gonna workout at home tomorrow after practice.

had our first double session today, went good for me. I'm fighting for the starting left guard position on varsity, i messed up a little at first, but once i got calm and use to everything i got better, the last play i was in today i made a nice pancake on a blitzing lb, so i am gonna keep fighting for the spot

Grats on the PR. Keep it up!

much appreciated, in the middle of a workout right now, but took a lil break due to my back, i've had tremendous pain in my lower back for the past 2 weeks, no clue what to do to make it go away, its been very hard to hang clean and squat, but i did hang cleans today and it flared up a lot, got another pr on bench though

bench press
5x205
5x205

5x215
5x225 pr

hang cleans i did 5x5 my first was 185, then the rest were 205, went pretty easy except for the back pain which isant helping anything right now

edit: wow, i just went in to do a deep squat set of 205 for 10 and after the first one when i went about halfway down i could feel my back pain very sharp, im gonna lay off from any type of cleans for about a week or two, and try to let this thing heal, if it doesnt get better, i might have to go get this checked out.

you get messed up in practice? or did your form slip?

Goals:
-Find more time to get to the gym..

nah my form didnt slip or anything, last time i did them i was still able to do 205 for 5x5, i think i messed up my back doing deadlifts about 2 weeks ago, and then whenever i go to practice since im still lifting, having to get down in a stance constantly since im a lineman just makes it hurt more, but i havent had the pains as bad in a while, im gonna lay off of the cleans for maybe a few more days then try them again next week and see how my back reacts to it

yea, i guess im not good enough to play varsity, but i also guess thats why our team is 0-2 and just got blown out 38-7 hahaha, imo i think i should be starting guard, but whatever, as long as i get to play i dont really care
