Beginning Thoughts:

Body is very sore....I can't figure out why though....Plus, I think I gained back those 8 lbs I lost last month...Fucking zero determination to NOT stuff food in my face...and damn that packet of Oreo cookies sitting on my desk tempting me!!!

Workout:

Pistol Squats:
Left Leg: Assisted, Assisted, 2 reps, 1 rep, 1 rep
Right Leg: Assisted, 1 rep, 1 rep, 1 rep, 1 rep
Not as good as 2 days ago but then again: I didn't feel like doing this...I was too anxious about squats.

Back Squats:
335 lbs x 1 rep
Something is just not right. I am facing a few problems with squats:
1.) I can't get my shoulder alignment right. I am not able to grip the bar as closely as I used to. Therefore, with a wider grip, I am not feeling as "tight" as I normally do. Also, I think with a wider grip I am also not going as deep as I normally do.
2.) I am experiencing a lot of difficulty at about mid-point on my way up. I definitely think this is because of doing Pistol Squats 2x a week.
3.) I am feeling WAY too comfortable when I am in the hole. The weight feels like barely anything. I have a habit of pausing at the bottom and the weight feels like air. But the moment I am coming back up and at mid-point: it hits me really hard.
After doing 335 lbs I felt like shit so I quit this.

Density Training @ 15 minutes:
Glute Ham Raises = BW x 7 reps x 5 sets
Cable Wood Chops = 27.5 lbs x 15 reps x 6 sets

Nothing significant

Overall Impression:

Although my squats are "suffering" (I don't think thats the right word here but nonetheless...) my goal is to nail those pistols so I am gonna remove back squats for this mesocycle and instead I am gonna go back to doing overhead squats on this day. I'll add in back squats in the next mesocycle if I have to but right now back squats are out and overhead squats are in. I need to get my comfort back in squatting. All of a sudden front squats seem so much more fun than back squats.
