Week: 9.3
Weight: 169.0
Squat: 220x5
Press: 90x5
Dead: 270x5
Squats: Things felt MUCH better today. Little-to-no hip pain, and quite a bit less fatigue. I got my hips back much better and kept my knees from sliding quite a bit better too. The last set was still a little tough, and I missed depth on my final rep as a result. But things feel a lot better.
Press: This better too. But that’s expected given the deload. I still don’t feel like I “get” the press yet, but I’m trying. Hope to nail down my form during this deload.
Deadlift: Reps 1-4 were solid. Rep 5 was a little rough (loose back, lack of tightness) but not as bad as any of last week’s reps.
Overall: Taking Saturday off was a good idea. I felt much better today and made progress on squats and deadlifts.
I’ve also been eating more and saw a weight gain as a result. I think that contributed as well. Going to keep pounding the food!
