Squat 1×5 @ 146

Resting 2 minutes.
Took a long warmup today as back was feeling pretty stiff yesterday.
Had to reset on unpack initially which was followed by a single rep.
Fully reset again for a second single.
Left side lower back and glute not feeling great.

Checked video and looks like I’m slow on getting the knees forwards.

Deadlift 2×5 @ 132.5

Warmup here felt better than squat.
Set 1 broke the floor before feeling way off in the left glute and, for some reason, the mid thoracic.

Check the video here too but can’t see any glaring issues. Maybe not setting the back hard enough.

Summary

Uploading everything today…
Lower back feeling tight again.
Managed 2 squats and a quarter deadlift in total.

Shit is beginning to get old tbh.

Deadlift 2×3 @ 150

Resting 3 minutes.
All good here. Moving nice and smooth.
Rep 2 as usual going quicker than rep 1.

Squat 4xx5 @ 122

Resting 3 minutes.
First 2 sets all good.
Set 3 unpacked then felt a weird pressure in the lower back, a little like when a joint gets stuck in a position before you crack it.
Called it a day there as last time I felt that it took me 3 minutes to stand up again.

Summary

Good deadlifts.
Also good squats from what I got done.

Squat 1×5 @ 144

Resting 2 minutes.
Rep 5 felt horrible!

Deadlift 2×5 @ 130

Resting 2 minutes.
All good here. Felt easy.

Keg Clean 5 minute AMRAP @ 40

Weight movement is weird here due to the way the keg is loaded.
Managed 5 full(ish) reps then my lower back/upper glute/piriformis started giving me the good news.
Im not overly concerned about it just yet but will stretch out a little extra today.

Summary

Mostly good but with something to keep my eye on.
