Very time limited today, will try and do squat and deadlift tomorrow.

Knees are feeling a bit saw the last few days, which is a bit worrying since it's the exact same pain I had in October last year that F-up my training a bit (think its some kind of tendinitis)

I think it could be caused by 2 things
1) letting my knees cave in a bit. I noticed on my PB lift that I drifted onto my right side coming out of the hole, which is the knee that gives me the trouble.
2) Dead-lifting in flat shoes, since I only swapped a few days ago.

Will concentrate on really shoving my knees out, and also on ensuring I don't point my toes out too much on the deadlift. If that doesn't work I might swap back to my weight-lifting shoes for deads.

Did random conditioning stuff tonight, some c2 sprints, tyre flips and sledgehammer work, and also the odd set of assisted chin ups. One of the PT jokingly asked me what I was doing in the cardio room?

For some reason I've lost the positioning of the bar on my back, kept on rolling down too low. Really frustrating. Also squats were hard as hell today, need to eat more.

Just did 1 heavy deadlift, testing out my new soft-suit before Saturday's comp.

the 190KG looked easy mate. good luck in the comp.

No offense as i havent read your whole log, but whys your bench so low compared to your squat and deadlift?
