Growing Pains
Well my offseason has been going great. I’m getting stronger, bigger, and my bodyfat is staying in check. I think this offseason has been one of my most productive thus far. Unfortunately I’ve had some shoulder & lower back pain these past few weeks that has persisted. Even though I’m in the midst of gaining a lot of strength & setting quite a few personal records for myself along the way (squatting 315 X 20, 405 X 8, and deadlifting 535 for 2 sets of 5) I do not want to push myself into a long term injury. So for the next two weeks i’m scaling back my training. I will be doing the same sets & rep scheme but I will reduce weights to 65% of my normal. Hopefully that will be enough to allow my body to recover and hit it hard again.
