Abandoned powerlifting meet prep. Anti climatic but I think I’m done with competing and powerlifting style training forever. Gonna taper off gear too. Be completely off by April 2025.
Focus now on getting bodyweight down to 95kg and staying with +/- 5kg range of that until I die. No more bulking and cutting. Just maintain healthy eating habits. Around 2400 calories a day. 200g protein. This will be a daily deficit but this way I wont feel guilty going out for a pizza and beer with boys on the weekend. Reassess calories when I hit 95kg.
Want to try retain as much muscle as possible while reducing BW. Upper/ lower 2x week split. 6 sets per body part per week. Lots of mobility and stretching work for hips and lower back on lower days. Reassess training frequency and style once at desired weight.
Increase running volume. Build from current 3 days a week to 5 days a week running in the am. Complete marathon under 4:40 in October 2025. Lesh go!
Oh shit big P gonna be health maxxing
Good for you tho man I completely get it
Why suddenly bail on the meet tho? Something specific?
I only wanted to do the meet to get the push/pull China record. Just for the flex on my CV. “National Chinese Powerlifting Record Holder in two weight divisions”. I think corporate culture really values that kinda shit. Even if they don’t really know what it is, it sounds impressive. I wouldn’t even need to hit PRs to get that record. Ah well. Now I am just “National Chinese Powerlifting Record Holder in the 100kg (cough mumble) Masters Division” Not gonna pay 450 RMB to not hit PRs and come 9th place in the full SBD event.

Tbh most normies probably don’t even know what “master” means so it just sounds even more elite if they take it literally
Yeah, I will tell them it is short for “Masters of the Universe” and from now on they should call me He-man.
