EXACTLY! but........


For the past 3wks I have had a super lower back problem. I didnt do anything to hurt it initially so Im thinking it might jst b a pinched nerve or something. but it kills me to squat/daedlift

Which sucks so bad because I need to focus on getting my compounds stronger! I about died yesterday deadling 225x10x2sets & almost collapsed after squating 225x5 because of my lower back!

sigh

Eh, your body's been week for 2 straight competitions. That's alot. I wouldn't be surprised if your tendons and big muscle groups needed to ease back into it.

There's a reason why bodybuilders take rather long breaks post competition.

Hah.

You look a shit ton bigger at 175 than you did at 190, or wherever your bulk was at.

GZ for lower bodyfat.

Will have to do it with your next Gold.

What are your lifts at atm? Bench/squat/dl

horrible .... didnt bb bench once during contest prep. And cant even dl/squat right now cuz lower back.

edit

but to answer ur question...

I did 185x12 the other day on bb bench & 205x6 for a 5th set of bench.

squat... 275x1-2

deadlift I did 225x10x2sets yesterday & had to stop cuz lower back.

the other guys look like they have female bodies compared to urs lol. nice work.

you look way better at this current weight then I've ever seen you

I was just trolling around ... and I read your topic. You've shown some great improvement between competitions; in the most recent competition you looked like you were in a different class than your competitors. Keep it up and don't worry about the post comp stuff. Good luck with your progress. You completely dominated in the last set of pics

Me likey your symmatry
