I joined the SJSU powerlifting team.
I don't know if I'm competing in 74kg or 83kg--I plan on putting on muscle all winter so hopefully I get into the upper 170s soon. By the time competition season starts I really want to be putting up some numbers.
Current (75kg)
Deadlift: 405 (This was yesterday, after at least four heavy sets and another failed set at 405. I can do more.)
Squat: 355 (Squats have always comparatively been my best lift. After lifting in Adidas PLs yesterday I feel like my form is imperfect and my numbers can improve dramatically--I use my back more than I should when I squat, and my legs are definitely the strongest part of my anatomy.)
Bench: 225
(985)
Goal by November (75-80kg?)
Deadlift: 455
Squat: 385
Bench: 245
(1085)
Can I add 100lbs to my three major lifts in two months? I dunno. I'm being coached by my teammate who won collegiate nationals in the 66kg division. I think I'm going to make some quick progress at the beginning, but I'll slow down pretty fast. Regardless, I'm excited.
