Droid’s Meet Prep Log

[Droid1988]

Alright guys I’m officially starting my 12 week meet prep log. Over the course of the next 12 weeks I will document my training, nutrition, supps and cycle. Any questions you guys have feel free to shoot them my way and I’ll answer the best I can. Each week I’ll be posting my prescribed lifts for the week and as the week goes along I’ll update on those workouts go.

As of right now I’m finishing up my 4th week of my blast. Tomorrow starts week 5 which means I get to add tren ace into the mix. It’s been 3 years since I’ve used tren to I’m excited to see the effects again. Here is my cycle:

Test E 500mg/wk. (weeks 1-16)
Tren A 600mg/wk. (Weeks 5-16)
Halo 10-40mg ED. Increase 10 each week. (Weeks 13-16)
Tbol 25mg ED. (Weeks 13-14)
Tbol 50mg ED. (Week 15-16)
Aromasin 25mg (E3D) (Weeks 1-18)
Caber .25mg (As needed) (Weeks 5-16)
I take all my injectables every day so I can keep my blood levels as even as possible.

My training split will be:
Monday- heavy squats, accessory deads
Wednesday- heavy bench & accessories
Friday - heavy deads, accessory squat
Saturday - light bench & accessories

I am implementing mobility work 10min before and after each workout and also hitting mobility hard on my off days to hopefully stay injury free.

My nutrition is pretty consistent year round, but I add extra intra-workout carbs on training days. I sit around 3200 calories but I will increase as needed to support my training volume. I will likely get up to 4000cal. I am currently sitting right around 220lb and compete in the 220lb class so I’m not trying to gain much weight if any. Cutting weight for a meet really cuts into my lifts.

I gotta say anyone who doesn't know Droid is missing out. Things have slowed just enough for me to now spend a few minutes hanging with my fellow BOP'rs, which I've missed greatly, and after talking with Droid and getting to know him he's a really great guy and I'm really looking forward to getting to know him better.

He helped me finally make a decision on a new approach I'd been considering to train my front delts and I really like what I'm seeing so far from Droid.

Much love and respect homie. Now be careful with that Halo. Vic's Halo is lit bro. I'm dosing it at 20mg with 25mg Dbol for pwo only and I literally could go on a rampage at the gym. It's an intense stack. Now I've done it at 40mg as a stand alone and it wasn't as intense as half the mg and stacked with Dbol. I've found that timing is critical with this Halo too. There's definitely a window wherein your mental focus is peaked. IMO it is all about the mental edge and rage that helps me push more weight. IMO it's a very different oral that what I was accustomed to and takes some time to dial in. I dose it on an empty stomach which is different than for example how I dose Adrol. I've also noticed that when I was on Tren Halo didn't yield the same level of intensity.

Great to have you!

Last meet was in November and I cut about 15lbs. My lifts definitely suffered so I’m trying to avoid it if possible this time around.

Current PRs from my last meet are:
Squat - 584
Bench - 384
Deadlift - 639

My training is based of 5RM for each lift. My 5RM for each lift are up at least 30lbs each from last prep so I expect 100lbs on my total. Goals are 425 bench, 625 squat and 700 dead. I lift raw also in sleeves only.

Thanks for the kind words Riggs! I’m definitely excited to try this Halo out as it’s the first time I’ve been able to incorporate it into my training prep. Will keep you and everyone else up to date when I add that in.

Alright guys just got my first weeks training sent to me. The first week is spent mostly hitting the main 3 lifts hard and establishing baseline weights for all the accessories.

For those unfamiliar, when it says 2/fail on these programs it is telling me to leave 2 reps in the tank on the first sets but on the last set I will go to failure. Same will apply down the road with 1/fail (1 in the tank; last set to failure). This correlates to the RPE (rate of perceived exertion) chart that I will post up as well.

My coach has a spot for me on the program to give my failure set results and also an indicator of how the exercise felt as a whole. This is on a scale of -1(felt like shit or hurt),0(was just “okay),+1(felt great).

Ignore anything over RPE 10. I won’t be using this in powerlifting prep. This is great for forced reps and extended sets in volume hypertrophy work though.

I wanted to mention another thing about this prep. My wife will be training and competing at this meet with me. I love that we can do this together and she’s got a real talent for it. Last year was her first meet and she totaled over 900 and set 2 state records in her federation and weight class. I’m super excited to see where she’ll be this year. Coach thinks she’ll smoke a 1000lb total for sure.

