    WEEK 6.3
    > 9/1/2013 <

    248lbs

    Took a few extra days off after quitting Muay Thai to recover.
    Ate some extra food.


    Took some C4, and it made me sick as fuck.

    Squat: 210lbs 3x5
    > Finally. I did nearly black out on reps 14 and 15 though. Form was ass. Weight was crushing. Couldn't stop thinking about what I could get on craigslist for my equipment.

    Bench: 135 3x5
    > Not as hard as 130. Passed out after second set. Dizzy after third. Blame the C4 for that.

    Deadlift: 245 2
    > Could not keep neutral spine position. Aborted workout.

    Week 7. Total failure.
    Warmups went well, but got under the 215 squat, braced, and as I pushed it up from the pins something went wrong in my low-back.

    Looks like I'm off for a couple weeks.

    ouch - hope you're OK.

    Are you using a belt? Maybe if you're at risk of lower back issues it's worth a shot.

    also, if you are feeling tight from the lower back injury try doing 1 or 2 sets of 25 squats and RDLs with just the bar - it certainly helped me with a similar issue

    Power clean: 95lbs 3x5
    > No problem.

    Yup, exactly. Deadlifting puts me out of commission. Hopefully I'll heal up, and go back to a regular bar eventually.
