Lol @ mega mugs! Is there really such a thing as TOO big?
Anyways, no caffeine sounds tough. Good luck with that!
And thanks for the vids - I needed a reminder on what a nice back squat looks like. I want your back angle!! Its too pretty. I’m going to add a few new stretches into my warmup and see if it helps me with mine :l
I can understand giving up caffeine if you’re just popping the pills. But giving up coffee? No Sirree!!!
Coffee in moderation is generally considered to be a positive healthwise, may I ask why you want to give it up?
Lol Ksnap
Thanks Pete, i am a little terrified myself
Hey Up, thanks. Well maybe just give up the mega mugs lol…i know you have told me moderation but ya know me, i struggle with that moderation stuff 
lol Maschy, your improving each week!
Hey PG, moderation is the problem…3x20+ oz is probably not what they had in mind lol.
3 x 20 oz? at that rate wouldn’t you have to change federations?
3x20+!!!
Ok, now I understand where you’re coming from. LOL.
Up, next time you see G, steal his mega mug!
Ya Pete, i get really conscious when a meet gets close…seriously.
PG more like an addiction right? I am going to do a small cup today before workout. Thats my story and i am sticking to it.
Up should just run the mug over!
Great lifts G.
I’ll be back in the gym today. The weekend ran me over and didn’t get the last shoulder session in.

Yeah, I have been around enough IPF lifters that I understand how closely you have to monitor even your caffeine intake.
Have a sometime training partner that is going to do a USAPL meet soon, don’t know how as he is the biggest stimulant junkie I have ever met, lol.
Thanks Dday, got it.
Lol Pete, He may have to go a few days without…that would suck if your a stim junky!

Abs
Standing ab wheel up ramp 3x10
(2x6, end was 32" off ground, will lower next week)
Hang leg raise
3x12
Inverted sit-ups on GH
3x10
Kept rest 2 min or less
Will hit higher volume abs on weekend.
Last 2 days has been fml, but the good thing is the sun comes up again tmrw. Self induced stress over things i shouldn’t, holding on to things to tight, speaking before thinking, reacting instead of acting, treating people that i have much trust and respect for like i don’t, 2 sleepless nights, blah blah blah. Ending with high squats today…takes deep breath! That about sums it up…
Squat
moved stance in, bar up, less heel feels better on hip. Have to get depth dialed in now
365x10 not one good one
13" box, need to get down to 12" next week
315x8
Bent knee rdl, tried to keep knee bent at top
315/365/405/405 x5
Same SL quad work as listed before
Vid is squat. box squat. and 405 rdl
I’m sorry you’re going through a rough time. Hang in there.
stress sucks, and don’t beat yourself up over squatting high. I know you IPF guys like to do that, but come on, give yourself a little break
I suppose some people need a jumbo mug of coffee!!!
I took a vote …haha
I guess this means you are human, never see you down G 
I suppose this is a bad time to say, what the heck on the squats?
Why are you changing? because of pain?

LOL! Glad Up said what we were thinking 
Sucks about the stress. But you’re right, tomorrow’s another day. And no sweat on the high squats!
Also interested in the new stance. How does it help your hip?
Thanks Snap, i rebounded quickly. Life is too short!
Pete, exactly what i needed to hear, put it all in perspective! Thanks.
Maschy, the sun definitely will come up. Today reminded me of that saying that goes something like…losing doesn’t build character it reveals it or something like that. Life will test ya in many different ways.

As for you miss smarty pants…lol.
I was thinking a coffee transfusion!!! BTW tell me more about primrose oil…jkJFKk
Yesdintnt tell PG), you have never seen me down cause it rarely happens :). I diteeterer last week so i should have known it was coming. But yea, i am back to my happy, optimistic and humbly confident self.
Ha ha ha on squat…i am sure you owe me a bunch of those what the heck on the … lines.
Seriously though, i feel like i sit back almost too far and it seems almost an unnatural movement. I am going to play with these few tweaks and add a heel back in and see if i can get a more fluid squat. The best squatters i can been around have all had a really smooth fluid motion.
