O_RYAN's Preparation for Sept 14th SPF Meet in Houston
As the title says, I will be preparing to do my first powerlifting meet on Sept 14th (the meet isn't schduled yet, but my training partner knows the organizer and said it will be a go). I started training at a hardcore bodybuilding/powerlifting/strongman gym up here in Houston and I love it. My intentions for moving to this gym was to get to the next level in powerlifting. After the first day there, I teamed up with a powerlifter that know quite a bit and was willing to take me under his wing. We have access to a monolift (from westside barbell), an EliteFTS competition bench, a reverse hyper machine from Westside, competition bars, chains, and a GHR among a lot of other great equipment.
I'll be posting my training along with other stuff moving up to the meet. I'm currently around 188#s right now, so I feel I'm just going to compete in the 181# class rather than the 198# class.
Current Maxes:
Squat: 525
Bench: 325 (following comp rules)
Deadlift: 585
Glad to have you guys on board.

Nice. ^^^ Can you explain the rationale for chain use for me? I know precious little about the whens and whys of it.

Great input. Thought it might have something to do with speed, but wasn't sure. Thanks.
