Did a "sort of strongman" comp this past weekend. Only three competitors in my group. I was both the oldest and the lightest, but it was a razor-thin margin on almost every event.
We finished with 19 20 and 21 points, all with some questionable timekeeping. I got smashed out of the gate though with some dude pulling 585 on the deadlift for the first event. Everything else I held my own, or there was literally a second between the three of us. (Seriously 2 out of the 5 events had a two second spread between slowest and fastest) Everything was very close...until the Farmer Carry/Sled Push medley. 210 per hand, 25 yards, then push 8 plates on a sled back. On astroturf. I did it in 44 seconds, a minute faster than the next fastest guy. It was no contest. I was the fastest in that event in any class of the day, which made me feel nice. I was also fastest at the yoke carry, at 525, which made me feel good. Not enough to win, though. :( |

Volume squats-
135 x 20 225 x 15 275 x 10 295 x 10 305 x 10 Pause squats at 225 Maybe it was the lighter weight in combination with the stretching but it was easy to get full depth with my wider stance today. Hoping my intensity day later in the week goes as well, I'll keep working on mobility through the week. I do think the wider stance is a little stronger but my knee bothers me more now. Could be coincidence. |

Did some SSB good mornings this morning. Lowered down to a seated on a bench, then stood back up each rep. I think I like that a lot. |

I went to Paul Howe's shooting school, Combat Shooting and Tactics, over the weekend. I ran a milled receiver AK in 762x39.
Fuck am I sore! One of the big drills is the Scrambler. I ran it partnered with a young twenty-something female. She claimed she was "just a college student." She was a shooting machine and a rabbit, sprinting everywhere. We posted a 9:15 time for the course. I didn't miss a single rifle shot.  Why in the fuck I couldn't perform like that without adrenaline and breathing hard I don't know.  
Great weekend. Great time with friends. Great training. |

I'm pretty sore and exhausted myself....I went street riding last Wednesday through Sunday all through the Ozark twisties. We had a great time and while its not nearly as hard on the body as dirt riding, running hard through the corners takes it toll. I did make it to the gym tonight, went well but still pretty light and easy.

If they won't I would have your dr call in the Rx to a new pharmacy that isn't such a pita. Also, you may want to ask your dr to do the order for the 10ml vial. edit: if you can't get them to ok or do a new fill, maybe the dr office can just give you the shot for this week so they know there's no funny business. |

Losing a vial means instant weakness and sluggishness. 180/week is just about right for me. Even better when I started injecting SubQ instead of IM, it seemed like I need a lot less SubQ. Are you still trying to lose weight? I decided to crank my dose up almost to RoG levels and I've gained some water weight over the last week. Hit a new high score on the bathroom scale 
If I were you I'd stay on the 180mg/week dose as far as the doc is concerned but actually cut it back to 150 and go SubQ. You probably won't feel any different other than less E problems and it will allow you to slowly bank up some extra T vials. |

There is definitely more pain SubQ, but it's not that bad. I pin first thing in the morning and if I'm doing squats that day the belt can hit right on the spot and I'll really feel it, but as soon as I start squatting it not noticeable anyway. Oddly enough the worst pain is when I accidentally go a bit too deep and just sort of get into the muscle under the belly fat. I get a painful little lump that can last a day or two. For the most part the pain is gone in 30 minutes or so. Longer than IM for sure, but not a big deal at all. |

I can get new fill but my insurance wouldn't cover it. So instead of $6 for 3 month it would be like $500. Can't get Dr to do shot because they don't just keep it around. Going to crash.

Check out discount codes on GoodRx. It should only be like $40-$80 for 10ml at places like walmart/walgreens/etc. and only like $10 for 1ml. |

For the most part the pain is gone in 30 minutes or so. Longer than IM for sure, but not a big deal at all. Nah I'm off cycle now and just finished PCT. I feel pretty fucking great still. I was concerned that coming off was going to jack me up, but it hasn't. I believe this is due to taking HCG while on cycle. Sex drive isn't like a 15 year old anymore, but it's still probably like a 25 year old, so that's pretty good. Dick still works too so that's a plus
My bigger concern is that with Test P it's already more painful, and you have to inject small doses. I would need to inject at least 1cc, and I don't know if that's wise with Sub Q....doing .5CC every day might be an option as well I suppose. The other option is 1.5CC EOD IM and that's also going to suuuuuck. |

I thought being a little insulting in the title would limit the competition for a free membership. There are some pretty big boys that are already trying to get their shit together, it's going to make this a tough decision for me. I'm really curious to see how this plays out. I may end up buying two plus my own. |

