I suppose a lot of it was the way you worded it. You really don't have a deload cycle, a deload is part of your training cycle or program. Also, most people don't run a seperate dynamic cycle or block.
The deload cycle is usually only one week long.
As for the "state champions" in powerlifting, I don't hold that in very high regard.
I honestly couldn't care less what you hold in high regard.
State championship, regionals, etc. aren't usually highly competitive. Most of the national level lifters don't even bother to lift in local meets unless they're trying to qualify for a big meet. I'm not trying to be overly negative, but placing top 3 in a weightclass at a local meet isn't a huge achievement. Our usapl state championship was last month and 1455 in the 205 class took silver. Not a bad total total, but nothing spectacular. I believe bronze was something like 1370. Most of the time at a local meet around a 400-450 wilks will win a weightclass. My point is I'm familiar enough with powerlifting to know that "top 3 at state" or "state champions" doesn't mean a whole lot. I think the hardest part about putting together a good powerlifting team is finding and organizing people that all want to lift at the same meet.

205lbs would be the 93kg class.
1455lbs would be 661.4kg
That's 310 in the all time ranking for his weight class in USAPL. That's more than "not bad".
Where are you on that board? Since you don't think winning those meets is shit, then I assume you've won all of your meets.
