Officially decided not to compete. There's a million thing I could say but I'm not one to make excuses. Timing wasn't right, I'll be back.
I feel so much more relaxed now. I got a little bit of fat on my frame, and I just feel like lifting heavy. I can't though, because the doc said no inter abdominal pressure for a while to ensure the hernia heals properly. I can still go to the gym, but I can't go all out.
Keep on going to the gym and having fun with it. I want to take a looser approach for the time being. Between work, school, and other stuff, training is a way for me to let go. It's something I enjoy. I don't want to have a stress factor in there, it's supposed to be a stress reliever to begin with...
It's for the best! How was your binge post-competition?? The pictures looked great, zyzz worthy. Nothing wrong with the posing.
Make it 16lbs now, haha! High five all you want, I'm kind of proud of it and I feel so much better.
Here is a recap of the events. Just look at my face, I looked like a vampire on the left, so drained.

The week off and binge eating has been good. I actually think I looked better about two days after the competition after stuffing my face with shit.
Looking good though, mate.

I feel better than ever. That comp event doesn't negatively affect me at all. Besides, how can I convey this when I shrink down to 170.0 lbs and put hand on the hip:

Great leg pump. Focus is on quality reps; full range of motion with a pause top and bottom, engaging the muscle, and a slow eccentric.

190 is definitely my anchor weight right now.
Great pump. Seems light, but I'm going to add 5pounds per week and a full set per exercise.
Again, focus on high quality, controlled rep, with slow eccentric.

TFW half way to the gym you realize it's closed, and the pre-workout shake is also half-way down...
Worked out at home, and I had tickets for the Oilers Game, in the new Arena! The arena is fcking amazing. There's quite a bit of exposed structural steel, which is my scope of work. Also, the architecture is beautiful; a lot of different elevations, different materilas, both curves and straight lines. I'm really impressed.
I left before the third period though. I haven't been this excited for a fight in a LONNNNNG Time, Bisping gonna learn today!

It's really not that impressive. Most powerlifters can lift quite a bit more weight. I'm not pushing for 1RMs anymore either, so it'll probably stay there for a while.
What type of training do you do? Will you be opening a log here soon?

Stretched something in my upper back/neck on the 4th set of OH Press. It'll probably be sore for a few days but nothing major.
Had a great workout nonetheless. Stacked my playlist with Amon Amarth, makes everyhing EPIC.
Love the drums on this one:
Thanks! I think Biceps were always a strong point for me; I need to start ramping up the volume on Tris though.
