No box for me to squat to at this gym, unfortunately, which meant that I had to improvise. Worked up to 315 again on low bar squats, but I could still feel my hip from the damn injury that I had last summer. Felt like I could be smarter in getting my work done. Experimented with other squat variations that I should be using for the rest of this month. Experimented with other machines/equipment as well. I was exhausted by the end of this.

Good effort. Switched the good mornings to romanian deadlifts. I think I may be changing around my program's setup here in the next little bit when I get some spare time to sit down and move things around. I've had the same sort of setup for the past two years.

I accidentally loaded 205 instead of 215 without thinking at the beginning of this session, and I did two sets with the weight before realizing that I misloaded. Changed it to 215 and chose to not count the first two sets, but I still missed my rep target here.

Good sash. I think that the weights I'm using on the romanians are so light in comparison to the loads that I used previously due to my setup. I have the hinge really pronounced currently, with my ass way out. I did not do them this way when I previously did the exercise.

Had to try a variety of different pin heights on the squats here. My hurt glute is once again showing its ugly face now that I've had to find an alternative to my box squats. I need to get the thing looked at, but I can't really justify doing so while being so poor while I finish up school. I miss my box. Going to have to find the right height for these so I can be pain free. Super slow tempo squats are still tolerable, thankfully.

My bench was horrific today for whatever reason. Failed the third rep on my assigned ten sets of three with 230 on the first set. Had to significantly lighten the load. Not sure what happened there, though my squats were pain free today. Even though the bench went poorly, I'm still thrilled about being able to squat without problems today.

Felt really strong today. Did an AMRAP on box squats this week since I didn't progress the load last cycle due to not having access to my normal box.
