Tried doing Thibaudeau’s approach yesterday as the second workout of the day (not much of a workout, just come in and do some sets of 3 then 2 in the DL) and while I was very slightly bothered when getting up to the top planned weight which was only 325 – although as explosive as possible so the actual force applied was greater – this morning it does feel a little bothered in the same place that it had hurt before with DL’s, so that sucks. I am sure I didn’t do anything serious with it but it suggests that I may be a long way from, if ever, getting back to using decent weight in the DL. [/quote]
Bill, I really feel for you as training is the love of my life. I was in fact programmed from childhood to throw myself into training ( my parents sent me into every single club and sport and musical activity known to mankind ) to the point where actually that has always kept me from bad relationships, ha! ( I am very grateful to parents for that one - I am pretty sure they saw the potential for trouble coming ).
Or, as I say to all my friends recovering from love affairs: there is no better relationship then a love affair with training.
You are absolutely adorable in your report above; your post was the only thing that put a smile on my face today ( mind you I have been out for most of it ). I want to reply in more depth however I am unable to as I am very very poorly. It has been a Bach and Blanket day - I find the arias specially soothing for constant nausea and vomiting - St. Matthew’s Passion fills the entire room, like being immersed and suspended in water and still being able to breathe ( you must go pool ). I must have had a reaction to the anti-e drugs I took. I can never tolerate drugs of any king as I have no history of needing or using them, recreational or otherwise.
And so, from under the blanket I am now sensing Bach and catabolism and thinking of the loss of strength these days sans food are costing me. So I feel for you and having your DL number drop like that must be a kick in the teeth!!!
However,as you said, you have a bullet proof back and it is your backbone, Bill Roberts, that is going to see you through this. You really really need to get the support of the water - go pool! And don’t make me go down there to take you! 
I will try to reply to your post proper when I am out of this. In the mean time I wanted to send you some info, is your pm function on ( are you accepting pm’s ) ?
