Really strong benches as well! Nice to feel that kind of weight in your hands!

oh ya, deficits suck but itll all payoff lol. ya it annoys me to pull in shorts - more than likely once we hit higher weights ill drop the shorts and pull in tights

Well went to the gym to workout earlier than normal (since my gym, Stone and Barbell, LLC was putting on a mock meet) it all came to scretching halt (atleast the squat workout portion did) I must've strained something during deadlifts, horrendence pain in my to low to be my back, to high to be a hamstring - i am assuming its glute - seems as if there is inflammation and cause some nerves to react funny - either wya got up to 315, and it just wasnt worth it to try and get thru the workout, stopped there. did manage to get the close grip band work done - did 385 + double choked red band to a 2board for 1set of 4, than drop off 6% and hit it for 5sets of 4 - headin the chiro tomorrow, and will be seein him all week to get everything figured out - minor set backs nothing big - 2000 is still the goal and ill be damned if this holds me back.

Hope it's nothing serious. Recover hard and let us know.

Feels much better today, much looser. not getting ahead of myself though - still treating this week as a rehab week. tomorrow is bench work ill go full on it, wednesday is deadlift day (if i even attempt a DL itll be light, however i HIGHLY doubt i will. ill spend the time stretching, working the core and some reverse hypers)

Got in to the chiro today, got some work done and evaluation - just some inflammation and my erector spinae's i am in good hands and already felt awesome! If you are ever in the Kansas City area, be sure to go see Drake Chiropractic & Rehab (he handles us big guys easily!) on to the training now!

why reverse band rather than use a ram/slingshot/whatever else there is?
