Manveer Gets Competitive

[Mahendra]

You forgot to mention his dashing good looks.

Would it make you jealous that I was able to see his dashing good looks in person?

Hope it goes well for you; you're a strong guy and you lift well, too.

All the best with the meet manveer - hope you crush it mate! [emoji106]

Beastmode. Good luck with the rest and practice openers, you've put a whole lot of work in. I'm excited for you. I have confidence that you'll crush it, and, more importantly, that you'll have a great time regardless.

Thanks, guys. Appreciate the kind words. Definitely helps me mentally going into the meet.

I'd be thrilled with that. Qualify for nationals and hit 3 milestones (almost, 405 bench is the milestone because 'murica).

Squat w/ belt
545x1 @8
Felt OK, but moved slower than I expected. Got some back pain on 495 warmup and then again on the 545 rep. I think I tweaked my back a little last week on the second squat w/ belt day. Thought it was pretty mild. Didn't hurt at all until I was warming up today.

Comp Raw Bench
352.5x1 @7.5
Not much to say here.

Deadlift w/ belt
525x1 @8.5
Back pain was more pronounced here. Not sure what I'm gonna do. Sleep and ibuprofen I guess.

Good luck down in Morgantown this weekend man! If you hear banjo music or see Bobby Huggins, run the other way.

Hope the back has settled down for you, but you'll crush it regardless.

Thanks, Dave! Lol.

Back is feeling better. I have been taking 2400mg/day ibuprofen since yesterday morning. Also did a bunch of stretches and stuff last night. Not sure if it helped, but it feels good. Tried to get a massage appointment but there was no availability.

I'm happy with how this session went because a)my back is feeling significantly better and b)bar speeds were faster on all heavy warmup singles today relative to last session. I think this means I didn't peak early like I did last time when my mock meet went very poorly. Hopefully I am right and I don't detrain from now until Saturday.

Don't worry you won't detrain. Remember "Manveer smash!"