If anyone is interested in the female side of powerlifting training, I can post her training program along with mine and share some of her experiences as well. Just let me know and I’ll add that in.

Alright boys and girls. Long post so bear with me. I’ll summarize my supps and nutrition so I won’t have to do it every day. I’ll plan on doing this every Monday just to keep it fresh.

I inject everything daily. So pinning schedule will be the same from here on out.

INJECTS
-4iu hgh split am/pm
-.3ml Test E
-.5ml Tren A
-.1ml NPP (for joint support)

SUPPS
-Tudca
-NAC
-Milk thistle
-Astragalus
-Dandelion
-Turmeric
-Alpha-Lipoic acid(ALA)
-Indole 3 Carbanol*
-Calcium D Glucurate*
-Choline
-Red Rice Yeast
-CoQ10
-Garlic
-Fish Oil
-Niacin
-Synthergine

I have pretty high liver enzymes and family history of cholesterol issues so that is the reason for so many supps for now.

My nutrition will be fairly similar day to day. I’m not too worried about it unless I start gaining a lot of weight. If that happens I’ll dial it in and keep everything tight. With the hgh and tren I should be able to cut some bf while increasing strength pretty dramatically. I will document my diet the last 4 weeks along with any water weight cut I need to do (hoping to not need to do this).

Felt great today. Up at 4:30am as usual, had a solid day at work and home by 2:30pm. Gym at 3:30 for my first heavy leg session. Light mobility work with a lacrosse ball on the upper glutes and some stretching. I don’t usually do high bar squats so this was challenging.

High bar squats @ 470lb for sets of 3,3,5.
Leg press up to 8RM with 810lb on sled.
Sumo deads 3x3 @370lb.
Decline sit-ups with 65lb weight for 10RM
Ham curls 130lb for 10RM

Overall a solid workout. Feels great to be back under some heavy weight. Time for some dinner and my shots. Hope everyone had a great day!

-Ham curls 8RM w/ 110lb
-Conventional DL 3x3 w/ 205lb

How about Larry wheels?? If you don’t know about him look him up. He’s an INSANELY strong powerlifters and he’s in his early 20s. Lean af all the time and actually did a bodybuilding show last year or early this year and won. Now he’s prepping for Big Dogs meet later this year.

Bench felt great today. A little joint pain in the elbows but nothing a bit of NPP won’t fix up in a week or so. Mobility work before and after chest days are really important to me as I get tight very quickly if I don’t utilize stretching. I’ll post up the programs I use tomorrow when I get to my computer.

Pause bench @330lb 3 sets of 4,4,6
Incline DB up to 115lb for 8RM
Bent over Barbell row up to 315lb for 8RM
V-bar pushdowns 4x10 at 110lb
Side bends 110lb for 12RM

Nah Droid. Pigs are very smart. When my kids were in school, they used to show goats and pigs. We still have one of the goats. She’s been a family pet for 7 years. The hog we had took a little while but he would come up to the fence and just wanted to be scratched behind the ears. He loved getting a washed down with the water hose too. They don’t have to get in the mud.

Alright guys I’m officially starting my 12 week meet prep log. Over the course of the next 12 weeks I will document my training, nutrition, supps and cycle. Any questions you guys have feel free to shoot them my way and I’ll answer the best I can. Each week I’ll be posting my prescribed lifts for the week and as the week goes along I’ll update on those workouts go.

As of right now I’m finishing up my 4th week of my blast. Tomorrow starts week 5 which means I get to add tren ace into the mix. It’s been 3 years since I’ve used tren to I’m excited to see the effects again. Here is my cycle:

Test E 500mg/wk. (weeks 1-16)
Tren A 600mg/wk. (Weeks 5-16)
Halo 10-40mg ED. Increase 10 each week. (Weeks 13-16)
Tbol 25mg ED. (Weeks 13-14)
Tbol 50mg ED. (Week 15-16)
Aromasin 25mg (E3D) (Weeks 1-18)
Caber .25mg (As needed) (Weeks 5-16)
I take all my injectables every day so I can keep my blood levels as even as possible.

