I have decided I need to log my progress and hope that it will increase my lifts. I have not done a meet in about seven years so I thought I would start this log to help me. I powerlifted in the late 80's to about 1990 on and off and had not done another meet until 2010. I now have the time to...

I used to post on these forums a while ago (probably too much), moved my log over to the sweat pit but it seems to have gone offline. I was a powerlifter for a couple of years, best gym lifts 170 x 5 squat, 105 x 5 bench and 200 x 5 deadlift. When I went to university I joined the olympic...

I have been training since 2010, mainly for soccer. My aim is to compete in powerlifting and compete in amateur soccer as a goalkeeper. I'm kinda limited since I'm training at home with 207.5kg and only got 12.5kg dumbells, so focussing on OHP and lightweight dumbell bench press. Stats: ...

I got into a car accident on April 30th. I ended up braking vertebrates in my back and fracturing some also. I ended up severely injuring my spinal cord. Fractured my right shoulder, and fractured ribs on my right side. Had back surgery to fuse the vertebrates. The accident left me paralyzed from...

3 months post labrum shoulder surgery. Been advised to start very light. Goal is to be repping 60kg+ bench and deadlift 140kg+ by end of year. When I've done that I'll bring in squats starting from the bar. But I'm being careful. I created a beginner's log in the past as I took a long time off...

My goals are to bench 275lbs and deadlift 500lbs within 1 year weighing 180lbs. Right now I'm 237lbs and have been...

Routine Background: I've done a few different types of routines, but found what works best for me is a modified Sheiko. The routine I'm working with right now is a modified version of Wade Hoopers training routine for 2006 USAPL Nationals. I'll be using this & changing it to suit my needs as I...

Had a good stretch from this time last year to March this year but had a pilonidal cyst that needed surgery so I was out for about 8 weeks. Not as bad as my last lay-off from the flu, pneumonia and other infections early 2018 that put me out for 12+ weeks or costochondritis that put me out from...
