Holy shit. It’s been nearly 3 months since I updated this. Sorry. I’m not holding myself accountable.
I got a full power meet coming up and I’ve been trying my best to focus on it but my squat and deadlift suck. I pulled a muscle on the outside of my quad. Guess that’s the lateralis. [emoji2369] But that set me back early.
I was running NPP in my cycle, was going well and then I started having a weird claustrophobic sensation that would wake me up every night. That was right before 4th of July. I thought I had covid cause I’d wake up gasping for air. The NPP was working so well though that I struggled for 3 1/2 weeks. Basically all of July, before pulling the plug on it. I’m a fucked up mess. But a week after dropping NPP I don’t get the claustrophobic sensation during sleep. I never got that before even running NPP higher. Getting old is so awesome guys.
But my benchpress has improved. I’m debating dropping to bench only so I don’t embarrass myself during squat and deadlift. Going for 485 and 545 for those. Ugh.
Anyway, here’s my 430 lb competition bench. It’s a 15 pound PR and I’m happy with it considering the bullshit during this cycle. Hey remember when this stuff use to be FUN!?!? Ha!