My training split will be:
Monday- heavy squats, accessory deads
Wednesday- heavy bench & accessories
Friday - heavy deads, accessory squat
Saturday - light bench & accessories

I am implementing mobility work 10min before and after each workout and also hitting mobility hard on my off days to hopefully stay injury free.

My nutrition is pretty consistent year round, but I add extra intra-workout carbs on training days. I sit around 3200 calories but I will increase as needed to support my training volume. I will likely get up to 4000cal. I am currently sitting right around 220lb and compete in the 220lb class so I’m not trying to gain much weight if any. Cutting weight for a meet really cuts into my lifts.

Hope everyone is having a great Saturday! I’m stuck at work for 4 more hours then it’s time for the iron jungle. My least favorite day of the week, accessory bench... but it’s essential! I’m completely wrecked from this first week already. Switching back to lifting heavy is always rough at the beginning bc I put my muscles to work like they haven’t done in a while. This is the first time I’ve been on HGH during a powerlifting prep so I’m hoping it will help with recovery and injury prevention.

What’s everyone got on the menu for this weekend??

Man I haven’t been able to do OH press in about a year due to shoulder issues and I’m feeling 100% finally. Hoping to really push that number up the next 11 weeks. Really helps a lot to increase your bench.

Also something most people don’t know or think about.. if you’re trying to make a muscle group stronger, you’ve gotta work the antagonist muscle as well. That’s why I’ve got a nice amount of back work. Most assume it’s for deads but it’s mostly for bench press.

Almond and chocolate hazelnut are two personal favorites. We are currently sitting on a stash of Georgia Grinders pecan butter. Shit will change your life.

Cashew butter is my least favorite for some reason....a bit bland. Gotta add some sea salt to that stuff to bring it out.

I also HATE being at the gym at prime time. Luckily nobody uses the mono lift at my gym except for my wife and me. Here’s the schedule for this week. Pleased with how heavy coach is having me go on deadlifts and squats so early in prep. High hopes for a monster total in 11 weeks.

Good morning BOP! So I gotta admit switching back to powerlifting prep is fucking me up. I’m used to working out 6 days a week. When I’m on prep I’m only allowed 4 days a week... mon, wed, fri, sat. I need more recovery time when I’m pushing heavy weight with progressive overload every workout. My first prep I tried to train other body parts and that was a BAAAAD idea. Injuries left and right.

Heavy bench day today. Feeling good about it. Mobility work has kept me loose and pain free so far.

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180801/b0697bb8199a564094db0bffb3685b8e.png

She’s ramping up slowly waiting for the var to kick in. She’s taking flash labs 10mg daily for a few weeks before possibly bumping it up depends on sides and how she feels. I FINALLY convinced her to jump on the HGH train. She started 1iu/day on Monday. I will keep her there for 3-4 weeks before moving to 2iu then leave her there. Anyone have much experience with females and hgh? Time frame for noticeable results?

Monster workout today. Feeling stronger every session. The tren is definitely kicking in and I can feel the increased dose this week. Soaked in sweat at the gym but so far no other noticeable side effects. I’ve been lucky during my Tren runs and haven’t ever dealt with the night sweats or insomnia associated with tren. Methyl tren on the other hand... I don’t think I slept for 4 weeks haha.

Competition bench 335lb for sets of 3,3,3,5
Incline DB 115lb for sets of 6,6,6,9
Barbell row 315lb for sets of 6,6,12
V-bar pushdown 100lb for 10,10,12
Side raises 30lb for 12,12,15

Tennis elbow was acting up during side raises so I switched to lateral raise machine to avoid gripping dumbbells and focus on my delts.

One thing I’ve learned from bodybuilding and powerlifting prep is that injuries are inevitable with the type of stress we put our bodies through. The key to success is to be aware of those injuries and know how to avoid making them worse. Sometimes that calls for completely avoiding training the injured area and resting it. Sometimes it’s finding alternative training methods to work around the injury.

No, but I know what you’re talking about. I have a buddy who actually strained a neck muscle doing heavy dead. Neutral spine and neutral neck will really help with that. That pain is from muscle strain so if you can keep it more relaxed it’ll definitely help.

I’m fucking wiped. That workout was the hardest so far. And I’m just in the beginning phases. Pushing hard and seeing great results already.

