Weight 208.6

Had a 3 day business trip that cut into my workouts. Also been fighting some nagging soreness in my right foot and back.

Today morning:

Squat:

Reverse crunches:
35, 30, 30

Press:
3x5x180

BB Row:
3x5x185

BB Curls:
3x8x85

Squats were pretty brutal. Hips felt really tight and left quad felt weird.

Good Beers:

Paulaner Hefeweizen
http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/124/1256/

The first two are local Ohio micros that were both pretty good. The Musk in particular is a very refreshing IPA. I've never had the Tucher Hefe but it was outstanding. The difference between it and the Paulaner was pretty obvious when I drank them back to back. The Paulaner in itself is a very good beer, but the Tucher is on a different level, close to Weihenstephaner.

missed the 5th rep by a few inches and had to rack it in the second set of hooks

Deadlift:
3x315
1x365
5x415 (straps)

Got a new 3 inch belt that really helped with deadlifts and doesn't cut into my pelvis when I get into the starting position.

What sort of belt did you get? Best Belts?

Best wasn't taking orders for the longest time so I got this General Leathercraft:

I'm satisfied with it.

I also got my girlfriend a suede covered 2.5 inch belt from there but compared to my Best 4" the quality is not as good. However, it is cheaper and it was delivered within 10 days while my Best took like 45 when I ordered it.

Overall, I expect the belts from both manufacturers to last a lifetime, but the Best is clearly the better belt.

Cut most carbs on Sunday; would like to get to 200ish within a month. I woke up at 210.0 today and the cut will continue, so I'm dropping volume in favor of intensity. Deadlift was the main lift that I really struggled with yesterday, but that's to not unexpected. I also had a bad night's sleep which didn't help.

Weight this morning was 208.6

My lower back has been really sore. I have a recurring problem in my left SI joint, that seems to pop up every time I approach sets of 350 and 430 on squat and deadlift. I thought about taking the rest of the week off but I ate some carbs last night (breaded chicken!) and didn't really want to waste the energy.
