Had a mishap in the gym prior to starting my press worksets. Stepped on the collar of a barbell and ended up on the floor. My calves didn't like the sudden movement and cramped up very hard and painfully. Couldn't continue. Could hardly walk. Driving home was a struggle.

Fri 9/3/18

Squat
130x5x1 (286)
Only completed first set as had some bad calf twitching (fasciculations) at bottom of rep 1 of set 2, and I'm paranoid that it's going to cramp. Also getting twitching at top of reps when legs are straight. It's really affecting me :-(

Deadlift
135x5 (297)

Sun 11/1/18

Press
61x5x3 (134)
Was the grindiest pressing yet. Going to have to tweak programming - don't think I'll get 3x5 with another 1kg increase.

Mon 12/3/18

Squat
130x5x1 (286)

Confidence is affected by the calf twitching. I'm finding myself not fully locking out in order to suppress it and I'm super wary every time I descend.

Deadlift
137.5x5 (303)