Sumo deads 540lb for sets of 3,3,3,9
SSB good mornings 275lb for 7,7,10
Pause squats 425lb for 3,3,5 (getting tired)
Side bends
Ham curls

Exceeded my expectations on my failure set of deadlifts. My damn face looks like it’s gonna explode the last 3-4 reps lol

Wifey hit deads 295 for sets of 3,3,7 and some accessory work. Good day all around. Now time to go lay around like a zombie

Sorry I was MIA this weekend! Strep hit me HARD Friday night and I was pretty much out of commission Saturday and Sunday. Back at it full force today! About to head over and get 6 week bloodwork pulled. Coach told me I’m so far ahead of where I was last prep “it’s kinda scary” so I’m feeling good. He’s gonna be pushing me hard I can already tell. 5 working sets on all the major lifts and most accessories. Gonna be a draining week.

Not a bad workout today. Still feeling not 100% from being sick but still made the best out of heavy chest day.

Comp bench 355lb for 2,2,2,2,4
Incline DB 120lb for 5,5,5,5,7
Bent barbell rows 325lb for 5,5,5,5,8
V-bar pushdowns 3x8
Side raises 3x12

Took .25ml BCG Livewire preworkout today and it was pretty good. Nothing super noticeable at 25mg. Will be trying .5ml pre deadlift workout on Friday. Hoping for a big fail set of 560!

That’s a wrap for this weeks training. Overall a solid week and pushing strong numbers for this early in prep. Accessory bench day is boring but necessary unfortunately.

Close-grip bench 315lb for 3,3,3,5
Overhead press 195lb for 5,5,7
Wide grip pulldowns 200lb for 5,5,5,7
Barbell rows 305 for 7,7,8
Weighted decline sit-ups
Skullcrushers

Coach will either have me deload next week (I hope not) or I’ll be pushing some big numbers and be begging for a deload after next week.

Will check in with the wife for her numbers when we are done with some yard work. Hope everyone is having a killer weekend!

Friday:
Sumo deadlift 585lb for 1,1,6
SSB good mornings 305lb for 6,6,9
Pause squat 430lb for 3,4,7

Overhead press 205lb for 4,4,6
Pulldown 200lb for 6,6,7
Barbell rows 315lb for 6,6,8

I’m going to be incredibly bored next week doing half weight and half reps but I know it’s necessary for recovery and strength increase. I will come back much stronger in 2 weeks.



Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So this week is deload week. While this may look boring it is a much needed part in not only strength training but also hypertrophy based training. Your body can only take so much of a beating before it stops responding. The idea behind a deload is to give the body a chance for some active recovery. That typically means you’re going to do half the weight for about half the reps. Throughout my deload leg workout yesterday I could feel my muscles slowly react to the lower weight and loosen up. I was in the gym for less than 30 min then back home for my usual mobility work.

Typically one week will do it. Some need less than that. It all depends on the volume you’ve been doing and for how long. During hypertrophy phases I like to do a half week deload every 8 weeks or so. Or when my body tells me it’s time.

Any experience with elbow joint pain while benching? I’ve been having this issue lately...I believe it started toward the end of my cycle while running winny/var.

Once I get to about 70-80% max, toward the 5-8 rep mark my left (sometimes right) elbow feels like it’s just gonna fuckin give out right as I’m about to lock out. I’m not sure I’d call it tennis/golfers elbow either, it feels like deep joint but possibly the brachioradialis...about to order some mobility shit off amazon and I guess maybe start having to use elbow sleeves

It really depends on what elbow pain you’re talking about man. Different pain will call for different adjustments. I typically get elbow pain directly on my elbow. And I find that doing a few light warmup sets with triceps rope push downs helps get the elbows greased and ready to go. If you’ve got brachioradialis pain your best bet is doing rotator cuff mobility work. From what I’ve seen the majority of biceps tendinitis/ brachioradialis pain is caused by tight rotator cuffs. Obviously heavy pressing is going to make that even worse without mobility work.

That being said I have some slingshot elbow cuffs that I use when my elbow pain is unavoidable. And I plan to purchase some slingshot brand elbow sleeves in the next week or so bc I need new knee sleeves as well.

Best thing for elbows is to see a myo and get some dry needling done. If possible lay of low bar squat or try place the bar higher I've found. Sleeves or cuffs just mask the problem , if you can't wear them in the meet why train with them?

