This was incredibly anti-climactic
You can't just enjoy a bunch of nice kitties without an action scene? Fine. Today's are all action.

I had to adjust a bit today. I've had chronic pain that's been moving around my left leg for several months now. Maybe over a year, actually. I'd have to go check.
Anyway, I know it's mental, not an actual nerve or muscle issue, but that doesn't mean I know how to get rid of it. Yesterday I finally got pissed at it and just forced the movements I've been hesitant about. I stretched the hell out of my hamstrings (straight legs, palms to the ground), and that seems to have 95% gotten rid of it, finally. But I was definitely feeling my legs here and had to bump squats down.
Chin-ups are going well. I'm going to cap the first set at 12, and when I hit 12 on the second set as well, I'll start adding weight, and maybe a third set.

Adjusted here, too, though that was less to do with my legs. I switched to sumo and changed my warm-ups because of that, but I just skipped Fronts Squat and Curls because I couldn't focus at all. I had a coding problem that was bugging me, so I cut it short and spent 2.5 hours straight fixing it.
But hey, it worked. I have limited experience with databases, and I've never gone from CSV to MySQL before, but I did eventually get it. I've now got PL meet results successfully uploading. I might come back and finish the workout tomorrow, depending on how I feel.
Overall, upper body can continue on LP for a while, but I'm going to have to change strategies on lower body pretty soon here.
