    Wednesday I did 3 sets of 185 on bench at work. This morning I did 3 sets of 5 at 275 for squat. I didn't deadlift at all this week. Work was busy and ate up a lot of my week.

    yeah, my knees, etc, won't tolerate running anymore either.

    Yeah, I'd rather just not run and save the knees.

    This morning before work.
    Squat. 45x5,5
    115x5
    185x3
    225x5
    275x5,5,5. I was tired and had planned to just do 3 sets of 5 at 225. But it was too easy even though it felt heavy. So I did 275.
    At work I slipped down to the small gym for half an hour and did some dumbbell bench press. 30x10
    50x5
    75x5,7,6,8
    It ain't the program but it was this or nothing.

    Default 2 steps forward, 1 step back

    Body weight 215.8 in the morning.

    Squat bwx5,5,5
    45x5,5
    115x5
    185x3
    225x2
    280x5,5 Weights moved pretty well. Last rep was a grind but nothing terrible. I was setting up for the 3rd set and when I started to get under the bar I felt something in my left leg. at the top of the quad, where it joins the hip....I decided not to attempt the set. Glad I did because it feels like I pulled something...I have looked at anatomy charts and can't figure out what.

    Press. 45x5,5
    65x5
    95x5
    115x5,5,5. My left side is noticeably weaker than my right. Left shoulder has been bothering me lately...there is always something.

    chin-ups 5,5,5.

    I didn't attempt any deadlifts since that pull in the hip area feels like it would be exacerbated by them. I will start rehabbing whatever it is today with some high rep work. Oh the good times
