P funk, yea i guess recovery with that structure is a bonus. Cowpimp il look at your journal for sure, thanks for that.

Thanks P funk. Only problem with that il be completing the cycle once every 2weeks instead of one but i will give it a try. Squanto, i think your right i jus found out its not Deadlifting and squatting its either/or so they only do one a week. Westside is bit confusing but fact is it works so...

hi everyone, I hope someone can help as im tryin to put together a training programme for powerlifting. I was thinking of incorporating the Westide training methods of a speed day and maximum effort day. My workout looks like this at the moment - Monday - Heavy deadlifting, speed squatting...

I never noticed i put IBS thanks for that. lol. Yea il have to make another appointment in the new year as they r booked up at the moment. Il tell them to send me for an x ray to see what it is. I thought it may be a hernia and now im worried that they missed that and it might still be a hernia.

Hi everyone, Well what can i say, got an injury layed off the training and still in pain. Since then my weights have gone down so much gonna take me ages to get back up to my old weights. I got a pain in my groin area which apparently was an infection/ligament damage from low squatting. And...

Thanks cowpimp for the links....will keep me busy for a while. Monkey man.....you know what it is........when your like 16 you will try anything and everything to get there quick to get big and your so gullible its unbelievable. Its funny it was only until i brought a book called BRAWN that i...

Yea well good luck to them.......i wana be fit n healthy and live long LOL. I cant think of anythin worse than being real strong and people knowing it but you know in your own head you cheated....well like you said people will always find a way round testing. Im excited to be power lifting and...

Yea i no that as i have been told. It will take a while to learn how to use the suit properly. By cycle do you mean steroids.........because its drug tested here in the uk for the comp im hoping to enter. Besides im not willing to take any drugs i dont even take protein powders or anything 100%...

I dont really like the idea of suits either tbh. Thing is the british powerlifting championships allow suits to be worn and thats what i was hoping to enter (simply b/c a friend of mine was competing in this too) but i didnt know there were also comps with no suits. (are these drug tested too in...

That is very true P funk You need alot of weight to get down that low in a suit. If i compete raw i will be at a substantial disadvantage as I dont know of anyone from what ive seen compete raw. If i can compete raw with a very good weight ie better than those who compete with suits i will do it...

Yes thats what ive done now. Ive knocked the weight right down and squat as low as i can which is past parrallel and accelerate up for 3 reps. Il add 5kg every week and in about 3 months il be at about 160kg raw squat for 3 reps. Then i can learn how to use a suit and from what i see most...

Thanks squaggle...........im 22 and wish i trained properly years ago. I am training with a friend who is into powerlifting and in a month and a half have learnt alot and progress is good for me at the moment. As for my squat unfortunately the weight you see in my signature does not qualify for...

Yea Mudge i guess your right it wont last forever. May as well keep at that to bring up my total as my bench lets my total down a bit. Just out of interest Mudge how do you train legs.....do you use chains or elastic bands or neither. Im new to powerlifting and see alot of people using...

I agree with Cowpimp that is too much strain on your CNS........you will probably find that if you hold back a bit and train less often in the long run your gains will be much better and more consistent.

Thanks guys for all your advice......i am going to incorporate box squats and am sure this will build the strength needed at the bottom of the squat. To sam 'He does pirimids: 1 set 8 reps @ 85% of his one rep max. Then 1 set 3 reps @ 125% ORM. A last set same as the first.'...
