I am competing in my first powerlifting competition in July, so over Christmas did a "dirty bulk" (AKA eat all the things) to boost my strength/muscle mass ahead of a long slow cut down to the weight I need to be for my competition (under 67.5kg). Today marks day 1, I weighed in at 77kg first thing, and holy shit I forgot how hard it is to force myself to eat real foods instead of just 2 litres of black coffee for breakfast.
Current lifts stand at 110kg for back squat, 112.5kg for deadlift and 50kg for bench. I would like to be at 115kg+ for squat & deadlift and 60kg for bench by July. The latter is obviously the biggest jump and on my least favourite lift.
Am basically going to be posting about it here / instagram / twitter / everywhere for the next 4-5 months to help keep me accountable / on track. Sorry in advance.
