24.01.2022 5 months ago, I attempted 170kg for 8 reps. However, on the 8th rep, I injured my lower back pretty bad. I couldn't stand up straight, I couldn't tie my shoes and I was barely mobile for the next 2 weeks. Resultantly, my deadlift went to hell. Since that day, I've been terrified of pulling anything close to that load for similar reps at the risk of being sent back to square one. However, today I said f*ck that. My top working set was 165kg x1+ but I said "hey, what's another ...5 kilos." So I did my first 2 working sets at 130kg x5 and 150kg x3 and then loaded up the bar. It's moments like this that make the pain, the nausea, the occasional dry heaving and indigestion from having to eat so much food worth it. And it also gives us something to think about. As @jockowillink says, GOOD. If I hadn't injured my back, I wouldn't have learnt all I have over the past 5 months, nor would I have been able to develop the trunk stability I now have to move this kind of weight safely. When life knocks you down, you get back up. You learn from your mistakes and from your hardships. Then you get after it.

13.01.2022 TAKE OWNERSHIP When it comes to your training and your nutrition, you need to research how you should go about it. Sure, take advice from people who are on similar paths and have achieved the goals that you want to. But if that's the extent of your research, good luck. ... Because you need to read the articles, the blogs and the studies and if it validates what that person has said, awesome. Nowadays, however, the chances of that happening are pretty damn slim. So do your research, see past the bs and be disciplined in diet and exercise. They're YOUR goals. They're on YOU. So take ownership of them.
