This was the first time I've had that much weight in my hands since my meet in August. The speed obviously wasn't what it once was, but that is completely expected. Other than that, there's not too much to comment about this session other than heavy walking DB lunges fucking suck.

I found a great chiro that does ART...had my psoaz issues taken care of in 1-2 visits. I could barely walk when I went in...

Both my training partners go to a Dr. that specializes in ART. They told me I need to go, I'll try it out.

Shoulder felt good enough today to where I gave bench a shot. I had to bring in my grip a finger to alleviate some of the pressure on the shoulder, but it felt really nice to actually bench again. I forgot to update this earlier, but I'm ~215 right now following a quasi-hybrid of IF and CBL. At this point in my life, IF has just become natural as I don't get hungry for several hours after I wake up in the morning and this allows me to indulge more often and it lessens some of the damage since I'm not constantly bombarding my insulin levels.

Today was a fantastic day. Things felt a little off while I was working up and I nearly missed one of my unracks. I lowered the height and then everything clicked. The speed was a tad slow out of the hole and then it flew up once I was ~2" out of the hole. In hindsight, I should've taken one more set with reverse bands since I hit a good groove. However, I don't have a meet coming up and this was plenty of improvement for me.

As with most fast-acting orals, I've noticed that this combo is a glycogen monster. I've been really slamming down the carbs at night (~400-450g) and staying dry in the morning. I'll weigh-in tomorrow, but I'm almost positive I'm close to 220 right now.

It took me some time to get the shoulder set, but I was able to get rocking about 15 minutes of band and mobility work. Yesterday was ultra hectic and my eating suffered, which is why the volume today was pretty low.

It's early, but no sides to report as of now. What I have noticed is that I am very dry. I've been dosing 3 caps/day with a meal.

Exhausted. I'm freaking exhausted. Worked up to my highest pull in probably 6 months and could've easily gotten an extra 30-40# with some Tork and straps up. Based on my previous run with msten, it should start to kick in really soon in terms of scale. I don't weigh myself daily as I fluctuate depending on what day it is.

btw: do we get before and afters?
