Ok this week was a shitty week. Blew tje 300 bench, pulled hamstring, beat to shit, questioning wtf I am doing..... hoping hamstring doesnt end my meet...

Working on gaining weight going to compete 242 if my hamstring not an issue. Change in gear as well, started drol 50mg day since weight not an issue
 
Still having issues, bruising a little worse today and squatting/sitting, bending at the waist the Hamstring is super tight when I do. Using massage gun, ice and hot baths and see PT again this am.
Good day, man. The main thing is that there are no negative dynamics. In order not to aggravate the problem. I will follow your work with interest. Good luck and you will succeed

Yes, sometimes there are such training weeks that the desire to send everything to hell) Put things in a bag and dump out of the hall) But we continue to work despite injuries and a shitty mood. After all, sport is in our blood, iron as a lifestyle)

and how are you? I am sure that everything will be fine and you will be able to realize your work. In any case, I wish you this, and most importantly, without injuries)

Thanks and I Hope you are right. My PT is being awesome and reaching out to me everyday and making room to get me in where he can. Its still wait and see on squatting.
 
Just a hot mess the last day or two. Pretty upset about the Hamstring injury and its affect on my meet.

2nd prep this year for what? Had to jump up a weight class making me non competitive with the others in that class, then the torn hammy.

Going to try and deadlift my opener today, and then see if I can squat Saturday for my opener but not confident that this will happen. I do have another week before meet so maybe a miracle will happen.

The main thing is to believe in your success and the main thing is not to lose your sense of reason). We are sometimes overly affected by emotions) We are such people))

I think a bruise is a good sign to reduce stress. Since it is possible to aggravate the problem or turn a more serious injury. Be careful

Going to be trying Deadlift this am, hoping can hit my opener, then I know I can push pull as a minimum. Will try squat Saturday and see...

Meet director said I can change from full power to push pull or bench only at weigh in so a week to figure it out.
