Countdown to July competition

[charger69]

Today I did legs. Much to my surprise, I felt it on the leg press but not too bad. I did have to use my hands to pull me out of the machine. Extended is when it really botheee me.
Bulgarian squat- it hurt most when the swelled leg was in the back, not when squatting with it.
I did smith squats with the legs forward invoking the hams.
Hack squats and dB sumo squats.
I did not feel that I had it in me to try leg extensions.
I feel it below my knee also.
I’m hoping that this pain will depart soon.

This is the part most frustrating to a bodybuilder. You cannot give 100%. You just need to figure it out and give the best you can. Mentally you know your competition is giving it 100%. You want to push, but you know that you may end up with a bigger injury. I may have caused more damage today. Below my knee now hurts, it did not previously.
I need to get going with HIIT.

I weighed 217.7 this morning. The goal 204 on stage leaner than previous comp.
cycle started today.

Just finished “living with a seal” by Jesse Itzler. Amazing read and really quick. You said something in that last note that reminded me of a theme in the book. Getting comfortable being uncomfortable. How you push through. You should pick up a copy, you can thank me later

You made me buy the book. Started reading it. I just started but so far everything relates to preparing for a competition.
