Thanks Ravi!! 3PPS is always a good weight for squatting, at least for us mere mortals! The problem will be fixed, at least temporarily.

Thanks Alan!! Indeed, and he's a good one who knows me very well. It's pretty much mandatory for all powerlifters to have physio & sports medicine docs on hand! lol

Nothing wrong with taking a down week Jim, you have to listen to your body. This coming week I wouldnt do anything except stretches, foam rolling, and any lifting I would do it seated. Bench, military press, seated curls, leg ext, hamstring curls. No squat, dead, cleans, or standing movements. Pick your battles wisely!

Indeed JB!! I will follow your orders to the letter! Your input is priceless.

Thanks Jay!! Ya, it's been awhile so that is a good sign for sure. I do now have an appt. for April to see the sports medicine specialist to look after my disc narrowing and arthritis in the lower back.
