    Deadlift work sets in the garage felt easy.
    Bench, I just ran out of gas, motivation. Tried slightly wider grip for warmups and first work set.
    Squat, I don't know, need to hit 3 plates at the SS meet, might not happen.

    Skipped light day squats because it was late.
    Had a sore right hip and knee for a short time yesterday, not sure if it's from changing my squat warmup routine.
    Pain disappeared today, so all good.
    Shoveled snow and got more low back volume than needed.

    Fuck. Didn't get a proper flat back on DL rep 5, felt a pop in the low back, had to bail.
    A little sore right now, gotta go walk the dog and assess. I bet it's a disc. We'll see how it feels tomorrow.

    edit: put the lever belt on to maintain tightness while walking the dog, didn't feel too bad. Think I'll be ok.

    Also 280x5 was a grindy squat. I did 280x5x3 last week. Maybe sets 2&3 if they were prescribed would have felt better. Form might have been off making set 1 harder.

    Started HLM today for squats per Barbell Prescription.

    Hopefully I feel good enough to do Light and Medium days. We shall see.

    Thanks B. Previous history show I should be back up and running in a week at most.
    I learned my lesson about squeezing tight before deadlifting.
    Previous back tweak lesson was to stay tight when walking out the squat.

    Tell me about it, I started in Feb 2014, and been redoing the same weights for 3 years due to layoffs, flu, tweaks, plain laziness or probably massive fatigue.
    I ain't quitting before I squat 315 for reps and DL 405. 310x2x3 was my best squat so far. So close, yet so far.
