So I've been doing madcows again, trying to build my strength back up. Still being sick has made me not able to recover like I used to, and I'm topped out way prior to where I was before. My bench is still doing well would be doing 240x3 today, my deadlift is ok, hit 365 for a double wednesday, my squat sucks would be doing 265x3 today but I'm feeling so beat up that I'm going to skip today.
Going to deload next week, then the following week I'm going to start 5/3/1, most likely Boring but Big, but still undecided... might do the bodybuilding accessory lifts.
My only goal since the day I stopped taking the prednisone was to get back to where I was, but I've decided that's a bullshit goal. I didn't get to where I was by saying I want to look like this and lift this weight and that's it.
So I've reevaluated and starting over with tangible goals. Right now I want to pull 405x3 by the end of this year. Daunting as it sounds (didn't budge 385 Wednesday) that's my aim right now. If this goal is met, I'm shooting for 500lb pull in 2013 should I not get real sick again or die. I don't give a **** what I weigh, that's what I want to pull by Dec. 31st.

Thanks. Maybe I can do another one, I just had surgery on Tuesday. I haven't been able to train since August. This was my last meet in May, I took first place in my class and was runner up for best lifter.

Will be 3 months before I can lift at all. Im going to pick up Kelly Starret's book Becoming a supple leopard and work on my mobility. I have to switch to sumo deadlifts to prevent further problems.

If I may ask, was that related to your kidneys or was your surgery on something else?
For as much shit as I give you, you're a hard worker all around. Take care and come back stronger than ever.