Others I limp pretty bad because it burns like a fother mucker. I've gone to seated ohp. That helps some. Pull-ups, bench, and dips are fine. I can't even stand to curl anymore. My back won't take the standing with 60-115 lbs for a few min. Lots of skull crushers because there is no pain there. I'm still doing light deads more for mobility... It's not really a dead if there isn't at least 135 lbs... I'm doing 65 lbs. lol. I'm doing a few unweighted Bulgarian split squats. Some bodyweight squats. Just trying to keep loose. No barbell squats. No jump rope. Can't. Meds take the pain away, but it's coming back a week after I'm off of them. I could bench quite a bit right now, but someone has to load the plates for me... So I'm just sitting around watching Rex and hiz post lifting stuff and poetry on Instagram. I'm pretty much fucked. |

Shortness of breath, coughing, tight chest, and dizziness at worse. Most times there are few felt sides. If you hit a vein good, you might even taste alcohol in your throat a little. But this is rare. The good news, is you'll live. Lay down for a bit if you feel bad. Usually in 45 min to an hour all the sides will be gone. If you still feel bad after that, it's probably all of the tacos you ate that is making you sick. |

Once in awhile I'll punch through a vein. Usually I feel a little pain while it goes through so I know to expect a stream of warm blood running down my glute when I pull the needle out. |

If you still feel bad after that, it's probably all of the tacos you ate that is making you sick. No, I felt awsome. Like I was a bear with the strength of 2 bears. Next time go for an artery!
Once in awhile I'll punch through a vein. Usually I feel a little pain while it goes through so I know to expect a stream of warm blood running down my glute when I pull the needle out. Yep this is what happened but it was my quad. |

My quads are always tense(working on that) so the idea of stabbing into hard muscle weirds me out still. |

lol I had a garbage squat session yesterday. There was a cold breeze and I couldn't close the garage door because the kids were all playing. My hips just felt like garbage and exposed. Couldn't get warm, until the last few sets. Deadlifts on saturday went well. Did some sets of 7-10 reps at 4 plates. Some sets at 5 reps at 455 and then a double at 505(would have been a triple at least, but I was seeing stars so I decided to leave it at two and live to lift another day). Hit volume at 3 then 2 plates after. Since I have been focused on bench press I haven't really been going above 405-455 for deads. But decided I needed to start hitting some heavier volume. Other than this shitty squat day my squats have gotten a lot better. My hips mostly feel stronger and I am able to do more volume in all weight ranges because of it. I don't feel like my form is shitty because of my bad hip anymore. Box squats are a huge factor in this. |

Some days are not too bad and I'm able to ignore it. Others I limp pretty bad because it burns like a fother mucker. I've gone to seated ohp. That helps some. Pull-ups, bench, and dips are fine. I can't even stand to curl anymore. My back won't take the standing with 60-115 lbs for a few min. Lots of skull crushers because there is no pain there. I'm still doing light deads more for mobility... It's not really a dead if there isn't at least 135 lbs... I'm doing 65 lbs. lol. I'm doing a few unweighted Bulgarian split squats. Some bodyweight squats. Just trying to keep loose. No barbell squats. No jump rope. Can't. Meds take the pain away, but it's coming back a week after I'm off of them. I could bench quite a bit right now, but someone has to load the plates for me... So I'm just sitting around watching Rex and hiz post lifting stuff and poetry on Instagram. I'm pretty much fucked.

Seems like you do have some stuff you are able to work at which is great. Maybe take this time to change your focus a bit. Since you are limited to movements that are supported and/or don't jack up your back you may want to think about following more of a bodybuilding routine for awhile. Really pump up and grow the muscles. Then when you are able to get back after the big compounds you will have a bigger foundation to do it from. You can do a crazy amount of stuff from an incline bench with some adjustable dumbbells. Back to the bench and at different angles you basically have all the presses and curls. Chest to the bench you can get after everything from your rear delts, to traps, to lats, etc. For leg stuff you could get one of those cheesy benches with the leg attachment to hit quad extensions and hamstring curls. All of these things are with your back supported. Work in the hypertrophy range and chase some pumps. Just some thoughts. |

But I'm not up on bodybuilding stuff. I've only ever worked hard on the four barbell lifts and a few accessories. Need to look into a bodybuilding program to run. I've got dumbells from 5 up to 45 lbs. I'm planning on buying up to 65s. I can bench my 45s 5x15 pretty easy. I might look into a good incline bench too. The cheapo leg machine attachment is a good idea. I hadn't thought of that. Did chest yesterday. I can load the 5s, 10s, and 25s on the bar easy enough. I was surprised that I've got 160 in sub 25 lbs weight. Then worked with the 45s for a while. |

I ran a CFT at drill last weekend.
Perfect score. Not a huge deal..but..then I weighed in 15# over my max allowed weight. I'm pretty proud I can run a 300 CFT while 15# overweight

Seth Feroce has some good videos on how he trains and where his focus is. I haven't read it, but now may be a good time to get Arnold's encyclopedia of bodybuilding book. Crazy amounts of information out there in the wild. |

Still chugging along on my deadlift progression.
Also, did the following barbell bro shrugs: 50 @ 225 40@ 275 30 @ 315 20@ 365 With 10 banded back extensions on the GDH in between each set. I have gumby shoulders now. |
