Way back in 2018 I started the Garage Gym Competition and had no idea it would quickly become the BIGGEST and BADDEST Virtual Powerlifting Event. When others showed up during COVID, and then disappeared, we stayed strong.
The Garage Gym Competition is for those that choose to lift at home, in pursuit of bigger totals, stronger muscles, and an escape from the world around us.
This is my Spring 2024 Submission, and I decided to do something a little different. I wanted to play with all my new production tools, experiment with editing tricks, and work on my storytelling abilities.
My goal was to give a glimpse into what my brain does during the Big 3 Lifts - Squat, Bench, and Deadlift… the music, the vibe, the transitions, the lighting…
While it might not have been the best idea to film a cinematic montage while chasing down three PRs in the same week, it gave me an interesting challenge and a fun way to flex my recently acquired skills.
This was the first prep I used JuggernautAI for, and it went MOSTLY well.
Squats were great the entire program and prep, knee pain has been in check, and these new Pioneer Knee Sleeves are MONSTERS.
Bench I did what I always do and started overthinking things but luckily managed to pull my you know what out of my you know what for the day that mattered. If I can string together an entire prep of keeping focused and not overthinking things, I might see 405lb in my future.
Deadlifts were off most of the prep. In the past I’ve Deadlifted once a week and ALSO done weighted carries on Fridays. Not having that weighted carry dropped my volume significantly for deads, which I think hurt me here a bit. I also got greedy… I rocked that 590lb pull, and jumped to 632lb for a 2lb PR attempt. I should have gone for 615lb, and then 635lb… oh well. I live to lift another day.
If you are interested in the Garage Gym Competition, it is totally free, tons of prizes up for grabs, kids to grandparents are welcome, and we donate money for every person who lifts to a Non-Profit!
The Spring event runs from May 11th to the 19th, and we have a Fall Event coming in October.
