I actually like workouts like that believe it or not. Just calling it and letting the body heal always seems to 1)obviously let you repair and 2) makes you very, very motivated to kill the weight the next time you train to make up for it. I always do really well after a bomb session.

Hey Tron, I was going to ask you about you dimensions. I got a titan centurion squat suit, and a titan dual quad deadlift suit that I wore a few times when I was 275ish. So what is your weight, height, quad size, penis length and all of the normal questions. If you are similar to where I was at (which I think you are) you can have this stuff. It is seriously in really good shape, and might even be nice tight gear for ya!

Yeah I guess that is a pretty good way of looking at it Jordan.

I guess right in the moment I kind of feel like I failed somewhat, but as much as I hate the saying "it is what it is". Maybe I should also realize that I don't have to hit a PB every exercise every time, or even match my last personal best if the day is not right.

That's a really nice offer Jordan! I am about 6' 2.5" tall and hover around 278-283 lbs and have the tackle of a baby moth. What size of Titan shirt do you wear? I have some really good condition size 50 S/S Katana's and Fury's that I will not wear now that I have discovered I like the A/S versions better. Also i have some of the same in size 52 from my fatter days.

If those would work for you maybe we can do a straight up trade? I am definitely interested in the centurion that is for sure.

"I am about 6' 2.5" tall and hover around "
You only need to start adding .25" or .5" on to your height if you are under 5'5. Short people do it all of the time.

It isnt a newer style Centurion. It is 5 years old I beleive with minimal usage. It is loose on me and it still offers enough support for a 700+ single. Perfect shape though.

Give me your addy and I wil fire these out to ya!

Oh I forgot to tell you that there is a pouch on the front of the squat suit that was custom made. It is sort of like a kangaroo pouch. When I competed last 5 years ago, I had elephantitis of the nuts.

NICE! I have always wanted a place to keep my attempt cards, and maybe even a sandwitch while I was squatting!

Deload Week
Day 2

- Found out I have an infection in one of my front teeth, I have had it for 2-3 weeks and it was killing me, and hurting my sleep.
- It is in one of the teeth that I have had broken on a hockey net as a kid and crowned
- Have some antibiotics for it and it is doing well, no more throbbing or pain
- Getting a root canal on this puppy

Suited Squat (Loose) - With Belt - No Wraps
- My depth was really good today on video, best yet.
- If I can translate this to a tighter suit that will be great. I have 3 weeks to try.
- If worse comes to worse I will just slap this suit on with some wraps at the meet and giver with it. Still think I can hit a pr doing that.
- Much more fluid, especially in second and third reps. I need to work on making the first rep the best rep. Have 3 weeks to try

Contest Prep
Week 1 - Day 1

- Warm up with leg swings
- Upper body was a bit fatigued from squats when it came time for pressing
- As I get used to squatting heavier I know that I will acclimatize to it.
- Hit my RPEs fast in pressing

Suited Squat (Medium) - With Belt - With Wraps
- x3 \ 5% \ 8-9
- A little bit tough to get used to the wraps, the weight, and the suit
- Use 7 revolutions of the wraps, max I could get without using a roller is about 8
- Good speed up and down, better depth than I thought I would get
- Around parallel, sometimes better.
- I think with more practice in the next couple of weeks I will get depth well
