I’ve spent the entire day moving roughly 9,000,000# of equipment from the Palm Springs Convention Center back its home at Functional Equipment (and you can still buy it HERE), so I didn’t have time to write up one of my traditionally over-gushy recaps. Instead, Sexyasfuck has taken care of it for me…

Note: For those who can do this programming RX’d day after day… HOW? And how when do you take rest weeks/ multiple days? I want to workout more, but it’s impossible for me.
Question: I tore my erector several months ago, it’s still really bothering me. I was against using a belt other than max lifts, should I train with one always until it gets better, or take time off completely until it heals?
If you are eating and recovering properly your body will adjust, with some growing pains, to the volume after a few weeks/months. If you need a rest day take it. If you need to go lighter some days do that. Prilepin’s chart and the bearded wizard will never hold all the answers for your own body. If you are really interested in adjusting, it’s in your best interest not to cheat the work – OHKB swings require more power output than chest level – don’t kid yourself. I have never heard of a torn erector – it is an extremely uncommon muscle to tear, but if you are injured take the necessary time to heal and restart the work gradually. If you understand the purpose of a belt you will be able to determine whether or not it can help you – if you don’t you need to do more research because I’m not playing doctor over the Internet.

PS: just curious why some of the OG OUTLAWERS didn’t compete over the weekend (e.g., BP, Talayna, etc?)
Bp had to coach at a wrestling meet
oh cool, that makes sense.
this post was not a jab at those who didn’t compete, I was just curious as to why, because I was really looking forward to seeing them compete, esp against some bad ass new comers, and some of the past games athletes. Also curious about why manimal didn’t compete

Does anyone have any tips, or links to good videos, for catching heavy weight from overhead or shoulders (snatch and clean). I’ve got some gnarly bruises on my hips and the tops of my legs from catching the bar between reps. Thanks.
