New block to get ready for next competition. Starting with an SBD…235lb SSB, 185lb bench, and 365lb deadlift. Focus is on volume…it’s an adjustment and I’m still rebuilding muscle after surgery, but growth will show off on the platform. #blackskyfitness

End of deload week…405lb deadlift singles moved scary quick. Felt good to just have a week of balance work and stretching to relieve soreness and fatigue. Hack squat and single leg press to close out the workout. #blackskyfitness

Deadlift day. Felt good pulling 455lb, but failed 495lb. Decided to AMRAP 315lb to close out the session on a good note. Time for some rest before starting a new block. #blackskyfitness

Larsen press day. Lost more muscle in my upper body than I thought, so chest strength needs work. Multiples of 185 and 205lb, so pushed myself for 225 lb. Shoulder and back work for accessories. #blackskyfitness

Deload done, back to moving heavy. Focused on improving form meant weight moved way easier. Multiple sets of 405lb and 425lb, then made jump to 455lb for fun. Back and balance work to end this heavy session. #blackskyfitness

Dr. Big Brown Powerlifter @bbplboogie.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

Program said one, went for a triple. SSB work, went heavy since primary squat day wasn’t great. Lots of work at 225lb, the top with two sets is 285lb. Feeling more confident with the squat and how my legs are recovering. #blackskyfitness

Dr. Big Brown Powerlifter @bbplboogie.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

Larsen press becoming my fave secondary chest workout. Multiple sets @ 185lb then went off program and hit 205lb. Going to be at 225lb sooner than I thought. #blackskyfitness

Dr. Big Brown Powerlifter @bbplboogie.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

5 months since leg surgery and finally got back to squatting over 300lb. Working sets of 285lb went smooth, so hit top set of 325lb for a challenge. Confidence with handling heavy weight coming back. #blackskyfitness

Dr. Big Brown Powerlifter @bbplboogie.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

Last leg day of the week and fighting major fatigue. SSB for sets of 205lb, then Larsen press to close out the day. New program is lots of volume to help me get back to baseline before surgery. #blackskyfitness

Week off for recovery from allergies, so wasn’t feeling great. But still got up for deadlifts. Heavy single work at 405lb with top set of 425lb. New block starts Sunday…can’t wait to get back on a regular routine. #blackskyfitness

Dr. Big Brown Powerlifter @bbplboogie.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

Chest Sunday before service…multiple working sets of 225lb, then incline press and dumbbell tricep work as accessories. Heaviest bench since surgery and felt good…looking forward to pushing more soon. #blackskyfitness

Dr. Big Brown Powerlifter @bbplboogie.bsky.social · 20/06/2026

Juneteenth deadlifts. Multiple sets of 315lb then two singles at 405lb. Single leg presses (for ankle and Achilles strength) and back rows as accessories. Almost 4 months after surgery and the strength in legs is coming back. #blackskyfitness

Dr. Big Brown Powerlifter @bbplboogie.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

3 months after surgery and hit the heaviest number so far. 365lb deadlift felt smooth, before that I was able to rep 315lb. Progressing faster than the doctors thought I would! #blackskyfitness

Dr. Big Brown Powerlifter @bbplboogie.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

Secondary bench this morning. Multiple sets of 185lb Larsen press. Back and bicep work as accessories. Weight is moving smoother since the surgery, but still being patient with the progress. #blackskyfitness

It’s gonna be a great championship day today

Dr. Big Brown Powerlifter @bbplboogie.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

Doc gave the go ahead to resume squats to help with balance work. Starting out with the SSB and going light with 185lb top set. Ankles and Achilles are still weak, but this will definitely help #blackskyfitness

040

Dr. Big Brown Powerlifter @bbplboogie.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

Doing some PT work today, strengthening Achilles and ankles. I hate balance work but it’s helping with squats and deadlifts. Definitely a different kind of workout! #blackskyfitness

Dr. Big Brown Powerlifter @bbplboogie.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

2 months after surgery. Been dreaming of returning to hitting big numbers, so 315lb deadlift felt good to move this morning. After this session, I realized I’ll be at 500+ lb soon. #blackskyfitness

Dr. Big Brown Powerlifter @bbplboogie.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

Secondary bench day…after some back work, hit paused bench of 135lb and multiple sets of 155lb. Decided to do doubles at 165lb to test my endurance. Strength is coming back quicker than I thought. #blackskyfitness

