Notes: I noted that, whenever I used this approach to squat, my deadlift was doing it’s best, and whenever I deviated, my deadlift dropped. I know this is the style that gave me a 2 month+ injury, and I could feel the abductor getting mad during the workout, but for the first time in a while, it got BETTER as I did more squatting rather than worse. Just have to pay attention, take thing slow, and practically pause between the eccentric and the concentric. I can do that. Weight is a bit low and I wasn’t pushing to absolute total failure, but it was good to come back to this. My mobility is significantly better traveling through the squat and holding onto the bar, a product of stretching and weight loss to be sure. I had some more in me, but since it’s been a while since I’ve trained this way, I capped it. I typically limp for 4-6 days after a workout like this, but maybe all the 100 rep workouts have done something for me.

Really focused on keeping my form on the reverse hypers today. Hard arch at the top.

Had a few decent snatches in the conditioning workout, but mostly pressing out. Blame it on fatigue.

Weighed in at 180.8 this morning. Dangerously close to seeing that 1 and 7 as the first 2 numbers. Crazy I managed that after eating out for practically every meal for 5 days. I even had an extra meal on each day: a legit breakfast on top of my yogurt on PB fit. I may start gradually adding some calories by way of dried fruit around my training to see if I can get away with it.
