Hmm sounds diff. than my f-up... No way I could where a belt for a month and half.
Mother of God my back is screaming at me this week. Since I did bench, curls, and dips last saturday. Form probably got out of wacky on the last set of standing bicep curls...that would be my guess anyways.
Hopefully I can get my gym membership tomorrow and go do more diverse bunch of lifts...and best of all leg press and squats

Deadlifts last night
barx10
135x10
225x8
315x5
405x3
485x1
500x0 came up about an 1", probably had it but didn't feel like tearing my back up to bad for it.
16 minutes of elliptical...
206.8 BW as of this morning
May have to work this weekend so probably won't compete, which kinda sucks... Honestly I'm not ready for this meet, I could pr a couple lifts by a few pounds but that isn't what I want at this point. I need to make some giant gains on my squat, it's killing my total.

I haven't pulled anything over 455 in a couple weeks Matt. I also tried 485 then and it didn't even budge, so the goal last night was to smoke 485. For sh*ts and grins I decided to give 500 a ride... Basically a hero attempt, it wasn't the goal for the night.
I have some good numbers to start a new training cycle with. I'm going back onto Candito's 6 week program as I seen the best results with it. These 12-16 week programs wreck me somewhere around the 9 week mark and I just never recover...

485 pissed me off pretty good a couple weeks ago... So I made sure I tore that sucker off the floor like I was reclaiming Thor's hammer:thumb:
I'll just say my bottom 4 discs in my back are shot. All stemming from self inflicted injury due to poor and at times completely wrong lifting techniques at work. The 2 docs I've seen both want to fuse 3 of my vertebrae, but at 27 I'd like to have some mobility and be able to play with my kids.Wait, wut.
Curlz hurt your back? Thats a new one

I don't even bother squatting anymore. At 38 with a pinched sciatic and questionable back, I can get the mass I want from leg presses.
If it worked for Dorian Yates, it can work for me. The guy didn't squat for most of his pro career due to hip issues.

No your good. That's why I chime in time to time. This thread is a great tool for me and has taught me alot. Tons of ways for me to get better and help my body fix itself

Good to know. I like squats but the pain after heavy ones not so much

That was my problem...the only way I could get a good leg pump was to rep 300+lbs, but the next 3-4 days my back would pay the price.
A good leg press takes the back out of the equation.
Don't get me wrong, squats are the king of exercises, but self preservation comes to mind. I'm not competing, I'm raising a family, does me no good to be in a hospitcal
You guys need to find that Pit Shark and let us know how your back feels after.
I had to google that...never heard of it...
I have one of these in my basement: http://www.bodysolid.com/Home/GLPH1100/Body-Solid_Leg_Press___Hack_Squat
Along with a buttload of other equipment
Hence why I said "mass" and not strength...I don't need to squat 405 for reps to get by in daily life, so whats the point of trying to injure myself for nothing...
