The journey so far

My 200th post will be about my lifts and the journey so far. I started powerlifting last year, influenced by my mentor Twain and my good friends in SMU. Why I started training was to be big and jacked like many other guys who lift but hypertrophy work showed very little result and since I like to test my max (not a good thing to do too often), I decided to take up powerlifting as a mean to reach my goal.

So we signed up as a team (Team 22) to represent SMU, ran the Cube program by Brandon Lilly and at SPO13, I hit a 160kg squat, 140 bench, 210 deadlift. Numbers were far from what I believe I can do but at least it gave me a taste of what competition is like.

Got injured (lack of stretching and mobility work) and stopped deadlifting and squatting for months :( My total plummeted. However I did my mobility work and am finally back to squatting and deadlifting (Today is my first day). And now, there is one way my lifts will go: UP!

Lifts so far:
145kg squat (narrow, high bar stance)
155kg bench (touch and go)
170kg deadlift (ugly as shit form)
100kg press (my legit 100kg press)

BW: 86.5kg

Ratio:
Squat:     1.67
Bench:    1.79
Deadlift:  1.96
Press:      1.16

After Hong Kong Bench meet, I will focus on all 4 lifts again and train for SPO14.
Thank you for reading this :)
