where: Gatlinburg TN
Federation: Southern Powerlifting Federation
event: RecordBreakers
class: Raw/Masters 40-44
weight: not sure as of yet. would like to be in 242, but most likely 259 again
goals: 500+ squat/350 bench/500+ deadlift/minimum 1300 total
this will be my first meet ever using wraps and a belt. if they "help" like i keep reading, then the 500/500 shouldnt be an issue at all. im within a few lbs of both of those as of now with no wraps or belt.
whats everyone else got coming up next.

When: July 26th, 2014
Where: Lancaster, PA
Federation: RPS
Event: PA State Championships
Class: Open. A year until sub master status kicks in :laugh:
Division: Raw Modern (Raw+knee sleves or wraps. If you just wear sleeves you can qualify for raw without wraps numbers for various things. I can't give up the rehbands!)
Weight: On pace for 181
Goals: Squat: 325, Bench: 145, Deadlift 375 super goal 405
I just finished my first cycle of 531 after switching from mad cow. I tested my 1rm before I started and had 315 squat, 145 bench, and 360 dead although I blew an attempt at 375 that I'm pretty sure I could have had. I thought my back was rounding really badly, and I value my discs so I put it back down. My gym friends said form looked great. Weird. I'm feeling confident I can hit modest PR's 3 cycles out from the testing. My spreadsheet says my DL is estimated at 386 now thus the "super goal" of 405. Plus I really want to have a 4 plate DL.0 -

Federation: USPA
event: Powerlifting
class: Raw/Submaster 35-39
weight: 181 class
goals: to get my first meet "under my belt." And to not lose to a girl. Unless she's really strong and awesome. LOL0 -
when: Nov 2014
where: Dallas, TX
Federation: NASA
event: SubMasters/Masters Nationals
class: Raw/Masters 40-44
weight: i am hoping for 198. currently 222.
goals: 240 squat/150 bench/350 deadlift are my goals.
my %^&^%^& squat is dirving me nuts. I am doing a ton of SBS and cambered bar squats as well as doing lots of core training (flipping tires throwing tires from side to side, ab rollouts) so i won't flippin lean forward when it gets the least bit "heavy"
bench is definitely do'able. deadlift is a good goal. i'm at about 310 now. it's exciting going into this meet. my first one was sort of a test to see how i do under pressure. thankfully, i didn't freak out. haha.0 -
When: June 8, 2014
Where: Grand Rapids, MI
APF Sr Nationals
Wt: 165 so long as my cut goes well
Goals: 265 sq/ 175 bench/315 DL
Those are all big PRs and chances are I might hit 1/3. Would love a 750 total.
My main concern is that I tend to squat to just parallel, and you never know how the judging will go. I had been thinking of opening 235 but will most likely do 215 just to be safe.0 -

Where: Plano, TX
APF Show of Strength
Weight: Super Heavyweight 340lbs
Goals: 600+ Squat, 400+ Bench, 700+ Deadlift, 1700+ Total
My squat has been awesome lately, my deadlift is alrightish (which is strange because it's usually my best lift). I'm not much of a bench presser though

Psssh!!! "If they help" lol.
If 500/500 is within the realm of possibility without a belt and knee wraps then you'll smoke those numbers with them.0 -

thats good to know. i used the wraps in training for the first time the other day just to see how they feel. i had already done my complete working sets of 2x8 @ 335 and 5x2 @ 385. wrapped up my knees and did 405 for a very easy double, then 455 for a solid atg single. i am positive with just warm ups and building with some heavy singles i could blow by 500 pretty solidly. ill know in a couple weeks when max effort week rolls around in my program.0 -

Try letting your knees drift forward a bit more than usual in order to load them more. With a 455 ATG squat you could probably break 500 now if you were used to squatting in them and knew how to use them efficiently.0 -
got a little more time in with them yesterday. ended up with 455x3 for my final set. i have the video, ill have to see if i can get it on my youtube and link it. my son was giving me the up call, so i dont think i was going as deep as i needed though. i know i can get deeper with it and still triple it.0
