Notes: Had some big plans, but my abductor is still not ready.  The first set of 20 felt good, just a little tight, but I had a pull/twinge on the follow up set at 135lbs.  Used the knee wrap to brace through out most of the workout after that, but for the final sets of 20+ I went without it.  As much as I don't want to, I'm going to take some time off the buffalo bar and stick with the SSB.  It's easier on my abductor for a few reasons.  Once is that my elbows make contact with my quads at the bottom of the rep, so I can brace there and move slowly out of the eccentric, and the other is that I don't have to keep my torso as rigid as when I do buffalo bar squats, which means I can let more tension go to my core instead of my legs.  All squats were VERY slow and controlled, making things pretty brutal, despite the low weight on the bar.  Unfortunately, this kind of injury takes a bit to get to 100%, but it thankfully doesn't seem to slow me down on other parts of my training.
