    Squat 285x5,3,2,1, 225x5. Got vids of sets 2-4. Bar felt really heavy on my back. Right hip having some sharp pains a few hours after. Still have some groin pain. Shoulders continue to improve slowly
    Bench 195x5x4
    Deadlift 313.5x1, 333.5x1, 363x0,0, 341x4. I was trying to get back up to the 365-370 range. But, I couldn't make it budge. Man, my head turns into a raisin when I valsalva.

    11/30/2017 BW 147.5, BW on 11/28 was 148

    Squat 260x1, 2405x1, 225x5x2, 225x5x2 beltless. I was going to go for 285 again, but this groin pain is still present. Pain hasn't changed much, but I am tired of it and need to figure something out. Decided to try lighter weights to see if there was a stance that didn't hurt. A narrower stance hurt less, but I'll need to fiddle with it more and probably back off heavier workouts until it heals up. I think I'll post a form check, but I'll need to edit the videos for time. I'll post a link if that happens.

    12/2/2017 BW 148.2

    There were no racks available so I actually deadlifted first. 345.5x5
    Press 115x5, 120x5, 126x5x4
    Squat: went up to 225x4, which hurt my groin. So I backed off to 135 since it didn't hurt during warmups. Did sets of 2 with 135, 155, 175, and 185. I started to get a tiny twinge of pain at 185 so I stopped there.

    12/5/2017 BW 147.5

    Squat - 185x5x5 paused. There was only some slight pain on a few reps here. Did them paused and beltless just to make them a little bit harder since I was squatting 285. Since things felt good, I went up to 225x1, 245x1, and 265x1, all of which were paused. 265 hurt a little bit, but the others felt okay.
    Bench - 207.5x5,4,3
    Chins BWx12,12,6

    I'm not quite sure what to do now with any of my lifts. I deadlifted 370x4 a few weeks ago, but for couldn't make progress after that. I'm trying to work back up to it on the LP.

    If this is the end of LP, I think my numbers are decent. Bodyweight went from 128 to 148 (probably not enough).
    Best lifts were:
    Squat at 285x5 with groin issue. (I did previously do 285x5,5,2)
    Press 138x5x3.
    Bench 206x5x3
    Deadlift 365x5 or 370x4.

    Comments, thoughts, suggestions?

    12/7/17 BW 149

    Squat 185x5x2, 190x5x3 paused. 225x1 paused, 265x1 paused. Had some pain with these, probably a little bit more than Tuesday, but once I made my stance even more narrow it seemed to help a lot.
    Bench 185x5x3. Chest was super sore from Tuesday. I was going to press today, but after squatting I left the rack and when I came back all the racks were taken.
    Deadlift 340x5. Misloaded. Should have been 350. Darn 25kg plates throwing me off. Oh well.

    12/9/2017 BW 148
    Deadlifted first 315x3x3
    Squat 185x1 I think. Didn't take good notes. Pain although not bad made me not want to push it.
    Press 135x4,3, 130x5x2

    12/10/17. Chins BWx12,12,9

    12/12/17 BW 147.5

    Squat BWx15x2, 45x15x2, 95x15x1, 135x15x1, 185x1, 225x1.
    135x15 sucked!-high reps. But it was not painful. 185 and 225 felt a slight twinge in the groin but no major pain. Shoulders continue to improve but still not normal.
    Bench 200x5x4 Prob RPE 9.5
    Deadlift 350x4

    12/14/17 BW 147.3

    Squat BWx15x2, 45x15x2, 95x15x1, 135x15x2, 185x1, 225x1. Neck gets really tired/achy/sore during these long sets. 225 did not feel very good on the groin but 185 was okay. Right shoulder still hurting. I've tried all sorts of different grips. It's driving me nuts.
    Press. 130x5,5,4,5 RPE 9-9.5, except for first set which was probably 8.
    Chins BWx12,11,8. Prior to deadlifts
    Deadlift. 300x3x2. Felt really heavy.

