Everything is still being done beltless at present. Harvey wants me to really improve my deadlift positioning and learn to keep my back straight and my core braced, something I have historically been awful at and generally just YOLO'd it and hoped for the best. It is frustrating to find it so difficult, but it will obviously keep my back healthy and make me stronger in the long term.Powerlifting log: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=172662011&page=1

I tried sumo for the first time on my warm ups. The plan is to give it a try for a while. I feel I will never pull a heavy conventional deadlift with a straight back and would prefer to use it as an assistance exercise. I think that would be better for my long term health.Powerlifting log: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=172662011&page=1

First time trying sumo. My positioning was a lot better than conventional and also easier to get into. Looked pretty good on camera. Think it will be much better for my long term health/strength. Although I will certainly miss being a purist and did enjoy conventional. Coach wanted to start relatively light and build from here.
Coach and I discussed the importance of 'feeling' exercises in the specific muscles they are meant to be working, something I have always neglected on my accessory work. He cleaned up my technique on the isolation work so I should get more benefit out of it.Powerlifting log: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=172662011&page=1

Thanks bro. Won't actually be peaking for the competition as I plan on competing in April too. Hoping by April (especially once I've learned sumo) I'll be totalling 600kg / 1320lb +. That's the dream
Also I moved house last weekend so everything has been a bit hectic. Work is also manic and it is my birthday today so I am in London all day.
My new landlord has however said the garage we have is only to be used for storage space (it's totally empty right now) and he said I can put my weights in there so that's great news.Powerlifting log: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=172662011&page=1

Sumo felt really good today after Harvey advised to aim to keep my chest high / torso as upright as possible. Made everything move into place a lot smoother and made the whole lift feel better. I went off program today and the 170 felt good.
The competition I had planned to do in January isn't on this year. I'm not overly concerned as the plan was to compete in April too(so not peak in Jan). And as I'm still learning sumo I wasn't looking forward to the crappy total I would be putting up. It's also a lot of stress this time of year, as I get depressed as hell in winter, so I'm kinda relieved.Powerlifting log: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=172662011&page=1

Once again had really bad nausea. I think I need to go to the doctor. I've had nausea for the past month or so now which has been making training/work difficult. My speaker battery also died.
My squat was was meant to be x4 @8. I think the nausea, lack of music and a bad night's sleep last night threw me off. Or perhaps it was just too heavy. It was a good triple though.Powerlifting log: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=172662011&page=1

Third day training in a row. Felt strong and healthy today, no stomach issues which was fantastic. Bench was much stronger than last week and looked good too.
Sumo looked and felt good today. Managing to keep my hips in a good position and keep my knees out while being more patient of the floor. Looking forward to putting some weight on the bar and soaking up all the noob gains.Powerlifting log: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=172662011&page=1

Training sumo on the 10th I felt a very sudden pain in my left hamstring, dropped to the floor straight away. Had to spend ~90 mins at the gym waiting for the pain to settle down a bit and use some makeshift crutches. Had to get a taxi home as I couldn't weight bear (couldn't ride my motorcycle). I decided to take a week off after that as work was wearing me down as well and my motivation to train was practically non-existent.
I have also moved all my training gear into garage at new place. Have just got some lights & heaters hooked up. It's not insulated unfortunately.
I am rehabbing it myself and it's coming along well. I can weight bear fine now. Haven't gone to PT/doctors as it was pretty clearly a hamstring tear. Spoke to Harvey and he wrote me an upper body only program for the coming 4 weeks. I had really fallen off the wagon in regards to diet and training consistency.

First session in the new garage. Getting over a big mental block. I haven't been aggressive with my rehab as I just wanted some time off training. But I slowly walked more until it was pain free, then added in stretches + foam rolling + single leg DL. Now adding in weight. Hopefully have some heavy weights on the bar again in a few weeks.
I will be switching back to conventional DL after discussion with Harvey. I think sumo caused the tear. And to be honest I love pulling conventional, I just wasn't sure if long term it was the safest thing for my back and thought I may have better sumo mechanics. I've never really had any back problems, so maybe I was just over-thinking it.Powerlifting log: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=172662011&page=1

Rehab coming along. No pain today. Hopefully back to pushing the weights on squats/deads in ~2 weeks. Bench felt good today.
I have a cold for the second time this month. Didn't even realise that was possible. Hopefully that's all I'll get this winter.Powerlifting log: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=172662011&page=1

Notes
Past two weeks of work have been hell. Many long unpaid evenings on top of being sick the whole of last weekend. I'm getting back from work barely feeling like I've been hit by a train. Got a week off now though and a week off at the start of March. So hoping the stress levels will go down.Powerlifting log: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=172662011&page=1

Life
After my injury I didn't return to training, work was killing me and I had a serious stomach issue. Mostly I couldn't train because of my stomach but I had no motivation regardless because of work. Luckily now my stomach has resolved and work pressure has eased off a little, but it's still miserable. I am currently seeking new employment.
Due to my stomach issue + stress I ate horrendous amounts of junk food and topped the scale at 94kg / 207lbs. I started training again 6 weeks ago and things have been coming along. I'm currently 92kg, plan is to go down to 86kg.
Currently doing a hybrid program of strength/conditioning to get my strength back and fitness up. And to shift some of the bodyweight.

Bench grip slightly widened as I didn't realise your index finger only had to be touching the ring. Taking it as wide as possible.Powerlifting log: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=172662011&page=1
