July 9 - 1 week update-

Down to 191 in weight. the HST is alright. We are tired after diong it just because we are doiing 2 sets per exercise currently. We will adjust sets when we decrease the reps/set, and get higher in weight.

My diet has been on all week. I got my cheating in today at my sisters birthday party, they had such a good grill goin. So I am full for the night.

I may have injured my hip tendon (iliopsoas hip flexor ) or something in that area. Im going to get it checked this week, hopefully tomorrow. Ive been runnuing this program Sweet Sixteen . Basically a 4 week squat program. Squats every day. 2 times each day, and 3 times on wed and saturday. I have been using a chair or bucket on top of some plates depending on the heights needed for box squats. My legs have been loving it all week. I have always had thicker legs, and they needed the shock treatment. So I liked it, until today. I did my morning and afternoon sets. Went out to the party and got back fot my night routine.
I did 6 sets of 6 with 275, pause at bottom. My hips were starting to get stressed because I raised them first on a few reps, no biggie, I just tried to get back into proper form on the next few sets. Then I had to do high box stepups. I decided to use our picnic table. It comes up to my waist about. So I step up on it with one foot, and pull myself up. feels good, I go to step back down, I felt a terrible pull in my groin. So I toughed it out, only 3 sets of 3. So Im icing it now, I will heat it in a bath in the morning, and have it checked out tomorrow.
I will say one thing. Natural Glute Ham Raise - holy hell. They burn sooo good. I cannot do much more than negatives now, I cant wait until I can pull myself up. Great excercise.

I will be redoing my goals. There is no way Im going to do 50 pullups. Im going to make everything about gaining strength for now. So 10 pullups with 40lbs something like that.
