Perrin Aybara's Journey to an Elite Powerlifting Total

[Perrin Aybara]

Sucks to get those kind of tweaks and hope you heal up fast. That shock feeling in the back does sound unsettling though. Maybe an irritation of a nerve?

I don't really know enough about injuries and anatomy. Seems like it's not too bad, at least not yet, since it doesn't affect lifting. I'm guessing a minor tweak, maybe that beltless 600lb pull from three weeks ago because it was right after that I noticed it. That or the increased lower back work I've added in after the meet. It's off season and I'm mostly still screwing around anyway, so not too worried about taking time.

Ever try a chiropractor?

Ever try a chiropractor?

Yeah, I went to one right before the meet. Might go back if it doesn't improve soon.

Ever try a chiropractor?

A good one is worth it...I go to one near me and $60 a session. Got good results so worth a try.

I go about 2-3 times a month. An oz of prevention>pound of cure

Donnie Thompson low back protocol and if you have a reverse hyper, or make makeshift one, should help. Also glute bridge with iso holds at the top.
If you go to a chiro make sure they know your symptoms first.

I saw @theprodgicalson post those rows. What’s the benefit?

They're pretty tough, can't really cheat. Feel them way more than regular dumbbell rows.

A few weeks in on 4iu of HGH and morning fasted blood glucose still looks good.

On days I'm fasting in the AM I'm doing 2iu the night before at bedtime and 2iu first thing waking up. On days I'm not fasting the next morning I'm doing all 4iu right before bed. Trying my best not to eat after 6pm for a longer fast, but hard on days I'm taking my girlfriend to the gym when she gets off work at 4pm.

Woke up 208lbs today. Doing a little fasted incline treadmill before work right now.

Might get screwed out of working out tonight. When I got here there were several people outside. Nobody's key card is working and nobody is inside to open the door. I texted someone that knows the manager's number and they're supposed to get someone up here, but it's been 45 minutes and still nothing. Gonna wait 45 more and then I guess go home. Had kind of a long day at work anyway. Still gonna be pissed missing a workout because their key system sucks.

Oh that sucks...perhaps have another gym as a backup (if reasonably priced).

There shouldn't be a need with 24 hour access. It's the only gym in town anyway, I'd have to drive to another town for another gym. None of the 24 hour ones are really that conveniently located for me, including this one.

Oh well that sure is rough if that's the only gym that's real close to you. Hope the keycard system gets fixed...and those can be problematic at times.

that shit fucks with my whole day.

I've been going to this gym for years and this is the first time it's happened to me. I gave up after an hour and a half of sitting outside. Gonna have to make it up tomorrow.

Especially if you had to drive a ways to get to the gym...especially after a long day at work on top of it.

It's actually pretty close to my work luckily, just the opposite direction as home.

And I told my girlfriend if we could skip going out for a cheat meal this weekend I'd pick up some nice fillets and of course they were out of them at the grocery store tonight. Silver lining what I got instead along with everything else was cheaper than the fillets alone would've cost.
