Whelp this week just ended on a pretty sad note. I was warming up for squats and just strained a muscle in my left thigh using only 65 lbs. It was such a bummer! I'm pretty mad about it actually, but I am hoping that it will be better after the two rest days I have lined up. Good stretching and massaging of that muscle should help, so thats what I'm going to be up to the next two days. Heres what I was able to do this evening:
Squats:
45--1 set, 5 reps
65--1 set, 5 reps
95--1 set, 5 reps
115--1 set, 5 reps
145--2 sets, 5 reps
Overhead Press:
45 lbs--1 set, 5 reps
65 lbs--3 sets, 5 reps
I wasn't able to finish the squats at 145. It really makes me mad, but that muscle just wouldn't let me do it. It was a struggle the entire time. So just out of rational thinking, I made myself stop short so that I don't make things worse. I will have to squat the 145 again on Tuesday so that sucks. But the good news is that I was able to get good enough depth to get that bounce back. Hopefully I can continue going that low so that I get some help with bringing that weight back up.
