Update

I have been training, but was without internet access at work a couple days and then didn't get things updated at home. Nothing too remarkable... did what I was expected to do except on Saturday with squats when I missed the second rep at 275lbs in my last set.

Watched some Eric Cressey videos in hopes that I can improve my flexibility for squatting. I seem to be struggling a bit with depth and maybe it's just about fighting the suit but I am not wanting to take the chance that it's about flexibility and I do nothing about it. I will try some of the things he talked about later tonight when I go in. Might do them in my kitchen before leaving for the gym so I don't look silly trying to figure them out the first time.

Getting near the end and I can tell. I am feeling tired a lot and started taking Melatonin to help me sleep. I had some sort of a mild panic attack on Saturday night around 12:30am. I woke up and my muscles felt like I couldn't calm them down and I couldn't find a position to relax in. It passed within an hour and I was back asleep.

I am watching my food intake a bit more closely as well because I am aiming for my first 400 Wilks. My goal lifts: 150kg squat, 77.5kg bench, 157.5kg DL at a body weight of 65kg (or less) would give me that Wilks. Getting excited. Just over 2 weeks now.
