If it isn't one thing it's another. I got some x-rays taken of my right shoulder and everything seems to be fine--I just seem to have a muscle strain on my right shoulder because it's overcompensating for the weakness in my left shoulder. Good news, which means I just need to rest it post competition.
However, I've been struggling with this pain in my lower back..I threw out my back a few weeks ago during a lift, and the pain went away, but now it's back :( I also did standing calf raises at 220lbs, and I'm sure that aggravated my back too, but I was so proud I broke 215!! It sucks because I couldn't do deadlifts this week because of this nagging pain. Ugh. I'm scheduling another appointment to have an x-ray taken of my back (hopefully I didn't slip a disc or anything and that it's just another strain). I'm trying to train through the pain but somedays it really sucks.
I had my first meeting for the competition last night, and a fair amount of girls came out. Looks like around 15 girls will be competing this year, so I gotta really step my workouts up and push really really hard. I'm less than 7 weeks away, so I'm really really close to the end. It's exciting to feel like the big day is coming up soon :)
In terms of cutting, I'm very close to my initial goal of 120lbs--currently I'm at 128.9. I'm trying my hardest to get to 128 by this Sunday--a delicious box of peanut butter crunch awaits me :) If I can get to 120lbs by 4 weeks out, I'm definitely shooting for 115 precontest--so lean!! :) Hopefully I can get really close.
