Felt like crap yesterday. The night before my hemorrhoid flared up, so I took some tramadol. I won’t be taking that stuff again, I don’t care how bad my ass hurts. Tried the floating rack for press 2.0 on my top set. Still don’t like it. The front rack poses problems too. So I think that I’m just going to press 1.0 from here out, considering I’m never going to win a USSF meet with my press. Might as well just press strict.

Smashed the squat PR! May have to drop to a triple next heavy day, we’ll see how things go. For my press, I’m using the old 1.0 method, with the bar racked on the shoulders for the first rep, then I lay back slightly, and bring the bar to my collarbone and rebound. Have to be careful though, because if I get to excited and touch the bar just a tad low, it goes flying outward. My fourth rep did this last night, but fortunately it wasn’t a max effort set, and I was able to compensate. Chin ups felt pretty good as well, four sets of 7 across is the best of done in a while.

Did 3x5 initially on my press. By the time I’d gotten 2 sets of lat pull downs in, it occurred to me that my new pressing program actually calls for 6x4. So I did one more set of 5, followed by one set of 4. Still the same tonnage, so hopefully it won’t mess too much up lol.

My quad very close to my left knee medial, wasn’t acting right, so I pulled the plug during my first backoff set. It started to act up last week, but really didn’t feel right last night, so I made a judgment call. The exact same thing occurred a while back ago once my 5x5 load got heavy, so I think it’s a heavy volume thing. Everything else felt pretty good, considering I was distracted by life stuff. But I’d much rather be in the gym lifting trying my best VS setting around depressed.

Quad/ knee was bothering me on the squats, especially coming out of the hole on the ascent. The pain never got worse though, so that’s probably good. Last time I had this similar injury it healed up during training with the reduction of volume. Hopefully this is the case again.

Managed the squat PR, but quad flared up. Think I’m just going have to rehab it.
