I know you said in everyday life you don't feel it, but after these workouts do you feel it while sitting in the car, toilet, in bed, etc?

Whoops. Posted this in the main section and not the log section.

Coming off a terrible meet at Reebok Record Breakers in November. Went in hurt, came out way more hurt. I've been taking a physical/mental break since and my knees are almost back to normal. I've...

Strength will come back pretty quick, just don't rush anything and back off if things start to flare up. Another rest week is better than a forced rest month.

August 26th:

Squat: 4 sets of 5 @ 496 lbs

Leg Curls: 4 sets of 15

That's it. I skipped a few movements today because this workout kicked my ass. 8 weeks off from squatting will do that to me.

I don't really want to, but on April 23rd there are thousands and thousands of dollars on the line (I don't remember the exact breakdown) and it's a wrapped meet.

August 22nd:

Deadlift:
584x2, 3 sets of 3 @ 528 lbs

Romanian DL: 3 sets of 8 @ 264 lbs

584 felt way too heavy for the day so I finished out the day with something pretty light. The 5 days...

I just got done competing at the Boss of Bosses 3 meet. I went 3 for 3 with a 474 lb bench in bench only at 242. I had to withdraw from full power around ~6 weeks out. My old back injury was flaring...

I would recommend purchasing one of the hypertrophy templates from Renaissance Periodization. They are pretty powerlifting specific as well while helping you with what you want to do.

You will probably need to accept the fact that you will not be as strong as you expected on meet day and prepare for that...UNLESS your peak was constructed poorly.

More than likely...it's both....

Higa is the man! And my father.

How many more episodes are coming out after this?

I am hoping to be in attendance at USAPL Raw Nationals in a couple months. I am looking forward to cheering on my fellow drug free powerlifting friends!

Terrible idea.

That is the 100% opposite of a deload.

I love you
