Update
I will NOT be doing the AAU worlds on October 22. My back had gotten to the point where everyday was a challenge to get up, bend over, walk around, play with my daughter. I had to draw the line. I need to rest so that means no squatting or deadlifting for awhile. I haven't lifted in 8 days but will be going to the gym for some benching to begin preparations for my bench only meet in December. I will also begin some weight loss preparations. Nothing crazy this time but we will begin to go down. I will be happy with 255-265. I would like to hit 455@260ish for my next meet nonetheless, I will be in the 275s.

8 days without lifting feels like a very long time. Take it easy.

Mike,
Its too bad its come to this but good call on the decision, lifting is fun and fulfilling but it doesnt hold a candle to your kids. Admirable decision on your part. Get yourself where you need to be and take your time, you are a strong S.O.B and i am sure you will get to the full comps again soon...good luck at the Bench Meet!!!

Thanks for the support. It was a very tough decision but my family means a lot to me and that made it a no brainer.
