7th Cycle / Week Four - reps/sets

Low Bar Squat - 140kg *4, 112.5kg 4*2
Belt Squat - 75kg 12*3
BSS - 18kg 10*3
Single Leg Ext - 80kg 20*3

Much success, great joy...

Seriously, today could have been a shit show as my knee got all shitty over Christmas Weekend...for no apparent reason.

Fortunately Squatting was not a problem. Maybe motion is lotion after all?

140 moved nicely, and if my shoulder had been feeling better, I would have said it was EASY.

Back to moving weights that I should be...

Spoto - 60kg 6*4
Dumbbell Incline Bench - 45lbs 12*4
TRX Supinated Row - 10*4
Hammer Curls - 15lbs 40*3

Tired shoulders, low bar shoulders...

The right shoulder is improving, glacially, but it is better. Had to back everything off due the shoulders being tired. Threw in an extra set on the down sets, just for the volume.

My mind went awol mid morning, and I bailed out of my top set for fear I'd blow up my back. Nothing was wrong with my back, nothing went wrong on the first two pulls, I just had this fear that my back was gonna go BOOM.

Deep breaths...

Sorry to hear that, Browndog. I, too, often have an awol brain during these workouts.

You will get it next time!

[BrooklynJerry]

I would say you did the smart thing. From reading your log I know your not a quitter. I think sometimes you have to go with your gut feeling.

[dalan]

I think you did the right thing too. Sometimes you just get a feeling that something isn't right. That's not awol brain, that's knowing yourself. Imo.

we ain't in our twenties. erring on the side of caution is never a bad thing now.
