Lower back is pretty close to be being "thrown"....disc feels crazy irritated. McGill 3, reverse hypers...rinse and repeat...at least has me walking around. I'm not one to argue calls, so I didn't, but feel the same...the following retake took me out...and I probably should have waved the...

Wish I had good news....the day felt like it was going to be great...well ..1st squat attempt went pretty good...got called for what I was told was a high squat on my 2nd, w/ 496...was ugly, and a grind, but thought I had it in the bag....dropped in the bucket for my 3rd and heard a nice pop in...

74.1....went to bed Wed @ 178...woke up Thurs @ 173.xx...trash bag sweats during typical activities including the Wal Mart run, plus a hot bath in the morning and one later that night, put me @167.xx at bedtime, which was more like staring at the ceiling after watching my Birds handle a tough...

No real reason, other than was off work that week so a majority of the fast was sleeping...not a fan either way, and will def down something pre from here on out

9/20/19 Squats 445 x 2 Bench 225 x 10 (tng) 176.xx as of this morning.

thanks....and yea, not too far off of my sloppier 525 trip last prep

haha, thx...and took a whiff before the 515 set, just trimmed it out...honestly believe it gave me just enough of a spark to finish the set, and even feel like I may have left 1-2 in the tank if it had been an AMRAP.

9/17/19 Bodyweight = 179.xx Deads 515 x 3 465 x 3, 465 x 3 Over 17 hrs fasted heading into this one, and the way warmups were moving I didn't think the top set stood a chance...pleasantly surprised.

we'll eventually land on mutual ground, ha! ...I will always welcome input from guys like you, Jim, Kleen, and Hyde, etc...I continue to learn and improve almost every time I log in!!

damn, really appreciate the info...new items added to my Amazon cart!!!

def not used to seeing that bodyweight in your posts!!

great pull! ....got enough bands, lol.

It will all depend on what I can get down to by the Saturday before, but I've only ever used magnesium citrate 2 days prior to weigh ins...any recommendations?

It really hasn't been that bad...no carbs is the hardest part, but def not starving myself...I mean I do get late evening cravings, but pork rinds and sour cream or string cheese and pepperoni fill that void fairly easy...but eggs and bacon/sausage doesn't get too old...plus chaffles have really...

9/13/19 Squats 455 x 1, 455 x 1, 455 x 1 not bad considering zero carbs...foot positioning was off on the 1st rep...took my time and corrected it for the last 2 singles

I will always understand and respect your viewpoint on the matter...I just feel as if exploiting competitive advantages in a sport like powerlifting will always be a 'who can vs who can't' type of thing...not everyone can cut stupid amounts of weight and still make it work...I am still very much...

I'll take any form of consistent sleep at this point, considering having to change my sleep schedule coming off of 12x8 is never easy to begin with...will def try my best either way! thanks as always J!! ...blows considering I was able to do a 4x4 with 295 this prep, and now might be lucky to...

the last 3 days or so are pretty rough, but I have a tolerance for discomfort, which may be a flaw within its own right, eh.... I'm on pace to be exactly where I was the last time, if not slightly ahead of the curve this go round...I was somewhere around 12lbs over, a week out from my last meet

165... shouldn't be too bad as long as I get to 175 the week before
