Just had a think about it, and realised I was wasting my money.
it's a good/easy way to keep protein up, but at your bw, yea, you shouldn't have a hard time getting enough protein. a few chicken breasts/steaks or ground beef, 4-5 eggs, and some tuna or milk will let you reach it.

Oh yeah Creatine is ridiculously cheap, I could possibly go back on that at a later date.
Getting extra protein in? Unless your consistently shooting for 300+ grams a day, then it's doable. You pay for convenience though I guess, I shouldn't be doing that.
I don't think I need that much protein, but maybe I still get alot without trying who knows, not having any problems gaining weight/muscle, inface the opposite! I weighed 87.85 in the middle of my workout today, so had alot of fluids in me, but still this is pretty heavy, but probably not as heavy as 87.6 dry that I was a month ago.

-Came in earlier than the group to do my squats as I'm not coming in Sunday, due to the opportunity of free food
-Weighed myself after the squats when scales arrived, 87.85kg! Lots of fluid in me after having drank probably a litre or so though
3rd time lucky, first two attempts failed, got it on the third! woohoo! so good! 4th and 4th ones were okay, but looked a bit sloppy, going for a perfect 6th now lol
Not bands, maybe some weight again soon. I've tried them with weight before, although not much. I should probably use a light weight next time i do them.

Comments:
-Good session, sets with 190kg were pretty easy, very good speed too
-Speed squats did 120kgx3 in 4.6 seconds on my fastest set, happy with that, 125kg next week
-As for the 135lb DB rows, my grip was giving out, a rare occassion for me. Might have been able to hold onto it for 12-13 reps on the first set if i pushed it, but the DB was rolling out of my hands just doing 10.
-I'll do 145lbs next week. I may get some straps, and use them for DB rows over 125lbs in future, but will do 145lbs no straps next week and see how my grip goes.
-In PR territory now, every session until comp

a weight in front of you isn't too bad at all. You shouldn't have a problem with 20-25lbs. When i was doing them often, i would struggle with a 10lber behind my head though.
You should consider using them with bands, like a mini. It's really useful to use them for GHRs because the tension is the greatest at the top of the movement with bands, where on a regular, unbanded one, the movement is easier at the top of the lift.

To make you feel better, I herniated my discs and hit my sciatic nerve while warming up with 405. I was so pissed that my warm-up weight has effectively ending my deadlifting for at least a month.
I've only done 505 beltless/strapless and I've never owned a suit. I'd kill for 700lb DL..but with shit like it is now, that'll be quite some time before then, or even 505 again for that matter.

-Very happy with my raw strength right now, I took 202.5kg pretty deep and it came up well, had 205 in me today. 2.35x bodyweight at 86.35kg, approaching a 2.5x bodyweight raw squat soon I think!
-165kg was still pretty explosive, but it was somewhat challenging to keep it at speed. Not too long until I'll be repping 400lbs for 6's raw I think.
-Suit on straps down next week.
