Take 2.
So, Monday I went in after work for my heavy pulling day. Was suppose to be deadlifts. Had a few realizations. One thing I like about the conjugate/Westside style is that you have flexibility in your primary lifts. What I was doing, there was none. I was suppose to deadlift so I deadlifted. The other realization was that at my current weight, 342 I can't get down to get the bar in my deadlift suit, straps up or down does not matter. So, I've got to drop about 12 pounds for it to fit right. That'll be easy. I didn't even feel like deadlifting, so after pulling 500 once very off balanced because of my suit I decided it wasn't meant to be and I'd try again tonight with something I'm more comfortable with. So tonight I went in, did rack pulls from the bottom pin while standing on 3/4" plywood. Pulled 500 really easy, went to 550, it wasn't easy. A nice grind but I got it no problem. Problem came when I was putting it back down and I felt a slight lower back pull. It's not excruciating fortunately, but it came with nice timing since I'm going to the doc this week for a checkup anyway. Been over a year since this happened so I should have been expecting it. Anyway, so now I get to try to rehab this a bit while training for a meet, that should be even more interesting.
