Have had some back pain this week, and it got significantly worse after 2 reps @ 157.5kg. Took the weight off and did a few sets of 10-15 reps at 60kg which was less painful.

Still some back pain, but it didn’t increase during the warmups/worksets so I was able to repeat last weeks weight for these.

Need to add volume to get these much further, unless I want to punish myself w/ grinding and microloading…

Training got aborted with a call from work. Had to skip the last two sets… F***ing annoying as these seemed to be moving quite well without any back pain.

Went back in the evening and completed the BP & HB squats:

No back pain here either
