If fear hadn't crept in, I would probably have had a PR in both the Squat and Press long ago. Still, I expect a new PR in the Squat in 1 1/2 weeks and one in the Press in a few weeks. I'm working toward a PR in the Dead on November 30.

Well done. Good luck with the upcoming PRs too.

HLM Light Day

Squat: 70 x 5 (P); 140 x 3; 180 x 1; 196 x 5 x 3
Press: 45 x 5; 75 x 3; 100 x 1 (I tweaked my back, and I could not proceed with this lift).
Prowler: 200 x 4 x 3 (275 x 240 x 3)

I doubt that is is a major problem since my back has not bothered me since I stopped the Press.

STOP THE PRESSES is my new battle cry lol

STOP THE PRESSES is my new battle cry lol

Since I have had very little sleep since Friday, I think you are correct. Standing, walking, and sitting are no problems, but when I lay down, it isn't long before the pain is very strong. I don't sleep well, in any event, with 4-5 hours at best. I was scheduled for a sleep study at the hospital, but my back pains and even less sleep have forced me to move it to November. Growing old is not for sissies.
