Some more squats tonight, I like em more every time I do them.

8 x 175
8 x 200
8 x 225
7 x 255
4 x 285 may have been able to get 1 more but didn't push it.

I'm ordering a belt this week and also gonna grab a couple more 50lb weights so I have room on my bar. I have a lot of small weights...

I have literally been at the verge of tapping out from a 120 pound woman:rofl:

I'm not gonna lie that doesn't sound the least bit enticing

If its anything like foam rolling, the pain of rolling is quickly replaced by the feel goodness of not rolling. Catch 22 :rofl:

 

[minerigger]

Foam rolling is alot cheaper lol

I cringe at the thought of a massage therapist attempting to unravel the knots in my lower back. :roflmao:

I have yet to find a place with someone strong enough to un knot my back. The large fan muscles in the back really like knotting up lol

I appreciate the responses. I guess I am old enough now that things won't just work themselves out. Sucks getting older! I just need to make the time to do all of the accessory work now to keep things semi painless.

5x135
5x225
5x245
5x265

Took me about 45min for that. Legs are pretty shaky. I'm trying to build back all the strength I lost during my summer cut.

You know you are doing things right when you forgot how much weight is on bar cause you lower back is all sorts of angry.

Squats
5x225
5x275
5x335
3x385
3x455
3x385

Did some rows, and a few sets of decline situps. BW as of this morning is 230lb, I'll take it.

Time for a weekend of hopefully relaxing laid back stuff :thumb:

F*ck all you guys:rofl: I haven't squatted in a week, letting the back heal up. Feeling good now, so we shall see. Maybe I'll go full douche in the gym tonight, maybe posting from the hospital:cool2:

 

[minerigger]

My allergies have been horrible the last 3 days. I can't breathe out my nose and I feel high as a kite I've tried so much allergy medicine...hoping this weekend maybe I can hit the gym and maybe do one of those fancy dropsets or a drop set super set

First day back under the bar. No pain, just some tension. Worked sets of five up to 205 just to be safe. Paused them all for three to get more out of the bitch weight. DL same up to 185.

Feeling good, but don't want to push it. Treated it like a stretching session really. I'm just grateful to get to touch the bar today.

See above... But pretty good. I can tell I don't have the 1-2 rep 90+% stuff as of now but we'll see I got 4 weeks to peak for this meet.

 

[Burn Down]

Holy Sheet, the DOMS is starting to kick in good on the wheels:rofl:

Walked for awhile this morning to loosen them up.

Decided to hit my aux. chest/bench day at the new gym. My gym will be open tomorrow and I didn't want to feel like I wasted 25 bucks going to the new place, I'm a frugal powerlifter

Good read if you have a minute. Mike MacDonald is probably the best bencher ever. Oh and the rest of his lifts are Elite status as well... All RAW no Shirts or sling shots...

"Mike has held the world record in four different bodyweight classes: 181.75, (470 pounds); 198.25, (539.75 pounds); 220.5 (573.25 pounds); and 242.5 (577 pounds), surely one of the most amazing records in the history of sport."

The second link shows Mike holding the bar in the opening pic.

Still holds the world record in the bench press for a full meet in 2 weight classes in 77' and 79' let that sink in for a minute...
