Ace's Journey to the Beau Moore Classic
Hey brothers, this will be my journey for the next 8 weeks as I run 5/3/1 in preparation for my first powerlifting meet, the Beau Moore Classic by RAW United on April 10th.

Let's see what it brings...

Horrible workout tonight, I'm not even posting it. It's been a terrible past few days, and I thought it wouldn't affect me, but tonight was the worst workout I've had since I can remember. For starters, I had food poisoning on friday and saturday...any food that went down came up or shot out...then sunday and monday I didn't eat nearly enough because I needed to ease my body back into eating. Then on tuesday, I sustained a pretty bad rib/side injury, with a large spot on my upper side that is black and blue (I might get it checked after feeling as bad of a pain as I did), and a chunk of skin missing on the lower end of my side (pics posted below). I didn't expect any of it to bother me as much as it did...my energy levels were basically zero, and I tried to wear a belt, but intense pain shot throughout my ribs when I pushed my obliques out. I'm going to take the rest of the week off, try to get my diet back in order, then start fresh on monday.

Same here boom! I'm motivated as hell, but sometimes shit happens...at least it's early enough right now that it won't throw anything off. I really want my 1st meet to be an event I can remember and look back on in pride.

Thank you so much widdlewade. You guys keep me accountable, and there's nothing more motivating than that. We'll get to April 10th together...

So, instead of padding my ego and missing reps, I lowered my 1RM from 375 to 350 because I felt the weights were a bit too heavy from last week. I am running two cycles, so I can raise the weight for the 2nd. The program is very deceiving, and is a lot more intense than I suspected. Overall, it went very well today.

Warmup - bike, stretching

Squats - warmups

235lbs x 5

250lbs x 5

265lbs x 5

Assistance Work :

Squats - 155lbs x 10, x 10, x 10

Leg Curls - 60lbs x 10, x 10, x 10

Cooldown - stretching, abs, back ext

Nice work Ace, it's better to start conservative IMO, it'll only help in the long run.

Exactly, I have 9 weeks until the meet...that's plenty of time to get stronger and raise the weights. It's actually really odd for me to do 5 reps...I rarely ever get into that range, it's usually either high reps (10+) or low reps (3-), so my body is having trouble adjusting.

Were you only capable of doing 5 reps on your last set of squats or did you just stop there?

That was it, it was tough. I don't know what happened, but the power in my legs just doesn't feel the same as a few weeks ago...

late but subbed...haha

truth is that life is hard and dangerous
he who seeks his own happiness does not find it
he who is weak must suffer
he who demands love will be disappointed
he who is greedy will not be fed
he who seeks peace will find strife
truth is only for the brave
joy is only for him who does not fear to be alone
life is only for the one who is not afraid to die

Never let the fear of striking out stop u from playing the game
