Draggin' in a big way. No idea why, but likely due to caloric deficit.
Started with B-Ala/creatine, used TrueNutrition MGPM during. Warm-up was bar/weight only.
Comp bench x2@8 + -5%: reached 220kg, did several fatigue sets at -0%
Pin squat + chain x2@8.5 + -5%: reached 250kg on the bar (was a 9), did 2 fatigue sets at 0%
JM Press x5@9 + -5%: got to 100kg and stopped. Kept strict form, no pain in any joints. Did a fair number of sets.
Likely to do a bunch of make-up work tomorrow, including a lot of rowing/pulling.
The heavier classes of Olympic weightlifting were incredibly good comps, both men and women -- highly recommend watching them. Let me know if you need help finding them.
When I tore my vastus lateralis, the orthopod was astounded at how high my attachments are. He said he'd never seen anything like it. Net effect for me is that I eternally look like I have chicken legs. For goodness sake, I've hit geared squats over 800# and look like I have frat-boy sticks. Worse, my briefs are getting super-tight way up at the openings from big hips, hams, abductors and adductors. But I have no teardrop -- my quads low are pathetic. I'm open to any suggestions. Lots of partial hack squats out of the hole? I'll do anything to at least feel a little balanced.
Gorgeous day here. Closed a solid deal this week worth several million. At least now I can pay a few bills, once that check comes in. I need a few more if baby's going to get a new pair of shoes (translate: a house, a new used car, anything more than getting out of debt), but getting entirely out of debt would be peachy. For all of us struggling in this economy, I feel it right there with you. Hang tough, all.
Have a great day.
