Re: Not to change the Subject but
Made some sugar cookies last night. I was wondering why the first batch took an extra ten minutes when I realized one of the sheets I used side by side was longer than my oven is deep and the door didn't close. Tried some this morning and the first batch were the crunchiest suger cookies I have ever eaten.

Squat w Belt
Failed 300. I keep saying it's my hip but it more groin. I get to about parallel and it gives out. It's the right that gets wanky squatting but I've noticed both sides have a slight ache. I'm just going to drop weighted squats for a while. Switch to air squats, step ups and try to find couple flights of stairs. I could try Anderson squats since coming back up doesn't seem to trigger it.
Edit: I'm dumb you have to put the bar back on the pins so Andersons won't work.

Things that don't work: Ignore it and hope it gets better.
Things that work: Absolutely stupid amounts of air squats every day for a week every time you stand up.
Also I am to old and fat for old style throw yourself at a wall linear programming. Oh well fun while it lasted. I really did enjoy it.

Re: Not to change the Subject but
Standard Linear Progression programming (adding weight each session or each week) literally never worked for me, even at the very beginning. May have had something to do with the fact that I didn't start until I was already in my 40's. But no worries - there's still a LOT of progress to be made.

I'll forget and try again one day. It's only a matter of time.
Also did you know 8D batteries are heavy and you shouldn't swing them to get them onto a high truck bed? Pulled a muscle in my lower left back Tuesday being a dumdass. It's okay now but I was walking funny Wednesday.

Re: Not to change the Subject but
Ok, finally put together what happened. Was it a missed clean, or did it just fall from the front rack? That's a lot of weight to catch

Re: Not to change the Subject but
Bar slipped coming up from the first rep and dropped into my arms because I cross grip.
Figured I caught it I might as well finish the warm up.

Re: Not to change the Subject but
Ah following now. During my past period of trying to convince myself that I don’t loathe front squats, I also cross gripped and had repeated issues with dropping the bar in that same way. The last time, I tried to maneuver the bar back up to the j-hook by essentially rotating up the should on the side where I’d caught the bar, and ended up fucking myself up for a good few weeks. Fuck front squats.

Re: Not to change the Subject but
Switching some exercises around. Moving deadlift and squats to Tues/Fri. Deadlift is going to Tuesday because my pull is such garbage that squats probably need the weekend more.

Got called into work right after. So hopefully I can finish the session later.
Easy single though which is nice. Was kind of worried because I strained my left butt muscle yesterday pressing. Somehow.

Re: Not to change the Subject but
Deload next week so I think I'm going to change a few exercises starting then. Going to keep BtN, CG, and front squats and change out spoto, pin press and deficit. Don't know to what yet.

Probably get one more week out of these before resetting or changing rows.
