Back feels better than it did yesterday but it's still pretty tight. I'll probably go into the gym tomorrow and bench, hopeful that I can do that without pain. I think it goes without saying I'm not going to be maxing out on my squat this weekend at Quest. I would be overjoyed just to squat period by this weekend but if it hurts I'm not going to rush it. I need to be 100% when I start meet prep so I can't afford to backtrack at all. When I get back from ATL I'll only have 6 weeks to train for RAW United's Tony Conyers' Extravaganza so hopefully I don't lose any strength.

Sweet maybe I'll see you if I get done with work early enough and decide to lift. My only warning is to be careful about setting your deadlifts down too fast, gym owner doesn't like it if you make a lot of noise setting down your pulls.
You can always be thinner, look better.

1) Congrats on benching 3 plates for a few singles again. Get your damn bench up.
2) I am considering investing into and becoming a partner at an already established gym that is looking to expand into a new facility. Would love to get any advice/feedback from you considering you have gone through the experience of opening a gym.

Trained at Quest today, it's a cool gym.
Squat
225 x 5
315 x 5
365 x 3
405 x 3
455 x 1
+Belt
500 x 1 @ 7 * Easy as hell but it made my back angry. I guess I should rest it another week.
Feet Up Bench (Paused)
225 x 5 (3x)
DB Incline Bench
80 x 6
70 x 8
60 x 15
Rolling DB Extensions
30 x 15 (3x)
My back was fine until 500 today so I'm wondering how I should proceed:
1. Sub-maximal squats for volume and/or front squats
Or
2. Give it another week with absolutely no squatting

Depending on how I felt I'd do high bar or front squats keeping the torso upright with sub max weights and higher volume or sumo pulls. Then really high rep band GMs or back raises/hypers at the end and Reverse Hypers.

Thanks. As long as my back is FUBARd I'm going to be experimenting with my programming. I'm going to be benching 4x (heavy, rep, volume, speed) per week and front squatting 3x (heavy, volume, rep) per week. I'll be overhead pressing 2x per week and hitting my triceps in some fashion 4x per week. On my front squat days I'll be throwing in some light PC work, probably band GMs, high rep RDLs, and reverse hypers. If I can't back squat I'm going to push my front squat as hard as possible. I'd love to hit a 4 plate front squat at some point during my recovery. My best front squat at this point is 365.
