Thanks! Let's just say it was a good week for Rip to come out with his "is physical therapy a fraud?" podcast.

High box squat 85 3x20
(I obviously can't count this high. I always do 17...)
Competition pause bench 205 3x5
Rack pull 105 3x15
No pain on anything. Hip flexor felt a little tight after squats. We'll see how increasing the ROM goes next week.

High box squat (2" lower than last week) 95 3x15
Press 120 3x5
RDL 125 3x10
Pullups 9, 6, 4
No real pain to speak of. The hip feels a little... "crowded" (is the best way I can describe it) at the bottom. But no pain.

Still no pain. Uncomfortable feeling, but it's not supposed to be 100% right?
Definitely feel a tendency to favor my left side. Hard to feel right (operative side) glute doing any work. But I know it's impossible for it not to be....

Shouldn't have made a 20lb jump on squats. Didn't feel great in my hip flexor, but it didn't hurt either

Box Squat (17") 115 3x10
Pause Bench 235 3x5 (lest rep wasn't paused)
RDL 155 3x10
Droped the weight a bit on the squats because 135 made the hip flexor quite unhappy. This new ROM felt okay though

Squats probably felt the best they ever have. Hip flexor didn't feel bad and I didn't really feel myself trying to use my left side more than my right. Very happy. Looking forward to seeing a plate on there Saturday.

No pain. I'm liking that I'm getting somewhere closer to actual depth! Presses felt light. Enjoying this whole recovery LP. Since I never did a proper novice LP I am liking being able to add weight each session!
