Anyone here do strength training? (1 Viewer)

So I just competed in my first ever powerlifting comp.

YouTube - Dan's first powerlifting comp. - 90-100kg Sub-Junior class

Nice work, looked like you had a lot more in the deadlift and squat

Your bench press surprised me, though

Also not getting the green light cos of a foot turning would arc me right up

Yeah thanks. I was pretty annoyed about the benching but that's life. I think I might be good for ~190 on the squat... but I guess I'd better hit 185 to depth first before I talk shit

I pulled a 230 deadlift today, which is good for the Sub-Junior National record in the 100-110kg weight class if I can weigh in at 100.1kg in mid-November (just after the HSC). Difficult eating ahead...

In a nutshell.

Because fatigue leaves at a rate x3 faster than fitness the compensation period allows you to come back stronger.

However this is only at advanced levels. Beginners can use linear progress (because their bodies adapt so fast it basically mimics dual factor theory anyway) and intermediates use this on a weekly basis (a heavy day, light day and medium day).

The 5x5 strength training site does a better job than me tho, check it out.

Good explanation. Looks like you've read Rippetoe's PPST
