First, S/O to pyrobatt and CNP for sending me two bottles (60ct each) of Legendary (which is -(-)epi, lax and capsorb)
Cronus is CNP protein blend (isolate, concentrate and casein) The flavor I got was omnipotent orange.
I've tried the protein twice now. The protein mixes really well, like a solid isolate would, although it's not. The flavor is fantastic. It reminds me of a dull orange sherbet!
The goal of this log was to use LEGENDARY up to and through my powerlifting competition. But, Christmas Eve I went in for an adjustment at my chiro. Everything was routine, went afterwards to squat and bench. During my pin squats my low back hurt in the middle of a set. Didn't think anything of it and continued to finish out my sets/reps. It's now been 10 days and my low back (L5 region) is STIFF every morning. I tried to deadlift and couldn't break the floor with 135lb. So, I've been doing my own rehab - thanks to K. Staretts videos on YouTube. Still no change with the stiffness/tightness. One good thing is (I suppose) I have no tingling, numbing or any of the symptoms of a bulged/herniated disc.
Long sorry short, I've backed out of the competition. And I'm working around my injury. Another positive is, I was able to squat a decent amount of weight today with no pain. Also, another note; there is no pain when my trunk is in extension/hyperextension.
Day one-
Squat- x5 @8 repeats
225x5x5
Comp bench- x3@9 6% load drop
225x3 @9
215x3 @8
215x3 @9
BFR bb skull crushers
Bar x 16x4 30 sec rest
The occluded tricep extensions provide a RIDICULOUS pump after I took the tourniquet off.
Tomorrow my delts/pecs are getting the guasha treatment