    12/16/17 BW 148.1

    Squat BWx15, 95x15, 135x15x2, 185x1, 225x1, 245x1. Right shoulder still hurts. 185 and 225 were without pain. I shouldn't have pushed it because 245 induced some groin pain.
    Bench 185x5x5
    Deadlift 350x5. Deadlifted in a separate room in the gym where they allow chalk. I lost my lifting straps at some point between 12/14 and 12/16. This was the first time I've attempted to deadlift anything over 315 without straps. My back also felt fried from the deadlifts on 12/14 but things were moving well so I decided to go ahead and try 350 again. It was actually fairly easy, I surprised myself by being able to hold on to the bar and by just how easily the weight moved. I think I'll deadlift here from now on if the room is open.

    Deadlift 360x2. 315x5. Since 350 was so easy last session I got greedy and wanted to go for 360. I've taught myself this lesson before. I obviously didn't learn.
    Bench 205x5x4.
    Squat BWx15, 45x15x2, 95x10, 135x8. I'm not experiencing more groin pain, but I'm thinking any pain at all is impeding my recovery from this thing.

    12/21/17 BW 149.2

    Squat BWx15x2, 45x15, 95x15, 135x15, 155x2, 175x2, 195x2, 215x2. That might have been a mistake to go up in weight. We shall See. Nothing really hurt during the sets, but I feel a little bit of weirdness in my groin going on afterward.
    Press 130x5x4. Much easier than last time.

    Deadlift 360x4, 315x5
    Bench 190x5x4 paused
    Squat BWx15, 45x15, 95x5, 135x10 185x1. Some groin pain and back feels shot (but didn't hurt)

    Developed some back pain the following day, which got worse as time progressed

    12/26/2017. Having some pretty intense low back pain today
    Deadlift 135x10x2, 225x5x2, 275x2. I was able to move the weight, but it felt really heavy and did not alleviate the pain, as it did in the past.
    Bench 210x4,5,5,5. Had to put my feet on a 25 lb plate because of back pain.
    Chins x12,12,10

    Back pain continued and got worse. I could barely turn over in bed without it hurting. I also had a very difficult time getting on socks and shoes.

    12/29/17 BW 149. Back pain less intense than previous days, although getting on socks and shoes in the morning was difficult. By workout time, back had improved substantially. I did not feel much different than normal, but everything felt much heavier than normal.

    Press 135x2, 125x5,5,4,4
    Squat BWx15, 45x15, 95x5, 135x5 Didn't feel too bad on the groin. It's starting to feel really heavy on my back, though. Shoulder mobility is terrible and getting into position is not easy. Did lots of stretches as described by coach Horn.
    Chins BWx12,12,10
    Deadlift 45x15, 65x15, 115x10, 135x10, 185x5

    Right shoulder feels funny (does not hurt) in time immediately postworkout.

    1/2/18. BW 147.3. Still having low back pain
    Bench 195x5x4 paused
    Deadlift 135x10x2, 225x5, 275x3, 315x2. 315 super heavy but I was rushed to leave the are of the gym closed and did not rest long enough warmups

    Back pain persisted.

    1/4/18 BW 149.8
    Bench 215x3,2, 205x5x2
    Deadlift 135x5x2, 225x5, 275x5, 225x10. My basic plain was just to do the deadlift while concentrating on form to keep something like training going and hopefully alleviate the pain. I loaded 315 but when I bent down to take my grip, my low back just did not feel right, so I unloaded to 225 and just pulled 10.
    Chins (neutral-ish grip, shoulder width) 12,12,10

    I'm still not squatting, altough I'm dying to get back to it. I'm trying to give my adductor and my shoulder a rest to see if they will stop hurting. My groin pain has actually gotten worse over the past few days, which has me concerned.

    At least my bench is going up.(?)

    Press 130x5x4. Crap these were hard
    Deadlift 135x10,5,5, 225x5, 275x3,315x5, 275x5x2. 315 was quite heavy. It did not help that I did not have enough chalk on my hands (main lifting room "prohibits" chalk)
    Chins x 12,12,10
    Had much less back pain today

    Back pain subsided 1/7 and 1/8

    1/9/18 BW 149.5. Back pain is worse today.

    Deadlift 135x10x2, 225x5, 275x3, 320x5. Hard. I think I had a hard time setting my back because I was too full, too. Did not make back feel better. It might have been worse.
    Bench 195x5x4, paused. These moved fast.
    Chinsx12x3
    Back pain has lessened in the evening. Still giving the adductor a rest and not squatting. Cheers.
