I can't believe I've been getting stronger and leaner, it seems impossible.

I eat clean but I don't care what it is. Homemade pizza is clean in my book brother. If I can't meet a certain number I'm eating out for calories

Same here. We make homemade pizza with whole wheat crust, lean meats and fresh veggies. I've actually been eating pretty normally all week, I guess the stress of my situation right now is just taking the weight off me. I'll just have to step things up a notch to compensate.

Switch your egg whites out to whole eggs every little bit helps. Also is everyone on this thread still injured? Hard to keep up with who isnt.

@theprodgicalson is pretty much the only one not injured.

I wouldn't really say I'm "injured" right now, just have a few dings here and there. I'm still able to train mostly normal though. Nothing serious, thankfully. I deloaded this week because I've had it scheduled for weeks, not because I had to because of injuries.

@Perrin Aybara I can confirm from years of way too much experience that eating whole pizzas will help you put on lots of weight. lol

I go to my primary to get a referral for getting my leg scanned on the 10th. Depends on what they tell me will decide on how I participate. I'm afraid if I don't let it fully heal I'm going to end up fully tearing it. Worst case on my end I'll bench and set my state record and 135 and out on squat and pull

I only know one powerlifter outside of here and he doesn't do near the contest prep you guys do...he's also natty so that might be part of it. I've been wondering if the amount of prep work/training you guys are putting in is normal for this sport?

For guys at our level I would say yes, but I don't know any powerlifters in real life.

I don't know honestly. I've only ran super high volume programs. I did great the first I ran. It was too much I think trying to recover from an injury.

 

[Kakarot]

I've been leaning more towards powerlifting/ strongman stuff lately. This has been my motivation thread you guys need to get better.lol

 

[Perrin Aybara]

I was injury and ache free the whole off season and once I started meet prep it's been non stop injuries. Strength sports are hard on the body sometimes.

That may have changed unfortunately. I may just be REALLY sore as it feels muscular, but my adductor on my left side is giving me some shit. Along with where the hamstring and glute come together. Which are both related. Didn't do it while lifting or anything just woke up after squats the previous day and it hurts. I don't think it's too bad though to be honest.

Squats
400
3 sets 5 reps

SLDL
