Squat 3 x 2 @ 152.5

Resting 3 minute(s).
Warmups feeling heavy.
Set 1 actually felt ok.
Set 2 rep 2 bottomed out so rode it to the pins.
Felt some strain/tightness in the left glute/hamstring that I’ve not felt before.

Summary

Unplanned week off last week thanks to general all round fatigue.

Called it early today after squat miss. Still feeling tired.
I did do a handful of front squats to see if the glut/ham feeling was still noticeable but it wasn’t.

Also feeling some discomfort in the right delt and have been for a few weeks. Only when under load or with my arm fully extended though.
Got a physical coming soon so will ask.

Think I need to change things up a bit at either the end of this block or just reset and start over with something fresh.

Press 3 x 8 @ 50

Resting 2 minute(s).
Tough one on set 1.
Set 2 feeling better but still not easy.
Only 7 reps on set 3.

Log 3 x 5 @ 62.5

Resting 2 minute(s).
Not today! Failure to launch!

Summary

A little discomfort in the right medial deltoid before starting. Felt better after warmups and pressing but still noticeable.
Calling it after failing on log, don’t want to aggravate anything further, especially with the loads all being in PR territory.
Not been in the rep failure zone for a good long time though.
