Today was a scheduled squat day. Would have been my last heavy day before my meet next Friday. The good news is that my hamstring is healing and is better than the last time I squatted. The not so good news is that 120kg was as heavy as I felt comfortable doing.
I could feel the hamstring pulling which was discomforting, and only slightly painful, but felt if I went much heavier I could re-tear the muscle. I could feel the hamstring pulling/pain at three quarters of the way down to parallel, which was where the tear occurred. No pain at parallel and only felt it again as I passed the same point on the way up.
Unlike last squat day I was able to do several back off sets at a lighter weight which will hopefully pump blood into the area and heal the injury site quicker.
