Bench went much better today compared to last week
Squat*
My back started bothering me as I was warming up. The pain is in the lower part of my left lat and goes up the side. The pain feels like a really painful cramping and makes lifting really hard. This pain sets in when ever I have to brace or bend over. However, does not hurt at all during any pressing, very upright squatting, rowing, pull ups, or running. I think this is really a fatigue thing more than anything else. The last two weeks I've been traveling a lot, sleeping little, eating poorly, and just switched into a high volume program with new movements.
Kind of bummed out that this happened because I am in the middle of a hypertrophy phase which I was excited about. I will have to manage the stress by finding new movements that do not hurt and slowly build back up. I was scheduled to deadlift tomorrow. I think I'll start by warming up with the bar and seeing how much I can do.
