I had more pain than last week. The cramping/tightness was definitely down. I iced my low back afterward to get rid of the pain.

Worked up to my opener. I'm hoping the meet goes well!

UPCOMING MEET

USAPL KANSAS HEAVY METAL OPEN

This will be a bench press-only meet for me. I am still working on the rehab for my SI joint (chiro visit tomorrow).

My attempts will be as follows:

1st attempt: 315
2nd attempt: 355
3rd attempt: 375

This is my plan so far. The third attempt is roughly 1.5 times my bodyweight. This isn't so impressive, but I'm pretty pumped about it.
