Did some GHRs too which I really haven’t been doing in a long while.

There’s something weird going on with my hip so I just did one set a little heavier on squats.

I had the wife keeping me honest on squats again. They seem like they are getting a lot less forgiving of little errors. Honestly, the bar is just getting scary looking and it's probably just in my head. It seems like just last week I got stapled by 135.

My right shoulder has been giving me some trouble. I'm 90% certain its an impingement issue. Seems to get me when it gets heavy and I let my arm flare out too far. I moved my grip a bit narrower today and made sure to keep them tucked and it seemed to help.

I didn't do any accessories as by BG monitor told me my time was up.

Squats: 45-315x5
Deadlift: 245x5, 305x3, 375x1, 435x5
Press: 45, 85, 125x5, 152.5x5,5,5,5,5

I was really planning on doing some dips but I started to smell dinner about half way through the presses so that didn’t happen. My 3 youngest are all sick which sucks but I got to eat their pork chops. I’ve gotta get all I can out of this LP. It’s just starting to get fun now that I’m stronger than I ever was and still moving up.

Squat: 45-315x5, 395x5, 355x5
Bench: 45-225x5, 255x5,5,5,5,5

I really ran out of gas after the heaviest set of squats. Was going to do another at 355, but I just couldn’t. I’ve really cut back on carbs this week which makes my glucose way easier to manage but I think it’s fucking with my lifting. That and being lazy and only doing one working set lately.

Squat: 45, 135, 225, 315x5, 380x5,5,5
Press: 45, 85, 125x5, 155x5,5,3

I forgot my insulin when I went to work today. Ate no carbs all day long until the workout. Bad idea. I guess all the carbs in the world probably wouldn’t have helped in the absence of insulin. I’m not sure how I made it through the squats but when I was done I was ready to puke and a sweaty mess which is not normal. I pretty much failed at life today. I think the last set of squats is burned into my memory well enough that I won’t forget that shit again any day soon.

Squats: 45-225x5, 315x3
Deadlift: 245x5, 305x3, 375x1, 445x5
Bench: 45-185x5, 225x3, 257.5x5,5,5,5,5

I’ve had this weird pain in my hip, feels like I hit the bone on something. It’s spreading down the side of my leg now. No idea what’s going on there but I couldn’t finish my last set of warm-up squats. Deads went just fine.

So it figures I would finally miss one, but I’m pissed it had to be this one.

Squat: 45, 135, 225x5
Deadlift: 245x5, 335x3, 425x1, 455x5
Press: 45, 95, 135x5 155x5,5,5,5,5

I took a break from being sick and lifted today. I think I’ve tore up something in my left quad. 135 hurt, 225 really hurt. Deadlifts didn’t bother it at all though. I guess I’ll rest it until next week and see where it’s at.