Doing my part to remember those who helped Cyclones when they needed it, plus stick it to the damn Arizona Wildcats (still feeling salty about that Big 12 tourney semifinal) #bluecy @newap-georgia.bsky.social @hollyanderson.bsky.social @edsbs.bsky.social

Got the okay to resume heavy lifting 6 weeks after surgery. Hit 185lb on bench press, back and triceps still weak. Felt good to be underneath the bar. Next up: deadlift day. #blackskyfitness

Dr. Big Brown Powerlifter @bbplboogie.bsky.social · 15/04/2026

First deadlift after surgery. Legs are still a little weak but still managed a single 275lb. Got a little emotional after this lift. Have to remind myself that strength will come back…patience is a must in the recovery process. #blackskyfitness

Dr. Big Brown Powerlifter @bbplboogie.bsky.social · 13/04/2026

Been away from the gym for a month recovering from surgery. Doc said take it easy, so just a light set of 135lb bench press. Felt good to finally be back under a bar…I’ll be back to heavy lifting soon. #blackskyfitness

Dr. Big Brown Powerlifter @bbplboogie.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

Deload week means lots of accessory work. After light sets of primary squats, did multiple sets of rack pulls at 315lb. Definitely feeling it in the glutes and hamstrings. #blackskyfitness

Dr. Big Brown Powerlifter @bbplboogie.bsky.social · 10/02/2026

Travel for family and changed diet means the workouts are different. But I’m glad I found a nice garage power gym. Pulled multiples of 425lb then hit heavy rack pulls. Can’t wait to be back on my routine. #blackskyfitness

Secondary chest day…paused press to 3 second competition standard. 3 sets of triples at 225lb wore me out. Finished with back rows, iso lat pulls, and some time doing cardio. #blackskyfitness

Dr. Big Brown Powerlifter @bbplboogie.bsky.social · 23/01/2026

Deadlift Friday. Failed a PR of 515 lb last week, so got advice on staying patient with the deadlift bar and doing smarter warmup sets. Pulled 505lb today, then did AMRAP at 405lb for 7 reps. #blackskyfitness #gymsky

Dr. Big Brown Powerlifter @bbplboogie.bsky.social · 09/01/2026

Deadlift Friday…working set of 405lb with singles at 455lb. Drop sets of triples at 365lb really got the glutes and hamstrings tired. Definitely going to feel it tomorrow. #blackskyfitness

Dr. Big Brown Powerlifter @bbplboogie.bsky.social · 07/01/2026

Heavy squat session. Working sets of 345lb, then two singles at 375lb. Getting better with depth at heavier weights. Followed this with very heavy RDLs. Glutes and hamstrings definitely got some work in. #blackskyfitness

Dr. Big Brown Powerlifter @bbplboogie.bsky.social · 04/01/2026

Back from the deload and working on bench press. Was struggling with the form the last 2 sessions, so decided to drop the weight and focus on my setup. 3 sets of 205lb at 6 reps each, then three sets of triples at 225lb. #blackskyfitness

Dr. Big Brown Powerlifter @bbplboogie.bsky.social · 02/01/2026

Follow up chest workout…hit it hard early in the week, then hit Larsen press for secondary work. Multiple sets of 225lb moved pretty good despite some fatigue. #blackskyfitness

Today was my Super Bowl. Turkey brined and seasoned to perfection, indoor deep fryer came in the clutch. Sides and dessert worked together to put forth a tremendous effort. My finest performance thus far.

Back on the program. Heavy chest volume ending with multiple triples at 240lb. Form is a consistent improvement but that iron moved good. #blackskyfitness #gymsky

Dr. Big Brown Powerlifter @bbplboogie.bsky.social · 20/11/2025

Back home after work travel, jumped right into training. Multiple sets of doubles at 405lb, then back rows and core. Feels good to move iron again. #blackskyfitness

Dr. Big Brown Powerlifter @bbplboogie.bsky.social · 15/11/2025

Volume day with deadlifts. Had to do at least 10 reps at 315lb, then multiple sets at 335lb. Finished with a 405lb single. Hamstrings and glutes definitely felt like jello after this. #blackskyfitness

Dr. Big Brown Powerlifter @bbplboogie.bsky.social · 13/11/2025

Secondary day…paused bench. Multiple sets at 205lb, then added two sets of 225lb for a challenge. Working on staying tight all the way through. #blackskyfitness

Building up my squats. 375lb single after working sets of 325 and 345. Felt good, depth was okay. 400lb is the goal and it feels closer than I thought. #gymsky #blackskyfitness
