Not sure how I missed this post. I have seen a little bit of his stuff in the past, I’ll have to check out some more of his stuff related to log press though
Day 97 update:
Nothing new to post with respect to my cycle or sides. Still virtually no sides except mild insomnia.
Training has been going well. 5 out of 6 of my event lifts have increased quite a bit during this peak. For some reason my log press seems to have stalled around the 275 mark, and has been stalled right around there for 2 years.
I hopped in the bodpod the other day to see where I stand vs March (16.7% BF at 247). Well Saturday morning I hopped in and apparently I am BB stage ready at 6% BF at 233 lbs BW 
Realistically I believe I am much closer to 10-11%. I got slightly leaner than I was in the photo posted from September 3rd (post 129). I guess this just goes to show that even the bodpod can be manipulated (which was not at all my intention).
My yoke work has gotten much better. I took a 645 lb yoke for 60’ in about 17-18s. I was supposed to hit a 715 yoke for 120’ after that, but that wasn’t meant to be. I took it about 5 feet before my low back/hips couldn’t take it. I didn’t have my hips under me and I just kinda screwed up the lift.

Well I weighed in the morning, fully clothed (shoes too) at 230.1, so I was well under the 231.4 mark. Currently I weigh about 233 naked (I was around 227 when I weighed in).
There’s really been nothing negative to note with this cycle with respect to sides. Today I am working on rehydrating and tomorrow and Saturday I get to go leave it all on the platform.
Notable lifts from training:
285 lb log press
285x3 axle clean and press
600 lb wheel barrow deadlift got 16 reps in 30s
675 yoke for 60’ in about 17s
610 wheelbarrow run 60’ in about 12s
45 lb sandbag thrown to about 17’
I don’t expect to win, but if I go out and perform the way I know I can, I think there’s a good shot I can be top 20% (top 12, there’s about 63 guys signed up) and get an Arnold bid.

Well I won’t go into too many details as far as reps or placement, but I will say I still did fairly well for a guy that ripped my lat off of my humerus

That sucks. What is the recovery time. Did you keep going after that? Was it during stones?
I happened on the first rep of the deadlift, which was the second of 6 events. I did the other 4 events after that as well, and I still crushed the deadlift event. I have an MRI to confirm the tear on Wednesday. Recovery time will depend on the mode of rehab (surgery or not).
I don’t want to get into reps or placement because that will immediately give away my identity lol, but I still did pretty decent for such a catastrophic injury.
EDIT: on an unrelated note, I am coming off of everything and going back down to TRT at this point. I don’t think halo is a good idea for me anymore. Every time I use it I injure myself.

Yeah, It’s one of the reasons I am not using the ton of Anadrol I have, and haven’t ordered superdrol. Seems the guys I know who run the stuff that is the best for strength have more injuries. Could just be that they are a lot stronger than me lol.
That’s some Rocky type shit there. I once finished my deadlifts in a comp after a quad cramp, so I am pretty tough too lol. I probably would have called it after that if I am being honest.

I probably should have, but it didn’t really hurt so I didn’t think too much of it. Hindsight is always 20/20.

Goddamn warrior over here. Glad you put up good numbers. Bummed to hear you got hurt. Give yourself some time to heal, you’ve definitely earned it, man.

It’s a gift and a curse. I always tell people that I am “too stupid to quit”, and I certainly proved it this weekend.
