I have decided to hit more of a heavy bodybuilding routine for the next several months to put on some size. My goal is to get up to 245lbs. and then start back powerlifting again. My diet will be clean and coincide accordingly.
Bench Flat- warmup, increased to sets of 5 with 275 paused with feet in air, then several sets of paused 225 for sets of 8-10 with feet in air. Triceps work.

01-23-2014 My posts have been sporadic at best. I have been working out intensely and just haven't had time to log down much. Will try to get better.
I have increased my volume again in my workouts. I had been doing a lot of powerlifting workouts for the past several years. I looked in the mirror one day and realized it has really affected my shape. I know, I know...powerlifters are generally not worried about how we look. I thought and pondered for awhile and realized I had to do what works for me. I have started back with more workouts and more bodybuilding and tons and tons of more reps. It worked for me in the past and its starting to work now. I have always used my on methods of "overtraining" and it seems to go well for me. I am going to try and once again find a meet to enter this year....family and work and all....I look forward to any replies and comments..thank you.

Chest day/triceps light day
I warmed up on flat bench. Then progressed up to 325 for sets of 3..paused. I hit sets of 300 lbs of 5-6 paused for approximately 8 sets. I then put 275 on the bar and completed numerous sets of paused reps with feet in the air. I then completed a set of 275 for 5 pauses with feet on the ground and immediately stripped off to 225 and hit approximately 25-30 reps....lost count. I then did several more sets of 225 paused for 5 seconds or so on the chest. I could tell this was working but was carb and nutrition depleted, so I did not obtain the pump I was looking for. I have found and recently posted that my body responds to a lot of volume and sets...it takes more and more for me....there is no such thing as overtraining in my book. Once again, this works for ME...I can't recommend for everyone....
I then ended with some pec deck flyes...and heavy tricep v bar pressdowns..... not a bad volume day.....

I have been working out still with my 2 a day workouts most days...chest workouts are coming along nicely..have been steadily increasing single sets. Will start keeping better log and putting specifics.
Heavy Bent over rows
Increased to sets of 275 for sets of 10...went back down to 225 and hit numerous sets of various reps. Only had 30 minutes in gym before it closed. Not terrible..but not great workout...something though.
To Our God Be The Glory...be with those who betray me...help me turn the other cheek.

I have been lifting hard, just not able to log in. I am continuing on my heavy single days and chest workouts 7-14 a week. I have recently started adding back my legs after the injury, just gonna take it slow on legs. Heavy chest
Worked up to 355 for numerous sets of singles. Weight is moving up quickly and fast. Will try 360 or 365 on Wednesday. I always hit one or two sets at the end of the singles for a set of 5 with 315. All of my singles and sets are paused for 2-3 3 seconds.
I will either do triceps or shoulders after this. I work in my back and legs on a varying basis. I will put more specifics down soon.
All Glory to our Lord.
