Road to recovery and 1600
Starting a new log since my first one was dedicated to my first powerlifting meet and that's come and pass.
To those who don't know me. I'm Jay. I started training for powerlifting in June of 2015 after a Grade 2 tear in my calf. 2 years now of weight lifting. It would be nice to say things have been smooth up to this point. But I injured myself on my 2nd bench attempt at my first meet.
Results.

It turns out it may be a minor tear. But surgery isnt required at this time. Both medical people I've talked to (one a personal friend and she sent me to a specialist just in case) said I can reintroduce pressing weight slowly and rehab. I have full mobility without pain.
For 2 months I will use The Slingshot and try free weight pressing in February.
At my meet I hit a 1324 total. I would love to qualify and compete for Nationals in the USAPL. There's a meet in January but I will skip that one as there is a meet in April.
Current bests.
Squat 460
Bench 319 (meet. Hit 330 Home gym)
Deadlift 545
