What Do Powerlifters Get for Their Birthday

Today I celebrated my 44th Birthday and I am still trying to work out where the last 20 years went?? It's quite sobering to get close to your mid forties but fortunately I still feel (some would say act) like I am still in my twenties.

I am still not on de-load off week as I finish my antibiotics course so the tension of not training is really starting to build. In fact I find myself already thinking about how the bar will feel in my hand on that first deadlift session. 

Given how well my last squat session went I am quite looking forward to getting under the bar. I really feel the mobility work has started to benefit my squat However it's a long road to good form but I am taking it a day at a time.

I am comfortably reconciled that I will be missing States this year but I am fortunate PTC Perth are putting on a Nationals Qualifier a month out so I will still be good to go for Nationals. Given how work is this year Nationals will be a hit and run mission with a flight over, compete then return the next day.  Not quite the trip I would like but it is what it is.

Tomorrow I will take a little about what I am learning about recovery (often the hard way!).

Stay Strong
