    Pull Circuit - 6 minutes steady no rest between exercises:

    Warm up - 250M row

    Now 6 days out from my comp where I hope to qualify for Nationals. As luck has it I caught a nasty cold late Friday and by Saturday was quite sick. I've been putting in lots of OT at work, plus working out 4x/week took its toll I guess. Feeling slightly better today so hopefully be somewhere near back to normal by Sunday.

    single leg extensions - 10,10,10,
    blue band pull throughs - 10,10,10,

    155-5
    275-2,2,2,2,2,2,

    Speed deadlifts
    155-5
    265-1
    315-2,2,2,2 same as squats 4th set felt the best.

    Accessory circuit:
    Twisting knee raise - 10,10,10,
    Suitcase abs - 10,10,10,
    Frog stretch - 10 second hold x 3 each side

    Meet Results:

    I competed last Sunday and despite being quite sick and fatigued met my goal of a qualifying total for Nationals in the M3 age and 105kg weight class.
    In KG:
    Squat - 180, 210 (fail due to depth), 215
    Bench - 140, 150, 155 (failed)
    DL - 200, 225, 235 (failed)
    Total - 590kg
    I know I can do more, but with only 1 month prep, recovering from a groin pull, working a 60 hour week just prior to the meet, and being quite sick with a nasty cold I figured I did OK. The important thing is I qualified, and now have 3 months to prepare for Nationals.

    Today:
    500M row warm up

    For some reason I have a painful lower back on the left side. I was a bit sore from the meet, but its gotten worse all week. Figured just sitting around wasn't getting it any better so did a light workout.

    Workout specific warmup - 12 minutes non stop:
    Poliquin step ups - 25 lb DB's each hand - 10
    Band pull thru's - black band - 10

    Speed Squat
    Bar-5
    110-5
    155-5
    187-2
    187 + 36 chains - 3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3, - 45 seconds rest between sets

    Snatch grip Deadlift
    155-5
    220-2,2,2,2, 45 seconds rest between sets

    Accessory circuit - 3 rounds non-stop:
    Hanging knee raise with twist - 10 (these felt great on my back in the dead hang position)
    suitcase sit up - 10
    tactical frog - 20 second hold

    Well I paid for the last workout with an extremely sore back/piriformis muscle. Could hardly bend over and put my socks on in the morning. Was in pretty good pain the past couple days but today felt a bit better. My son showed me a couple stretches today which really helped. Helped enough that I could do a lite upper body workout today.

    Warm up circuit (no rest between exercises):
    DB bench press 35-20,20,20,
    DB row - 35-20,20,20,

    More warm up (10 minute timer non-stop)
    reverse grip pulldown - 180-6
    Rolling tricep extensions - 20-6

    Speed bench with chains and bands
    133 + yellow bands + 36lb chains - 2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2

    Worked outside today on my beehives on my day off. Armored up the stand where I keep them to keep the bears out. My back felt stiff and sore in the cold. Didn't know how the workout would go today.

    Warm up - 250M row - felt a bit uncomfortable on my back so stopped early.

    Leg warm up circuit (12 minutes non stop):
    Poliquin step up - 25lb DB's-10
    Band pull through's - heavy purple band - 10

    Speed Squat
    Bar-5
    155-5
    199-3
    199 + 36 chains - 3,3,3,3,3,3,

    Accessory circuit:
    Hanging knee raise - 10,10,10, (these bothered me a bit but not enough to stop)
    Suitcase sit ups - 10,10,10,
    Tactical frog - 20 second holds - 1,1,1,

    We'll see how I feel tomorrow. Hopefully no issues. I did some stretching after the workout to unscrew my back
