This experiment has become such a journey in only 3 weeks. This week is no different. this week brings us to the powerlifting contest for the epf. may 28 th. so far 8 people from gym warriors have signed up for the contest. i believe we may have 4 more people representing the gym maybe more we will soon find out. the contest costs 10.00 at the door and the auger is the door man. Yes the auger, he will be live in person at the contest. All gym warriors clothing will be sold at half price at the meet, we will also have some macho man stuff, and who knows what else. i am looking forward to having the contest and getting the gym cleaned up, getting all these left over trophy's out of here. so i can clean my office completely. i hate not having a clean office. The auger who has been going out of his mind lately, has noticed so much change in his body its very hard to fathom. how is this guy getting so many results this quickly. i have to say its his determination, my training, and my diet. He has to put in the work but the battle plan is there. its like if bill bellicheck is your coach you know that your going to have a good game plan no matter how well or badly you play. how well you play is what results you get. its no different in training, bodybuilding, powerlifting, and sports. to become the best athlete, you need to be physically and mentally ready for the challenge. You also must eat and keep your body active. so when i train people for competition i have them take 3 days off prior to competing. i like to have them come in on Monday and Tuesday and do some brushing up on form , commands, and warm ups. this way they get a muscle memory for the lifts in the contest. it usually doesn't feel like much but what it does do. is builds confidence that i didn't see in the last contest. When you get a new recruit so to speak its very difficult to just throw them into a contest. but sometimes its what we do, to see if they can handle it. Its also good experience, no matter how prepared you are for your first contest, 900 times out of 901 your going to screw up. Usually its on a command. Unless you have a trainer who knows how to do command training, you are not going to be used to someone telling you when and when not to lift a weight. Any one can bounce a weight of their chest. but can you lift the weight off your chest when someone tells you to. That is the true question! This is why competing is a challenge and why it is also fun. I do train people who are in the same weight class, which does not bother me because the best person will win! but we are all on 1 team, our personal goals are to beat our last lift. No matter what place we finish as long as we are taking a step forward then we are winning.
I would also like to explain that i train people to the 60-80 format which means we almost never max out on any lifts. our goal is to max out on the day of the contest and peak out. This way we are never training our body to overload. and instead we do it on the most important day. the day of the meet. this is also the same type of training for bodybuilding. when you bodybuild no one cares if you were the best the day before or if you did a 900 pound deadlift at home. it doesn't count unless its on that day. You have to come dialed in, just like the horse from kentucky derby , the bodybuilding term dialed in means you came in at your best. This is why when i tell people don't max out on your lifts learn how to train! but your brain to the train!
I am looking for more people to train to prepare for contest both bodybuilding and powerlifting. If you are interested please contact me. I do have a lot of people but as the summer comes i can take on more people and work longer hours at night. I want you to break records i want you to compete! i want you to destroy the competition. join us in doing so! compete , train , grow and win . with gym warriors and pauly des!
as always god bless,
go Bruins!!!! pauly des