Well my theory on this is I’d rather use cuffs/sleeves occasionally not as a crutch but just as compression to avoid pain. If I can’t train because of elbow pain/ bicep tendinitis then I can’t compete at my best. Yes, I can’t use those things in a meet but if it helps me push through the aches and pains of consistent heavy training I’m going to use all the tools I can. I don’t use them all the time and I don’t use them in my peak weeks.

Almost done with this deload week and I’m feeling incredible. Energy has increased and no tight muscles. I’ve lost a few lbs this week due to the inactivity and some appetite issues on the tren but I think we’re past that and I can start loading food again. I think the traditional powerlifter mentality is to eat as much food and whatever food you want to provide energy for strength. I take a different approach. I eat the same general macro split year round but I change the carb amount and intake times to suit my goals. This prep is no different than others except for the addition of hgh and using tren at a higher dose than test. I’ve noticed that combo has ripped me up while still putting on a huge amount of strength.

This is the leanest I’ve been in a few years (probably since my BBing competition days) but I’m a solid 30lbs more than I was back then. Weight was 215.7 this morning... bf%? Who cares.

Squat 505lb x 4, 515lb x3, 525lb x4 (should have been 5 but came forward on 4th rep and almost lost the bar so called it after that)
Leg press 840lb for 10,10,12

I have used SBD and liked them. I prefer the STRONG sleeves bc of the seam on the outside instead of across the back of the sleeve. But he’s right ^ they definitely aren’t as durable. I have a feeling the x sleeves will hold up better though.

Ahhh yes my little shipment of Ace GMP HGH kits. Bones hooked me up and was able to get me those before he “officially” restocked to the public. FYI they are back up for sale on their website and cheaper now! These are my favorite generic I’ve tried so far. Highly recommend.

So the strong compression cuff 2.0 is actually a little big fitting (even though I ordered smaller than my actual measurement), thus it doesn’t compress shit...I’ll grow into em tho. I am however pleased with these knockoff brand elbow cuffs from amazon, back to feeling normal when I bench - otherwise it’s basically unidentifiable pulsating pain at lockout

Very nice! Chris Duffin actually had an article that came out today about the advantages of deep compression and even passive compression like what we’ve been talking about.

I’m about to head to the gym to bench and try out the new elbow sleeves. Pretty stoked about it

Results are in... these STRONG elbow sleeves are incredible!! I was able to really push through this heavy bench workout with very minimal discomfort. Usually when I start getting to this weight my bicep tendinitis is almost unbearable and I can’t actually push to failure without my elbows giving out first. Today I warmed up without the sleeves on and put them on for my working sets. They are not terribly tight so they are comfortable to wear the entire workout.

Bench 355x3, 365x2, 375x3
Incline DB 120lb for 8,8,11
Barbell row 340lb for 6,6,11
V-bar pushdowns

I will get with the wifey in a bit to get her program for the week and her numbers from Monday and today. She’s killing it compared to last prep.

It really depends on what elbow pain you’re talking about man. Different pain will call for different adjustments. I typically get elbow pain directly on my elbow. And I find that doing a few light warmup sets with triceps rope push downs helps get the elbows greased and ready to go. If you’ve got brachioradialis pain your best bet is doing rotator cuff mobility work. From what I’ve seen the majority of biceps tendinitis/ brachioradialis pain is caused by tight rotator cuffs. Obviously heavy pressing is going to make that even worse without mobility work.

That being said I have some slingshot elbow cuffs that I use when my elbow pain is unavoidable. And I plan to purchase some slingshot brand elbow sleeves in the next week or so bc I need new knee sleeves as well.

Program for this week. 5 weeks out from my meet. Pretty stoked about these numbers. Last meet my max bench was 386lb and he’s got me doing 3 doubles at that weight Wednesday. My max at that same meet for deadlifts was 639lb and I’ll be doing 4 doubles at 635 Friday. At this rate I’ll be opening at my previous meet PRs!

Squats turned out much better than I thought today. Warming up everything felt pretty heavy so I didn’t have high hopes for my fail set. But a little smelling salts before my lift had me AMPED. I try not to use them often during prep so I can save that extra adrenaline kick for the actual meet. But sometimes you just gotta pull out the big guns on days like today.

