Deadline : ONE Month. - Friday, April 03, 2009 7:51 AM ( #1 )
I got a power lifting competition on May 3rd. An intra-gym kinda thing. I am gonna compete for the first time. Present body weight : 76kgs.
Max bench : 70
Max Squat : 115
Deadlift : N/A . It's banned in gym so we dont have the event. :) but i have it incl in my regular routine though.
 
Yea i know the numbers are small considering my weight, but hell, i been seriously lifting just for 2-3 months now and i have progressed to almost double of what i started out with.
 
Anyways, prev competition maxes in my BW category :
 
Bench : 94
Squat : 93 [hehe .. :D]
 
Only 5-7 guys compete in my BW. So u guys can see that the competition is nothing too great. Infact i guess i can break the record and more, in about 2-3 months of normal training.
BUT I dont have that much time left.
 
Starting from today im preparing for it.
 
I tried to start off the day by doing GVT for bench press since that seems to hold a lot of promise in developing strength fast and quick. Also i performed isolations for delts and tris after benching.
But after the WO i dont feel it suits a beginner like me. Prolly an advanced lifter will benefit from it, but not sure if it will work for me.
 
I went through the existing threads and nothing suits my requirements since they are based on long term training (a few months at least).
 
What do I do? I am not worried about my diet. I pretty much have that part worked out. Im taking a load or protiens and the good fats plus adequate carbs mainly from veggies and fresh/dried fruits. Nope! i dont use supps and i do not want to even if thats gonna help me win.
 
I am all confused about the routine i need to do.
Shall I get back to the 5X5 training or continue with GVT and hope that i push though the 94 kilo marker in a month? thats 24 kilos more that what i do now. And WHAT is the frequency with which i need to train?
 
i just hope im not sounding too ambitious. But i just want to give a shot at it.. does not matter if i lose.
Any help (ASAP) would be appreciated.

A powerlifting comp that bans deadlifts ROFL.... that is the climax of the whole event.  Haven't they ever heard "The comp doesn't truly start until the bar hits the floor."  (not to change the subject... I just had to say that tho)
 
With the weight your lifting... I would say stick to a 3 day full body

lol! yea, ridiculous eh.. i know. im the only guy in the gym who does deadlifts in the routine btw. so even if it was included in the competition, i would be the only guy competing!
