Okay, I think I figured out the reason for my fatigue, "going paleo"! I forgot about the crap period you must endure before the awesome hits. Yesterday, like a damn light switch, I woke up with a ton of energy and it is here with me again today. I have been eating strictly paleo with milk for almost a month now and my body has finally learned how to use what less calories and carbohydrates efficiently. I feel great!
I am 208# (down from 216#) and I still have 10# to go to make weight. Basically, my feeling is this, I have to at least try to get to 198#, because, if I am successful, I have a real chance at competing at the meet. However, it is my first powerlifting meet and I am not going in it to win. With that being said, if I don't make 198#, I will just be in the 220# class and get stomped! But, I have goals to reach and the weight class I attempt to reach them in is irrelevant.
Since I felt so good today and had little to no pain in my knee or iliacus, I decided to go heavy again. My brother and I train on Tuesdays and he is strong.
Backsquat:
3x3 @ 350#
Shoulder Press (de-load for me):
2x5 @ 135#
1x5 @ 155#
Deadlift:
1x5 @ 455#