Oh they’re great! I’d recommend starting with something like these from amazon. They aren’t as strong and they’re easy to just crack, sniff and toss it before a lift. I use them occasionally through prep since they aren’t as strong.

Bicep tendon pain was flaring up today during bench so that limited my training. Played with a wider grip than usual and that seemed to help so I will stick with that and see if it continues to help. Skipped my scheduled incline press to avoid any added stress to the tendon. Will be injecting 500mcg BPC-157 twice daily near each bicep tendon for the next week or 2 and see if that helps.

Well today did NOT go the way I wanted it to. Couldn’t even lock out my working weight. I haven’t felt great or slept well the last few days so the fatigue really showed today. This is the first time I have ever missed a scheduled lift so I’m pretty unhappy about it. But I have to remind myself that everyone has bad days at the gym and today my strength just wasn’t there. I cut down the weight on the rest of my lifts per my coaches instructions and we will make up for it next week and I’ll come back stronger.

Hit my accessory bench day today instead of yesterday. Had a super busy day yesterday and didn’t want to have to rush the workout. Everything felt surprisingly good today considering my elbow pain from Wednesday’s bench workout. I’ve been using the BPC-157 since Wednesday so maybe that’s helped already. Will be sure to continue taking it. Overhead press felt much stronger this week. Skipped barbell rows today since I will be heavy squatting tomorrow.

Program for this week. Starting to get into the peak phase with singles and doubles. Strength should increase pretty quickly over the next few weeks. Just got done with heavy squat day and it felt surprisingly good. Had a very small breakfast so being able to hit all my lifts with minimal struggle is a good sign. Math was hard today and instead of 555lb the first set I accidentally did 545x2. Added a 4th working set to hit all my prescribed lifts.

Heavy bench day. Had a great workout. Working with a bit wider grip on bench now to help take the pressure off my elbows. Worked up to 3 singles at what looks to be my opener. No elbow sleeves the first 2 sets and felt good. No pain at all first set and totally manageable irritation the second. Threw on sleeves for the third set just to ensure I didn’t irritate them more than necessary. Everything moved well. Wider grip isn’t as strong for me so it’s slower and has less power. Transitioning into the peak portion of prep so coach changed up some accessories. 3 second pause bench is fantastic for building strength and speed out of the bottom of the movement. No sleeves and these felt amazing. My chest will be wrecked from those tomorrow.

Competition bench. Just like saying comp squat or comp deadlift, it’s the stance or grip you’ll use during your competition. Definitely a good question!!

Haha man you should see the way the guys in my gym look at my wife. Jaw drops lol she’s really strong and she’s just a natural. This is only her second meet prep and she will hit over 1000lb total in the 165lb weight class.

I have a thousand lbs club shirt from several years ago. If I ever see a women laugh it me over it I wouldn’t know what to say!

I thought the comp bench would be you having someone stand over you telling you when you could press. Thanks for the explanation.
I am also going to see if a wider grip helps my elbows. These logs are where it’s at. Little bits of info all through them.

Thanks man! I’m glad anyone can take away some info from this log. That’s why I’m doing it.

I actually did comp bench “with commands” is what we call it. Basically mimicking what we’ll do at the meet. Have the wife say “bench” “press” and “rack”. We try to extend the pause a little bit to prepare for a potential long pause from the judges during a meet. It’s all about preparing for worst case. Squats for instance, we ALWAYS make sure we hit depth enough so that nobody could mistake it as a high squat. We try to prepare to avoid being red lighted for simple mistakes.

Just finished a very unexpected deadlift session. Program called for singles at 635lb and moving up by 5lb each set if the weight moved well. Well I’ve been fighting being sick since Sunday so I’ll blame that. 635 just did not want to lock out again this week. So I got pissed off and said fuck it I’ll pull it conventional. SMOKED IT. Moved to 645 and nailed that for a 5lb PR. Then 655 for another PR. This is the first time I’ve conventional deadlifted since last November at my meet. I’m pretty stoked about it. I stay away from conventional bc it takes a toll on my lower back pretty quickly but I figure I can make it 3 more deadlift sessions and the meet.

Conventional deads 635x1, 645x1, 655x1
SSB good mornings 315lb for 6,6,10

Placed an order with Pompeyo to try the 50iu bottles since they’re CHEAP this month on sale. Had a long and eventful weekend celebrating a friends birthday out of town.
