Coming in today I really had no desire to pull and my heart wasn't in it. I figured I'd take my ephedra and see what happened anyhow. I had trouble getting set, bar kept rolling away from me, hips were too high, chest wasn't up, etc. It was a piss poor performance to say the least.

This was my final "heavy" day of this training cycle so I'll be hitting my openers next week and then I'll get rested up, recovered as best I can and roll into the meet. It'll all come together in the end.

On a bright note....my grip hasn't been an issue this time around.

 

Week 4 deadlift training. Today was a turd of a day pulling. My setup was atrocious and I was basically doing stiff legged deadlifts. I should be happy that I was able to pull 685 from that poor of a position, but I'm not. Everything needs to be getting dialed in and better at this point and it's not. #Obb #overcome #orlandobarbell #elite #elitefts #eliteftsresilient #vikinglife #beard #beardgod #deadlift #driven #defymediocrity #metal #king #mbriefs #persist #powerlifting #powerlifter
