KBR's Log
Hello All,
New here and after lurking around I liked some discussions and training talk I saw so I decided to join and start a training log. I just competed at the USPA Monster Ball Massacre on 10/27/18 in the equipped class (yes, I'm a single-ply equipped lifter). I competed in the 90 kg class and weighed in at 87.7 kg with a 715kg total (1576 lbs) and a 462.7 wilks.
Meet Results were
Sq: 272.5 kg (600.8 lb)
Bn: 187.5 kg (413.4 lb)
DL: 255 kg (562.2 lb)
I am now running a 2-3 week pivot block before getting back into raw training. After the pivot block, I am going to run a program I wrote for myself that I've had very good luck with in the past but this time around I'm going to implement the RTS Emerging Strategy principles and more carefully monitor my rate of progression.
As I post more of my log and own training program, I'm open for any discussion about the way I train or how my program is laid out, not that its anything special.

Lol, thanks! I searched for equipped lifters before I started this log and the only thing I came across was how equipped lifters were scum of the earth so I wasn't sure how well it would be received.KoolaidMannn wrote: ↑Tue Oct 30, 2018 8:04 pm Pretty cool having a fully equipped lifter on the forum!

Re: KBR's Log
I think equipped lifting gets a bad name from some of the feds allowing horrifically high squats and other silliness. When some of the folks around here have thought about equipped lifting in an honest manner, considered how folks like Jen Thompson and Mike Tuscherer both did equipped lifting at some point, and recognized the potential for training carryover between the two, then equipped lifting isn't as marginalized as it has become. The explosion of raw lifting in recent years created tension where it really doesn't need to exist.bross84 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 31, 2018 1:14 pmLol, thanks!

Again, I'm happy you're logging here and I am interested in seeing how things evolve in your training. This is good stuff.

bleh....a week or so ago I learned "raw" lifters were/are using saran-wrap and heat guns to get their sleeves on.....and/or cutting their knee sleeves off after each squat because they are so fucking tight.
.....basically single ply lifting IMO.
It all a grey area.

Re: KBR's Log
I can 100% agree with this, Westside has given equipped lifting a very bad name. With that being said I still think Louie gets discredited a lot for his contribution to the sport because of this. After seeing Sumner lifting equipped it piqued my interest and I started watching a lot of the IPF equipped lifters and it opened up another side of equipped lifting to me.I think equipped lifting gets a bad name from some of the feds allowing horrifically high squats and other silliness.
When I got into equipment I never had the full intention of wearing squat suits and shirts that I couldn't get on myself. So my gear is fairly loose and I put it all on myself and train alone 95% in my garage in the equipment. I have always held myself to IPF equipped standards and would quite honestly rather compete in the USAPL but competing is the USPA is far more convenient, as most of the USAPL meets I would be interested in don't offer a single-ply class, and with the USPA putting on more drug-tested meets it's the USPA is getting better.
The straps on the suit are WAY too long of my torso, which helps a lot with the depth. But even in equipment, #welookdown lolololzthese squats are pretty deep

Re: KBR's Log
Never done that but I did forget to load a plate on one side while using mono attachments for my rack. When I picked the weight up and realized something was wrong I forgot that the mono attachments had swung out of the way and just tried to rerack it, completely missed the hooks and had to fight somewhere upper 400 - lower 500 range down to the pins as gracefully as possible. It was not a fun experience and screwed up my shoulder and elbow to the point I couldn't bench for a week or so.ChrisMcCarthy1979 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 02, 2018 4:22 am Welcome!

I can't say I've ever had the same effect despite the name. I tend to mainly use all glutes and hams when doing back ext. I've been using a reverse hyper during my pivot block and you want to talk about low back pump... good godKoolaidMannn wrote: ↑Mon Nov 05, 2018 11:19 am @bross84 I just added in back extensions as one of my GPP movements, and holy shit..

KBR Pivot Block B #3
11/7/19
Daily Avg. Fatigue: 2.7
Been trying out these Density Blocks I've ready about on here and have to say I really like the approach. I could possibly be overusing them at this point but since it's a pivot block I'm not overly concerned about that. I will probably continue to use them with some accessory work once I get back into my next dev. block in a week or two.

Been trying out these Density Blocks I've ready about on here and have to say I really like the approach. I could possibly be overusing them at this point but since it's a pivot block I'm not overly concerned about that. I will probably continue to use them with some accessory work once I get back into my next dev. block in a week or two.

@bross84 yeah I’ve been doing mine on the GHD and it’s brutal. Funny enough I don’t really feel much from reverse hypers... I’m probably doing them wrong though haha.

Re: KBR's Log
@KoolaidMannn Yea, I definitely noticed a huge difference in low back pump doing them on my GHR instead of the 45 back raise, doing them in a 5-min density block didn't help either lol
