Thursday light squat

AM workout
no work today, so went in to bench, I'm a fairly social guy so not having training partners around and no atmosphere isn't so much fun, but not a huge deal either.

Bench
barx25, 135x15, 185x5, 225x5, 265x5, 285x5

I'll be semi happy when I get 295x5, but I'm just going to keep going up 10lbs every training session doing 5's until i miss a rep, figure out where I'm at, then do a sheiko bench routine. I really felt like I was in the 380-390 range before I hurt my pec, so kinda sucks, but I'll get it back, and all the squatting will likely help, but I also doubt I'll bench very big until I stop squatting everyday... or start working a lot less.

PM Workout
Warm up
bike
hip stretch
rollover into v sit - Since I started these again I haven't had problems with my pelvis rounding
mountain climbers - they just seemed like a good idea

Back squat
135x1x3, 225x1, 315x1, 365x1, 405x1, 440x10 singles

Used some Voltaren gel on my knees before training. Didn't eliminate the knee pain by any means, but it sure made my warm up a lot easier. I got in huge shit with my chiro for taking a lot of Aleve before training... he even called Sam Dube' to help give me shit... no joke. If the gel keeps working like this it will really make training a lot more enjoyable. I'm going to have to figure out how to get a bit more psyched up tho, the pain usually keeps me pretty up, today I felt kind of flat, but Megan might have also made me sick, so I'm not sure.

The squats themselves have been feeling really good. I've been sitting back into them and really locking my torso, I only really let 1 rep fall out of groove tonite, and it wasn't bad at all. I know I'm out of groove if I bounce into the hole, as I try to fall back. Good squats I just go up and down smooth.

One little snag, I tweeked my back tonite a bit, low right side... I get a little anxious over it as I had an injury there that wouldn't go away for around 6 months, but I'm hoping it's just some floating pain and will go away, I think an adjustment would be a good idea either way though.
