I competed in 4 powerlifting and 1 strongman contest last year. That is the most competitions I’ve ever done in a year before; not bad for a master lifter. I competed in 3 federations last year; the Anti-Drug Athletes United, 100% Raw Powerlifting Federation, and the North American Highlander Association. This year I plan on cutting weight and dropping from the super heavy weight class to the 308 lbs. weight class. Ideally, I would like to stay at about 290 lbs. That way as a powerlifting competition nears, I don’t have to diet. I would actually be able to increase my weight a little and still make weight. My plan is to only do a couple competitions this year and really focus on cutting weight while maintaining my strength. My program for the next few weeks is going to be very basic:
Day 1) Squats 5-6 sets x 1-8 repetitions
Abdominal work
15 minutes of heavy kettlebell work
Day 2) Bench Press 5-6 sets x 1-8 repetitions
Abdominal work
Barbell Complexes
Day 3) Deadlifts 5-6 sets x 1-5 repetitions
Curls 5-6 sets x 1-10 repetitions
High repetition kettlebell work
I might throw in some grip work in there from time to time ; )
