Ok I think I have officially turned off Atrophy Avenue and back on to the Road to 405. My back feels about 90% right now and ready to pretty much train normal from here on out. I have to train Sunday/Wed/Fri next week so held back a bit today but I feel good overall. Let the gainz begin

Squat: 205x3x3
Bench: 245x2
Had to keep it short. Was on short recovery, bad sleep and bad food.
Not out of the woods yet with the deadlift. I used to be able to do it correctly! Going to look back at some of my past vids and see what adjustments I can make
Squats felt fine. Bench moved quite well. I wasn't going to push anything hard RPE-wise today but I seemed to get in the groove and 265 moved faster than the previous ones I think. Good to know there's some left in the tank there.
Press went pretty well. I had a migraine today so I think that downgraded me a bit. Just continued to work on form in the DL. Will take Friday off then back to battle next week

Chin: 9,8,7,6,5,4,4,3,3,3,3,3 = 58 reps
Ok I actually feel like I'm on the Road to a 405 Squat yet again. Squats felt good today and my back had almost no stiffness afterwords. Will take the next 4 weeks to ease into a new 2 week intermediate split and then be ready to go hard in 2019.

Woke up with back pain. Figured I just slept funny. Have had this happen before and it just went away after a couple hours. Nope, not today. Had to take it easy with squats yet again. Makes no sense. Was completely fine during deadlifts wednesday and felt totally fine yesterday. Sigh
