Uk.
75kg & 82Kg Squats & Bench.
I swapped from powerlifting to bodybuilding
I lift as heavy as i can every time I train - within the confines of strict form/ achieving close to the number of reps I'm after / Keeping up the intensity.
So the term heavy is very different in my training terms.
thanks for the feedback bro
You expect to gain 25% or so on you're best lift. With competition rules, dropping 20lbs the day before, first time out.
Best of luck trying, youll need it
i've dropped 10 before when i made 48's some years ago and it had no ill effect on my bench, this is with the night before weigh-in
as i said i train too much and i train bench very heavy every 3 or 4 days and on the off days i train either heavy barbell curls or weighted chins or deads, so if i'd rest more i'm sure my strength would go up (i also train deads or pin puls every 3 or 4 days)
also my arch is very weak, near flat, so if i can work my arch up to something like this i think i could give it an honest run

and i often don't even get any comps

oh well, as a true narcissit i compliment myself enough already
