Turns out I think it was a bad cramp in my hamstring. Squats felt good( besides some knee slide). Feels a lot better today, so that’s great news!

I agree 100%. Back four years ago if this would’ve occurred ( when I was a scrawny 190 and pretty much just exercising) I probably would’ve set around for a couple of weeks waiting on it to get better. I often surprise myself on what I can actually still do when I’m injured. It’s always worth trying anyway. Worst case, one will just have to rehab it for a couple of weeks. Fortunately, I’ve found that I could still train through my last couple of pulls/strains.Originally Posted by Agilic

Managed to get a Herculean set of 5 on that second set of press. You know, that last rep is a grinder and you are pretty much wrestling that last rep up. Didn’t record it, and don’t know how many seconds it took to complete, but I actually had time to take another breath through the sticking point. Decided to take a rain check on HDL for several reasons. I plan on starting back on schedule with rack pulls next week.

My medium day squat load is starting to feel kind of heavy, as it should at this point of the program. Here in a couple or weeks I’m going to drop it down to just one set of five, as I have done previously when running this program. My press was freaking tired today. The warmups felt heavier than usual, and the first rep hung up in the air for way to long. That first rep felt like it should’ve been the 3rd or 4th. I was also distracted by clavicle pain from where I’ve been smacking it with the bar when I reach my hips, going have to work on this. So, I’m going to eat and sleep and see what Sunday beholds. Here lately it’s been hit and miss with my press, this is telling me that it’s taking more than 48 hrs to recover from intense lifting at this point. I suspect that LP for it has about ran it’s course.

Press is moving along nicely now since I transitioned into a front rack. I’m finally getting a little rebound from my hips. Had a little too much knee on those last couple of reps, was trying hard to take a big breath and brace my abs but neglected to squeeze my quads and glutes very much. Need to clean this up some. Not bad though, definitely think I can get 200+ up for a single soon!
