I always come back stronger from a deload... Always worth it!

Agreed the week of the meet I did nothing but the meet really and it drove me crazy then I did not deload the week after the meet like I normaly do.... Wrong move. We live we learn and then we relearn too LOL

Legs

Squats
135x5
225x5
315x3
335x5
315x5

Good Mornings
135x12
135x12
135x12

Leg Ext
100x20
100x20
100x20

My groin tendon was starting to hurt on the 315 and above sets, I would have kept going but I also felt the muscles around the tendon really tensing up to protect it and I figured they were telling me to take it easy. Squats are my favorite so not being able to do them heavy makes me sad face....

Thanks Pik! I have learned it is much better to listen to it than get injured I have been injury free now for 3 years I get hurt but I always allow myself to heal so it does not become an injury where I am out for months only a week most of the time! If you are smart you can train when hurt but you must listen when your body tells you to stop!

You don't feel that in your lower back? It's hard to keep from leaning backwards, sometimes I feel it if tighten up..

I do a lot of core work so lower back really doesn't get much I am good at stabilizing with entire core.

Maybe you should grab a chair and pop it 70-85 degrees and hit shoulders. That weigh you don't hurt your lower back? (And can't use momentum to get that shit up). So better work out all around

Then you do not use your stabilizer muscles. If you are doing them for aesthetics that would be the best way. When doing them for strength you want to put the stress on the core to make it stronger.

Hey, just wanted to say awesome log, you are a monster. No wonder you're a little banged up, with powerlifting, high volume workouts, hours of ju jitsu, HIT, swimming, cardio.... I'd be overtrained in about a week with all that man! Your body obviously has pretty good recovery ability.

Keep up the good work brotha!
