So I decided to take a month break from poker, mainly cause I didn't want to play with mediocre focus.

Powerlifting:

My Uni finally got a new gym, and been able to pick up my old passion: Power Lifting. I also found out there was finally be a national meeting, to which I'm attending with 1 month preparation to gain some experience so I can hopefully win by the end of the year.

Tbh my bench/squat suck. I had a month to practice so I only focused on deadlift/bench press, but my deadlift was just on a better starting position. On my last week I decided to learn to squat, so i've focusing on proper technique to get as much carryover from deadlift into it.

Realistic Goal (I'm sure I can make it): Deadlift 180kg, Bench press 100kg, Squat 100kg
Dream Goal: Deadlift 190kg, Bench press 105kg, Squat 130kg.

My weight class is 73kg.

In between, I want to hit 400kg this meeting and 500kg by the end of the year.

Here is my schedule for training so far, everything in pounds.

Business:

My business been going well; selling seem to be stabilized atm on around 1.2k/month.
We are also planing on organizing our first seminar dictated by 2 RKC's (certified dragon door instructors). It seems we can cover expenses easily and split profit with them on terms yet to negotiate.

Poker:

I took a month break from poker cause I was getting run over by obligations (business, uni, etc) and I didn't want to grind without complete focus. Will read some theory on monday/tuesday and resume grinding on may, and depending on the following months I'll determine wether to keep playing or cash out my roll for good.

Regards LP

powerlifting just means lifting it once right? i mean i dont know anything about this, but how could you possible win if you only aim to be able to bench 100?

It's a one time lift and ya, I don't plan on winning this time lol; i'd say my deadlift is the only decent lift i've got so far. However on a national level competition is quite low and I could win at my weight class with something like deadlift 210/squat 180/bench press 120, which is kinda my goal by the end of the year.

Be careful of prolapses, looks like they hurt

Odds are exactly 50%: it either happens or not
