This week will be an off week from training, I need it. I will be doing some GPP work this week, up till wed, but thats about it. My shoulder has been bothering, so I'm going to start having my wife kinesio tape my back for my shoulders tomorrow. Help take some work from the internal rotators off and make the external rotators work more.

Having the almost 2 weeks rest was definitely great on my body, and I felt very fresh today. I wanted to 100% max out, but 80-85% is where we will train on max days. Tomorrow is bench and I'm really pumped up.
You felt that the week of made you stronger resistance wise as well? Asking because of so many sets of back to back deadz
I got another stomach bug on tues and wed, so I didn't train on (i didn't work yesterday) either of the days. It was pretty bad! Once I started taking some good probiotics, I really started to feel better. Not 100%, but it made things better. This morning I definitely feel great, and I'll proceed taking probiotics for LIFE!
Soon after my cycle I could use a good off week as well...
sucks about the stomach issues bro, which probiotics are you on?
I got on some inner-eco probiotic kefir liquid. I'm feeling way better and I was able to train today. My hips ARE NOT LIKING ME! I think I need to switch to traditional stance squats. I felt a horrible pop in my left hip on one of my last sets. I know it's not too bad, but it just doesn't feel good. I've been stretching like a mofo, hip mobility stuff, but hitting depth with wide stance is literally a pain in the hip. I feel it can't be good for the long run. My hips don't hurt me during sumo anymore since I adjusted the height I'm pulling from... So I'm good on that front, but I need to rethink the whole wide-stance squat deal.
My psoas is the tight muscle. My wife did some trigger point release on the muscle last night and I stretched very good!
Yesterday was ME Deadlift same workout was last week. We will be be doing a 10 week strength block going into the meet which is Sept 21st.
The psoas is still really tight but I really didn't have any issues deadlifting yesterday.
Good news about the psoas muscle, its a lot less tight today. The trigger point release the wife did on me last night hurt like a mo fo, but its def helping!!
