I haven’t joined the challenge but I’ve been working on my 10k steps. I get up each morning to do a 20 minute walk at 4.1 mph. That really helps me get my steps in for the day. I’m also got invited to compete in the WABDL world final championship powerlifting meet in Las Vegas in November. I’ve got about 12 lbs to drop to make weight. I’m try…Read More

Thanks, my main hurdle is trying to get my macros right to where I can drop the weight slowly without loosing my strength gains. I”Today, I’m 211..I need to be 198 or under the morning before the meet. I can do a cut right before the meet and make weight, but at my last meet I feel it cost me the world record in bench. I’ve also got some major…Read More

Cass, the support that I need the most is accountability to push training and keep my nutrition in check lol. I’m open to any advice.
I’m pretty sure at this moment I will be breaking world records again…if I make weight lol

Awesome Brad! I just signed up for my first ever powerlifting meet. October 19th!! Got any suggestions for a program to follow.

Craig, that’s awesome. You will love it. The powerlifting community is very helpful and seems like everyone cheers everyone on. It’s addicting too me. October 19 is a good date. I’m getting married that day. Let me know how your meet goes.

MAPS Powerlifting from the guys at Mind Pump Media is a great program. I ran it last year but had to modify it slightly. I only have one hand ( I wear a Prothesis) so dumbbell work is pretty dangerous for me. I am currently doing a 3×5 at 75% to 90% 1RM for my squat, bench, and deadlift. I run 75% for a few weeks then bump up to 80%, then to 90%.…Read More

I have kinda fell off the wagon with my nutrition and fitness. I took a few months off of doing squats and deadlifts to allow my groin time to heal. I believe I’m all healed up and I have been working on getting my strength back up. I have a powerlifting competition in October that I’m hoping to do. I only have partial use of my right hand and los…Read More

One day at a time, brother. Don’t forget how quick strength comes back.

Update on my injury: Worked legs pretty good yesterday. I did not do squats( one of my favorite lifts) but I did do the leg Press squat machine. Got up to around 7 plates on each side. My groin injury is feeling good at the moment. Hopefully I’ll get to get back to my squats and powerlifting soon. I’ve got a meet at the end of June that I’m hoping to hit

Good morning everyone. I have taken a few weeks off from the gym to hopefully heal an injury that I have had going on with my groin for around 3 months, since before my last Powerlifting meet. I’m very hopeful that it’s better. I haven’t been able to squat in months or deadlift after the meet. I’m ready to get back to my normal routine. Anyone…Read More

brad! So sorry to hear you’ve had to take some time off for injuries! I’m hoping you are able to get back to it! Injuries are the absolute worst! I haven’t had groin issues since college soccer – but I remember pulling it and it was awful!
-
I’m not exactly sure what is going on. If it comes back, I’m going to the Dr.

It’s feeling much better, but not all the way healed. I have started back into the gym and easing back into it. I’m making sure to stretch almost daily
