[BBB]

Time: 60-mins

Feelz: Felt ok in the morning/day. Thought I'd squat, but of course lower back was feeling inflamed prior to squatting. Decided to just go by ear... lowered weight.

- Yeah, that didn't feel the best. Just slowed down, longer rests, took my time.

P. Bench: 45x15, 135x6, 185x5, 225x4, 242.5x4 (6-sets)

Skipped RDL's. Will see if Ibuprofen takes down the inflammation and see how I feel tomorrow/day after. Determine what to do from there...

[BBB]

Time: ~85-mins

Feelz: Extremely tired from work, mentally exhausted. Dozed off for over an hour after getting home. However, back felt fine most of the day.

C. Bench: 45x15, 135x6, 185x5, 225x2, 245x1, 265x1, 275x1, 290x1 @ 8 [PR], 240x5 (5-sets)
- Pretty sure that's a PR @ 8?? (Vid)
- Bench felt "easy" again... go up another 2.5-5(?)

P. Squat: 45x10, 135x4, 225x4, 315x4, 355x4 (6-sets)
- That wasn't exactly pain free, but I think the pain is in my muscles. When my concentration wanders somewhere else, I don't feel pain, when I'm concentrating on my back I must be squeezing the muscles so hard I'm straining them? Not even sure if that's possible... the pain is concentrated on the right side. Not quite spinal erectors, but maybe multifidus muscle?

Pull-ups: BWx10 (3-sets)

- Worked up to a manageable weight and worked from there; felt the pain come on during volume
- Pain is NOT in the lower back, but radiating from there; feels like some core muscle starting near the spine and going towards the hip/ribs on the right side.

TnG Bench: 45x10, 135x6, 185x5, 225x4, 245x4, 255x4 (6-sets)
- Added an extra warm-up set so there's not a huge jump to working weight, especially as the weights go up
- Feels like @ 8-9, but remember to maintain next week! No need to push..
