My attitude these days is less than positive. I had to take a moment during warmups to get my mind right. That accomplished, the session went pretty well.
That top single didn't feel soul crushingly heavy, which is a first...I think silent anger works.

Great to see you still hard at it, Chas. And between your coach and the BBM staff you have a lot of resources to draw on.

Sounds shitty, but I've gotten somewhat used to it.
I'm gonna keep at this powerlifitng thing regardless...

Back from the Orthopaedic specialist...
Fortunately, I have no ligament damage...annnnnd I have no cartilage damage, BECAUSE I HAVE NO CARTILAGE LEFT.
The diagnosis is "advanced arthritis". There is nothing that can be done, save a knee replacement sometime down the line when the pain is too much to work around.
So, at this point in time we work in ranges of movement where we can. I think the available movement patterns will allow for a robust enough training effect to still "compete".
Wadda ya gonna do, not train?
No points are given at the end of the day for a body turned in unused!!!

What ever is going on in my knee joint has finally made it impossible to get into proper position to pull effectively, efficiently, and most importantly - safely.

Low Big Wheel Pulls are pushing it. Hi Big Wheel Pulls are no problem...
And so, I'm set up for a session with an orthopod tomorrow: Imaging and consult.
I've been putting this off since August, hoping it would resolve itself...

And another block is in the books. Thursday's efforts left me felling a bit beat up. So I worked into the session, as opposed to sets across. Kept the RPE in the 7 range...
Might have a de-load coming up, might be going into the next training block...who knows???
Based on how I was feeling this morning, I think a de-load is in order.
12 weeks out...
