My trap/shoulder/neck/pec thing is still killing me, even on light RDLs. It looks like I might have to take an extended break from heavy pulling. On one hand it makes me sad because the DL is my pet lift but on the other I'm kind of glad because it will make me focus on my weak points (lower/upper back, quads, my bench) more."Nutrition for powerlifting: If you are serious about it, you will eat f*cking everything and get strong as $hit." - HamburgerTrain

Shoulder/trap/neck/chest still feels like shiit. It started bothering me during the pulldowns so I went really light. Thankfully it doesn't hurt at all while benching, so I can at least focus on getting that horrible lift up to par."Nutrition for powerlifting: If you are serious about it, you will eat f*cking everything and get strong as $hit." - HamburgerTrain

Have you considered putting some Voltaren (or other topical anti inflammatory) on the affected area? I messed something up in my neck (couldn't turn head left without crazy pain) a couple weeks ago and i put some on and BAM! GTG within 20. Hasn't bothered me since

Two things I realized I suck at today: Good Mornings and Back Extensions. I need to start paying a lot more attention to my spinal erectors. In non-lifting news, I leave for Hawaii tomorrow. 7 days of doing nothing but eating and chilling out. I'll probably get a few workouts in at Crossfit Mauii just to keep the grooves greased though. When I get back I will begin meet prep for the 2013 USAPL Florida State Open Championships!"Nutrition for powerlifting: If you are serious about it, you will eat f*cking everything and get strong as $hit." - HamburgerTrain

We found a really cool gym about 2 minutes from our hotel so we won't miss a beat with our training. Squats felt awesome even though the rack felt really weird and I kept hitting it while walking out.

Super pumped about how easy bench was today. I wanted to keep it relatively low intensity and my top set felt pretty light.

Congrats on the marriage brotha, and hopefully enjoying the honeymoon. I am glad to see you and your wife can go train on your honeymoon without the other getting mad for not taking the week off, now that is support because I believe training on vacation is the best (trying out gyms)
I've noticed you never went into detail from when you hurt your pec/delt tie in that it was hurting during pulls but not during presses to now it is feeling better and you will be preparing for a 2013 meet in early in the year, correct? Do you have plans on getting it checked at the doctor, and what all have you been doing, or not been doing to rehab it? Just curious since it was severe one week and now it's not so bad. I am glad to hear that though, as injuries are never fun, especially with such great progression is going on as yours is.Team Norton

Squats felt great today. DLs not so much. This chest/trap strain is going to need some time to heal."Nutrition for powerlifting: If you are serious about it, you will eat f*cking everything and get strong as $hit." - HamburgerTrain

Back to life, back to reality. I'm jet lagged and bloated as hell but I'm looking forward to getting back to training! Here's my squat PR:
I'm just laying off of heavy DLs at that's the only thing that seems to make it worse. I have a tendency to jump back into heavy stuff too quickly after injury so I'm learning from my past mistakes on this one. No DLing this week.
I was 222 today. Oh lawd!"Nutrition for powerlifting: If you are serious about it, you will eat f*cking everything and get strong as $hit." - HamburgerTrain

I think I'm still adjusting to the time change because I slept horribly last night. I still had a good day of training although I had to skip out on conditioning since I felt so horrible.

Another big congratulations on the wedding man.
So do you have a reverse hyper at your gym then???
I take it your cutting after your honeymoon binging? 75c seems so damn low to me though, I think I would die.
Also, there's a chance I might be visiting my grandma this winter in Fort Meyer, if so I'd love to drop by your gym and train. Do you accept walk-ins???Awesome pics. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight you can get. Thanks for the motivation.

Thanks!
Yeah, we have a reverse hyper!
I wouldn't call it "binging" but I definitely ate a lot. The low carbs doesn't bother me, especially since it's temporary. I've already lost 10lbs of water.
Yeah, come on down any time! It's $5 for a day pass."Nutrition for powerlifting: If you are serious about it, you will eat f*cking everything and get strong as $hit." - HamburgerTrain

I felt pretty out of it today, I don't think I'm fully adjusted to FL time yet. Another day or two and I should be back to normal. On the positive side of things, my weight seems to be dropping exactly like I thought it would. If I had to guess I'm probably around ~210 fully depleted which would make my natural weight around ~215. I am going to have my first carb backload on Sunday but I'll probably keep it conservative (~250g cho). Since I'm still around 3 months out and still have the holidays to weather, I'm in no hurry to start gaining weight just yet. If I play my cards right I don't think it would be crazy to lose another 1-2lbs of fat before Thanksgiving."Nutrition for powerlifting: If you are serious about it, you will eat f*cking everything and get strong as $hit." - HamburgerTrain
