Hope you are feeling better big guy… get that shit sorted out before it gets worse or aggravates something else, wanna see ya kick ass at the worlds!
Im sore as hell today scott, heh. My upper back is not used to taking a beating. Feels good. 
squats- going to stick to front squats for my main lift until i’m healed up. i’m just going to keep upping the weight slowing. 405 felt easy with no sharp, shooting pains down my spine. that makes for a good day.

Good news about the pain free front squats. Hope its a good sign.
Beautiful front squats. If you looked up front squats in the dictionary, there ought to be that video. Take care of that disk!
thanks guys… it’s feeling good right now. going to stay away from back squats until i get the feeling back in my thigh though.
well done. As I noted before when I had the whole bulged disc, pinched nerve front squats were my mainstay for a good while. Your form and stregth is great, nice to watch.
tonight was my last training session before the comp next weekend. from this point until the comp. is very hard for me. i love to train and taking time off is really hard for me.

i thought you were the all knowing one on all that is variant:) these be Schwabs. although, i bring them down further and force my elbows towards my toes more.
3rd attempt will most likely be 500. without a good arch, my numbers are a bit lower.
Meat, best of luck in the comp!
Taking time off is really hard for me too.

There is a chick bodybuilder at one of the gyms I train at who has pink APT wrist wraps. I decided next time I am forced to be a BOF I am going to borrow them:)
No shame in being a BOF. ‘not that there is anything wrong with that’ comes to mind:)

maybe we could plan a BOF meet together. we could walk in holding hands. i’m sure that would freak more than one person out.
It will be okay though… we won’t make eye contact…ever.
