Hey guys! Sorry for the delay but it has been a long week at the drawing board. You know, when you're creating the perfect blueprint for what you will be doing in the gym for the next few weeks!!?! Anyways, for the next 4 weeks I will be attempting this insane...hardcore...sweaty... tough and not seen on TV weightlifting program that consists of heavy squats, deadlifts, and bench (yea, compound movements). Don't worry no TRX's or bosu balls are needed. I'm training for real. All I need is a bar, some weights, some bands, and a hard work ethic. OK...I'm going to need chalk too.
Just to give you a background, at the beginning of the year I was introduced to the Bulgarian method of weightlifting. It is mainly for oly lifters but we at legendary S and C were so curious about it, we had to give it a shot. Day in and day out regardless of how good I felt, i would squat to a  daily max (single), and have working sets afterwards(volume). Since the squats were so taxing on my body, dead lifts were not on my mind. That's why I only did them once a week and I  mainly went for speed.  For bench, I would bench twice and base it on how i felt for that day. After about 7 to 8 weeks, I put over 50 lbs on my back squat (bawse). I competed in a meet not to long after that and went 8 for 9 in lifts, tied a Pr in bench and a PR in dead lifts. It was awesome! I didn't  really focus on bench and deads, so doing well on those lifts was a plus. But after a curtain amount time, i was so beat up that my gains started to decline. I got caught up on getting stronger and that I needed to add more weight... that it slipped my mind that you can't go hard forever...you need to rest.
I maybe crazy but I want to take this method and try to perfect it (make it better suited for power lifting). I want to avoid the 'dark times'. Include assistance work and hammer my weak points. It sounds like a lot but Ive tweaked it a bit to make the program include pulling and pressing twice a week. Adding speed days to work on my explosiveness in each lift, and adding assistance work. So what is my program? Wouldn't you like to know haha. Stay tuned and Ill post my statuses on each training day and what I did for that day.
