warm ups have been feeling good. Still feeling a twist in the hole that's interesting me... I awkwardly hit my ankle recently, and then squatted on it, feels fine during my sets, but bothers me during the day and is fairly noticeable. I felt my right hip take a bit more of the load tonite in the hole, and I think generally my knees hurt so much recently, as well as my belt, that I may not have noticed. Tried a few reps with slightly different cues in my head, one where I curled back slightly, and one where I sit between my knees, both pushing my knees out, generally the between the knees felt much more upright. Sets weren't very much fun, as my lower quads, right above the kneed are aching pretty good, that pain moved down from the rec femoris, and is not one I've ever experienced before. Going to look into that to make sure it's ok... which involves me asking Megan who either tells me, or tells me where to look. Such a keeper.
I wasn't expecting to have such a difficult workout, the last few months, it takes 365 with my belt on before I actually squat pain free. I used to feel pretty ok right from the start besides the low back, but after WSP I've just gotten extremely tight all over to more how I was in the begining of my career. Back then when my hip would bother me a lot, I'd just warm it up until I could squat. Or if my knee started to hurt, I'd buy knee sleeves. I was always kind of hurt, but I just expected it, I never got seroiusly hurt, and I was happy with the way i was progressing back then. Then I kind of got carried away with gear and competing and stressing myself out for no reason.
Back squat
200 6x1, 255 4x1, 300 4x1, 320 4x1, 330 4x1
Thursday is some reps with 425, and just having that on my back is going to make me feel a lot better confidence wise. Looking forward to see what mark wants me to do the last couple weeks.
