Nice log, I’m going to start mine next week when back from visitant family.

I also had a hip issue (Searing pain when I tensed my hip during Squat/bench/dead and general soreness all the time) that lasted around almost a year, I was running and weight training. I eventually just took 4 weeks off of training at the start of this year and it went, I eased back in to training over 2-3 months. No idea what it was, and it may have gone even if continued training smartly. Who knows. I just know it was frustrating as hell and my progress was awful. I haven’t been running much this year at all though.

Low energy throughout today, had to undershoot a bit

21/08

Squat no belt
120kg x 4
125kg x 4
127.5kg x 4

Floor press
80kg x 4
85kg x 4
87.5kg x 4 - limited options in my gym for overload bench

Rack pull
130kg x 4
140kg x 4
150kg x 4 - slightly above mid-shin, difficult to get a good position on the rack available

24/08

Squat w/belt
140kg x 1
112.5kg x 5 x 5 - 3 mins rest each set, single didn’t move as well as I’d hoped and hip was complaining a lot during warmups but the volume sets felt good like my technique was holding together well

1ct bench
95kg x 1
75kg x 5 x 5 - pretty much exactly like the squat; rough single, was hoping for a bit more but good backoffs, technique feeling decent. Short rests here

Row
60kg x 10
65kg x 10
70kg x 10 x 2 - enjoyed these but feel quite weak on them, definitely @9 on the second set

26/08

Dead w/belt
160kg x 1
127.5kg x 5 x 5 - single moved really well, don’t think I’ve been getting enough air in at the start on deads so was focusing on that and it seemed to have an impact, did the first couple of reps of each volume set DOH then hooked the rest

Press w/belt
65kg x 1
52.5kg x 5 x 5

303 squat
70kg x 10
80kg x 10
90kg x 10
87.5kg x 10 @9 for sure here

Minimal rests for everything (2-3mins) but still a pretty long session for three movements :confused: also doing three days instead of recommended four, thinking maybe something else would be more appropriate right now… will see how it goes
