My squat was actually a significant drop in performance since the last time we did 5x3 and I'm not exactly sure why ... Maybe I was squatting a bit wider? I dunno. It was definitely all I could do to work through those sets though.

Doing rack pulls felt really nice to get some real weight on the bar. Also, it's been way too long since we've done a full DL day with both accessories...

I've been squatting wider stance lately (more power-lifter style stance) and I'm struggling with it. My hip flexibility is just barely there and my power out of the hole is way down even though I can't even squat as deep as my narrow stance. I'm not really sure if I should keep trying to learn the wider stance or if it's a lost cause?

My trap has really been bugging me from pressing so I thought I'd try incline instead of flat. It felt pretty good but still bugged the trap.

I felt like I probably could have gone a bit heavier on deads today. Unfortunately, I feel like I've been holding back lately because everything seems to not be going that great... Finally today felt pretty solid.

It's just me left. lol Seriously. This whole section of the forum is basically my own personal journal for the last year or so.

The deadlift pads have kilo plates and everything else is pounds so that's why. Kind of annoying but easier than trying to remember conversions in my head.

For some reason my back has been super screwed up for the last two days. The muscle directly under my scapula has just been burning and aching and I don't really know why. I'm wondering if I sat at my desk weird or slept on it funny or what?! I thought the gym would affect it more but it didn't really. It made it feel better if anything? So weird.
