I don't know what happened today but it really sucked. My back hurt still from previous work outs, my groin was hurting on squats, i have some sort of shin splint or something from calf raises, ugh. I think its time for a deload.

Front Squats (attempt) - Light Day
bar x 6 (warmup)
115lbs x5 (warmup)
145lbs x2 (weight acclimation)
155lbs 1x5, 2x5 regular squat

I've never tried these before and I don't think I'm going to ever do them again. My shoulders are bruised today from doing them. I can't get my arms up high enough since my acl is so tight and the bar always rolls down...not cool. This exercise is officially out of the question for me. Blah... and even 155lbs seemed heavy. Yuck. Also, my groin started acting up and some kinda shin splint pain in my right leg. I was a hurting unit...

Standing Military Press
75lbs x 5 (warmup)
95lbs x 3 (warmup)
120lbs 1x5
105lbs 2x5

NO energy today and I was upset already from doing so bad on the other exercises.


Deads
40kg x 5 (warmup)
60kg x 5 (warmup)
80kg x 3(weight acclimation)
100kg x 5 (work set)
110kg x 5 (work set)

Well my back hurt still from the real heavy squats on monday (which was still hurting from the previous friday) so we called off trying to go up. Even these lighter sets seemed way heavy.


Pull ups
BW+ 20lbs

The last couple reps weren't great. I think I might stick with this weight next time.

Standing Calf Raises
90lbs x 8 (warmup)
180lbs x 6 (warmup)
280lbs 3x10


Diet

Don't remember, that was a couple days ago.


Thoughts,

I think I've hit the plateau or something cause I thought I got a good sleep the night before, I ate well all day and still it went so bad. It just feels like I don't have enough time to heal anymore when the weight is this heavy.
