Getting the National Record

light workout today, i also decided i would start posting my diet at least on trraining days if not most days in general for comments advice or whatever also lets me keep track of what im eating instead of trying to guess if i ate clean this week or not.

squats
45x20
95x10
135x10,10,10 these were all super fast out of the hole no falling foward and my hips, glutes and groin were all workinging hard, felt to easy hopefully this is a good sign?

deadlifts widened my feet out quite a bit and i was able to feel my quads on these for the first time ever! also a good sign?

Maybe you should take the week off. Alotta lifters on here take up to 2 weeks off after a meet. Give their muscles and CNS a break.

BigNate, I REALLY think you should try out 5/3/1. Its been pretty damn good for my deadlift. And basically anyone who uses the program gets the most out of their DL.

When does winter track start for you?
