Yes, adductor tendon was sore, but not limiting, and so far not any worse than before.

Had one bad rep in the first set where I lost focus & let my lumbar relax a little. I'm not sure yet if it did anything bad to me.

30/30 x 10 - well those kinda suck & aren't really the workout I'm looking for - that's what I get for pussing out on the 140/20, which I know works well for me

Well that was an interesting experiment in pushing the weight. All the 5th reps were layback grinders, leaving me not sure this one was such a good idea. However the press was getting jealous of the bench gains of late so there you go.

Planned lighter day, unplanned 1 set short with all sorts of stuff hurting, knees, back, wrists, aductor tendon. Some days are just like that.

Bonus! I do believe the weighted chins are helping.

Fuck, that was hard. Perhaps staying out drinking and, gasp, dancing, until 0200 is detrimental to the next day's lifts. Perhaps.

Felt like total shit, back was sore as hell after bench, was going to call it a day. Then I thought, fuck I don't want to be out here that long tomorrow, so I manaed to get through the first couple warmups. And it all felt a little better. And it all kept feeling a little more better (ha grammar) with every warmup set and before I knew it I was on to the work sets.

Best these have felt on the lower back in months. Thank you deadlift.
Adductor bitchy at times, but no trouble,
Been having a lot of left knee pain the past week. It feels like it's in the joint behind the kneecap. However, it felt good while squatting.

My current thinking is that the higher intensity of x2 on this day will serve progress better. We'll find out how well this works the next few weeks.

My left knee has been hurting like hell the past couple weeks, and I needed to decide on a light day squat at some point so here we are. These all felt fine.
