In the philosophy of CardioPowerLifting you have one “normal” powerlifting training. Just to check if your (maximum) strength is improving. This training is the contrary of the CardioPowerLifting session. This means you do less sets and take enough rest between the sets. You shall feel that your body is getting restless and earlier ready to do the next set. Take rest. This training can also be done in 90 minutes.
Watch first last week Friday normal powerlifting training.

And now today’s program:
Because my body felt really sore from the training sessions of this week. I did less in the warm-up excersises (planken & goodmornings)

Planken 3x 30 seconds
Goodmornings 3×8 20kg
Squats 2×8 20kg 2×8 60kg 5x90kg (proper warming-up sets are a must have) 3x120kg 3x145kg 2x165kg (with belt) 2x180kg (belt + sleeves)
Deadlift 3x120kg 3x150kg 3x175kg 2x195kg 2x210kg (with belt)
Bench press 2×8 20kg 8x60kg 5x80kg 3×97,5kg 2x110kg (wirst wraps) 2x115kg (wirst wraps + belt)
Streching cycle

*during my final deadlift set I felt that the pressure in my head was enough. So next my deadlift must go a little easier.

Today the focus was on the recovery, because coming Friday the weekly normal powerlifting session is on the program. Therefore lower weights than previous days. Nevertheless the speed of the training was killing 🙂

Program:
Planken 5x 35 seconds
Knee raises 5x 15
Good mornings 5×8 40kg
Squats 2×8 20kg 2×8 50kg 2×5 80kg (warm-up sets)
3-in-1 squats (variation of slow, pause & normal squats)
5 sets with 100kg 2 reps slow, 3 reps pause & 2 reps normal (speed)
Deadlift 3-in-1 sets 5 sets of 3 reps 110kg, 2 reps 115kg and 1 reps 120kg
Bench press 2×8 20kg 2×8 40kg 2×5 60kg (warm-up sets)
3-in-1 bench press 3 sets with 80kg 3 reps narrow, 3 reps middle & 3 reps wide grip
4 th set with 75kg & 5th with 70kg.
Most important in my opinion is to fullfill your set & reps instead of heavy weights 😉

Today my  girlfriends Iris & Ilrish and Su came by for a light cardiopowerlifting session. In one word it was “GREAT”. They won’t forget this light cardiopowerlifting session and maybe and/or might they have learn something about their self. I joined the training and in the last squats set Ilrish decided my weights. In the video I made a complications of our final 5×5 sets squats, followed with the cardioset  Deadlift the ‘heaviest’ single and final “after set”. We didn’t recorded the bench press 3-in-1 sets.

Program:
Planken 5x 30sec
Goodmornings 5×8 40kg
Squats 2×8 20kg 2×8 60kg 2×5 80kg 5×5 100kg cardioset / mindf@#kset: 1x120kg 1x135kg 1x140kg 1x145kg 1x150kg 2×137,5kg 3x135kg 3×132,5kg 2x130kg 3x120kg
Deadlift 3×3 110kg 1x140kg 1x160kg 1×177,5kg 5x150kg
Bench press 2×8 20kg 2×20 50kg 3x3x3 80kg (narrow, middle and wide grip)

 

Just pushed myself to my next level. This was a normal powerlifting session, so no hurries and enough rest between the sets. Pretty relax 
Squats and deadlifts feeling good and I can control the tension/pressure in my head. With benchpress the pressure/tension increases fast benching 100kg or more. Therefore I stop myself making a triple with 112,5kg
