• General: What a day. I showed up to the gym intending to just do some light deadlifts, the pullups and some light stretching. I go into the powerlifting room in my gym and there was 7 extremely serious powerlifers that train at my gym all warming up to deadlift. Some of them are world class and have competed for years. They quickly befriended me and told me I was deadlifting with them and pulling a lifetime PR. I didn't hesitate and followed everything they told me to do. Probably  one of the best training sessions I've ever had in my life.
• Nutrition: Not great. I'm really having trouble recovering only eating paleo. It's not helping that my mom doesn't go shopping often enough and I get stuck with little food options. I think I may have to make some changes again.
• Body: Felt pretty good today just still really tired. It's amazing that 4-5pm everyday I feel like it's midnight. Just can't explain it.
• Sleep: 8.5 hours
• Reflections: Today I learned so much it was unbelievable. A couple of the people corrected my form on the deadlift. There was 3-4 flaws that felt so much better on my pulls when I corrected it. 410# went up pretty fast so I'm excited to see what I pull 2-3 weeks from now when I'm fully rested. I saw an unofficial world record (605# deadlift by a 73 year old man,  a PR by 5# from the world record he already has) and also saw 3 guys pull 7 plates. The highlight of the day was seeing a 725# deadlift by one of the guys there. It was some of the most inspirational stuff I've ever seen. The 73 year old guy told me to keep it up because I've got serious potential if I commit to it. In general today was phenomenal. I really hope I get to train with these guys again.
