no bro lol ive made massive progress especially with form, didnt even consider that.

only pissed off about factors i influenced and just had a bad day on my squats in general, cant really blame anyone for that. this was my 2nd competition, 1st one in a monolift and proper competition with proper judges etc its very nerve racking.

 

im pretty much over it though it doesnt matter i had heaps of fun and gonna do better next  time. when i say i thought about it heaps i just mean ive racked my brain for a cause and its heaps of small factors.

 

like to give you an idea, are you mad you dropped your 200kg deadlift? its annoying when theres no logical reason for it it just happens cant blame anyone

now that you mention it i am so mad that i dropped my deadlift in preparation for nats and for next time when preparing for nats i will fire my couch and find a new one

[Realtalk]

 Already seen what preloading does before competing and reffing.

[maccaz]

ok back on topic.

only thing im noticing from being in a deficit is much worse DOMS. probably related to supplementation reduction too.

feels nice in a weird way actually, had been a while since i had proper muscle doms

[Realtalk]

It's because the training is different - more reps, time under tension, training more the muscle than the movement. Pretty hard to get doms in your hamstrings from deadlift doubles at 90% but 4 sets of 10 at 60-70% yeah you will.

[HarryB]

Are you having a complete break from supps or just cruise blasting?

cruise currently, then will either have a break or just extend the cruise. undecided.

[HarryB]

OK well as long as your receptors are fried might as well just keep chipping away. Then next proper "blast" you can look at using double the last one to get less effect.... just saying

ok hypothetically if i was to drop it altogether, when would be ideal time and for how long? and pct or no? 

[HarryB]

Now for at least 6 weeks and no pct would be my choice. 

[FellowshipOfTheRon]

isnt there that old adage time on = time off?

just miscelaneous shit to add, its pretty cool how quickly fitness is improving, the last 3 sessions i've done would have had me lying on the ground dying only a few weeks ago. its a mental battle to get through the higher reps but definitely getting better at it. excited to see where im at in another 13 weeks when i start a peaking type program again.

I find when I implement 5x10 as assistance (usually start with  50% of training max) the first week is so fucken tough, but your body adapts very quickly and within a week you notice the improvement quite dramatically.
