So to take a step back, I was recommending both PEA and KLOW for the gut issues you sometimes have. Specifically it’s really KPV that is most useful for the gut, but I have found GLOW to still be...

Man sorry to hear about the back strain in warmups. But great job sucking it up and still finishing strong. You still put up respectable numbers in spite of the injury. 💪😎👍
Dang, stinks you took a ding right off the bat in warmups - sounds like you actually did peak well, just had the back aggravation & couldn’t display what you are capable of.
That’s a strong...

An occasional hard push feels like it's clearing all the crud out of your system. I think if I'm careful with it, a slightly improved conditioning could help with my strength training but gotta be...
Just getting in your own head brother, you have been working and preparing for this, you got this. Just remember words of Ronnie, ain’t nothin but a peanut.
Yeah, don’t let that get In your head brother. You had 4 good nights and 2 bad, but like Hyde said your average was a tad over 6 so you are good. Probably just nerves, but I bet when that...
That’s exactly it, lifting weights well is practicing the movements and the rest is mental. If you have a bottle of caffeine pills you will NOT be tired on meet day; the adrenaline will be on and...
You got this brother. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. So much of performance in anything is mental. So quell that negative voice and go hit some strong numbers!
Just weighed and checked in. This meet/ fed is a lot different. No equipment check, it is honor system. If they suspect you will call you over and dq you for the meet if it does not meet...

Will go from there and see what happens.
Bro this is like a 6 hour average at least; if you **** the bed it’s not going to be for lack of sleep this week. It’s not like you’ve had a big training load this week to recover from.
I had...
