Squat 45x5 135x3 205x1
Did not feel recovered. On first set of a planned 3, I had a little tweak.
I thought I'd just go up in time between sets, crank up some angry music and continue but got a another tweak just unracking.
My last squat workout was 2 days ago... so maybe I rethink my workout pattern.
Probably need 2 days between the 3 "heavy worksets" (aka 2 squats and 1 deadlift).
Which puts me on a 9 day cycle. Might be the way to go.
Near bottom of the left shoulder blade. Felt like a smallish muscle pull. It "worried me" about being straight.
Would have pushed through it if not for feeling un recovered.
Maybe need a day off every third day.
Not what I "want" but may be what I need.
Maybe I'm not pushing hard enough.
I think that makes perfect sense
Btw. I saw in your bio that you were a C-130 pilot. It made me wonder if you ever crossed paths with William Jackson. Bill was my brother in law and one of my best friends. I miss that guy. I believe he flew C-130 years ago.

PizzaDad: I knew a Jimmy Jackson, (1976 AFA classmate) don't think he flew 130's. I flew 130's out of Little Rock (with rotations to Mildenhall UK) from 77 to 82. 50th Tactical Airlift squadron.
Went to Ft Benning quite a bit, parachute training stuff.
When did your friend fly, and where was he based. It is a smallish community. You flew almost exclusively with guys in your squadron. But C-130's first flew in like 1959. The birds I flew were manufactured in the early 60's and early 70's.
It was a fun bird to fly but it actually handled like a Cessna 172, LOL. (except for prop torque). What was great about flying the C-130 was that you almost never went to an "International Airport". All you really needed was a dirt road. So everything was much more interesting. Small towns. Especially cool was flying in Turkey. Almost died there, but even that was a cool story.
Very different world back then.

Dead 135x3 235x2x2 was going for a 3
Beginning to wonder if my struggles are from strength decay. Although the stress of being an industry analyst, in a collapsed industry is less than ideal.
