Deads felt a little off, so simply matched performance to last week. Adding in some high rep squatting to aid in rehabbing the bitch piriformis. On the upside, looked super lean & dry this morning at ~81.5kg / ~179lb, so things are going well on that front. 

Gotta get this hip issue resolve to get lower body back on track.

Decided to have a little fun today with some curls, not something I do very often. Also, gonna start slowly ratcheting up the weight on 5x10 chins, keeping volume stagnant.

Bench sets were pretty damn difficult, but ended up getting them all... barely. 
Presses went well, not too much grinding going on there. 

Training Log - Squats

Back Squat

130kg - 3 sets x6

RDL

Shrugs

Energy was low as shit today. Squats felt pretty crappy even with the reset weights. Probably gonna have to figure out wtf is up with my glute/piriformis that's been giving me trouble. Ugh. Gonna take a slow progression with these.

RDLs & Shrugs felt easy, as usual. 

Carb intake today - 750g.  Yum

Good training day. Motivation was high, feels good to get a fresh start on some new training methods. Looking forward to some slow, consistent gains during the next few months.

Things have been pretty busy lately, with lots coming up over the next few months. I'll likely be shifting things around regarding training possibly even resorting to a lesser frequency for a while. Such is life and the pendulum swing of weightlifting. Of course, I will still be pushing for gains every session. Kind of interested to see how it goes.
