 10 x 3sets
Hyperextensions: x10 x 3sets
Green Band Leg Curls: x10 x 3sets
*= w. belt
My squat form has changed since my hamstring/hip injury - my knees tend to track more in front of my toes and I use a narrower stance. Right now, I'm trying to return to a wider, sitting back, PL-style squat.
Everything felt crummy today - probably being out late last night didn't help things much.

Thanks Lilmase!
If my hamstring holds up and the training goes well, and I end up going to the NASA meet, then I'll realistically be looking at something like 510/340/500, assuming I can get my bench shirt figured out by then. I'd be pretty happy with that and the bench, DL and total would be PRs.
If it's APF, then probably +50lbs for my squat (w. the monolift and briefs).

A 10" box puts me well below parallel. I really focused on sitting back - hip flexibility will need some work, but everything went pretty well.

Good effort on the box squats!
Thanks Risk - I'll post a video of it probably later tonight.

Sensei- How do those Windmills help you with your big 3 ?
(Remember I am a moron so don't get offended.)
I notice you have always done them.

To be totally honest, I don't know if they help or not. They do work the obliques pretty hard, and the hips and hamstrings somewhat. My lower back is feeling pretty strong these days, so I think I can at least somewhat attribute that to the windmills...
Right now, they're the one thing I can do at home anytime I want, so I do them as just extra core work on my days off from the gym...
