I did 30,000 IUs for about 8 weeks starting in Jan. With no other changes in nutrition, sleep, supplements and training, my blood pressure has dropped from around 140/95 to 115/80. I've scaled back the D3 to 10,000 IUs and continuing to monitor BP. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eBtV_1UsEUw His video makes sense, but I need to read more about it before jumping to those levels. Also, I watched his sodium video. Do you supplement that? I have been having cramps at night the last handful of weeks. I may try adding iodized salt to my meals. |

I don't supplement sodium but I'm not afraid to down some ramen noodles or some pickles as part of my pre-workout. I have been strict on my water intake, but not paid attention at all to sodium. Since I eat pasta each day I just assume I am getting enough. |

I feel more stable in the squat when I bring my hands in as narrow as possible. It feels pretty rough on my wrists, though. Maybe time to get some wraps

I spent all day Saturday in a skid steer moving dirt around and that bone spur on my knee hated being stuck in one spot for so long, lots of pain. Tried to squat today and was able to do sets at 315 easily and without pain, but a set of 5 at 365 made the bone spur scream. So I'm sticking to doing slow and **perfect** squats at 315 which are actually pretty tough after a few. Can probably do pause squats too, it seems like it's just heavy weight or sitting in one position that really hurts it. Or if I bump it, that's enough to get me to fall on the ground screaming.

Did some bench today with my old lifting buddies. Worked up to a heavy single at 315 and 325. Felt pretty good given my screwy elbow.

Was patting myself on the back for making all my scheduled reps last week.
Then missed reps on squat AND bench yesterday 
Seems like if I miss reps on my first lift it fucks me up on my next lift. Anyone else have this happen to them? |

Started eating pickles to get sodium and my cramps have stopped. I also feel stronger on my lifts.
I was drinking roughly 8 cans of diet dr pepper a day and replaced it with water. I think I let my sodium dip too low. |

Finished off another decent training week (3+ wave):
Press: 205 x 6 Squat: 340 x 8 Bench: 290 x 10 Deadlift: 375 x 14 All were 1 rep PRs, except the DL tied a previous PR. Tonight, I started 1+ week and logged 220 x 4 on the Press; a 1 rep PR. |

Couple of lifting things today:
1. Finally got 480 on DL. My weight is up from 177 to 180. 500 will probably take a few months, it is slow going currently. 2. My belt is getting too big. I've had the same velcro belt for years and love it, but my mid section has gotten smaller to the point it is barely giving me tightness to push out upon during heavy lifts. Any suggestion on good belt? My pant waist size is 32. I don't really want to spend over $50. |

One of you guys showed a link to some presses with a bamboo bar and a way to duplicate that with bands and kettlebells. Can't remember who posted that, but I tried it today on OHP. I did a few sets with plates then swapped out to a bar with a 25lb KB on each end with a band. Weird and hard. I was really feeling it across my back and in the little stabilizer muscles, but I managed to get 5x5 like that. Seems like a good way to tax myself without a lot of weight which still hurts the wrist.

Consider spending the extra money and get a quality 13mm power belt. Inzer is good but there are others. They adjust quite a bit for when you gain and loose weight. The extra money you spend will be pennies over time. thanks for fixing my video link Sooner. |

Be careful with the velcro. Especially once it starts to get older, you may be in the middle of a lift and the damn thing will bust open. If you survive, you will feel powerful. But it could really fuck you up. Especially if you're squatting. Another vote for an inzer. I love the lever. I also ordered an Inzer lever belt. I hope I'll get it someday. |
