10/7/2006 RE Squat

Ended up taking an extra day off. I'm enjoying the ability to just lift without stress about it, but I do need to kick things into a higher gear. Still at level shit, although made some nice progress today.

Warmup: 5 mins bike, dynamic stuff

Squat
45x10
95x10
135x5
185x5
225x5
2x5 @ 275
As I was unracking the bar for a third set, something didn't feel right in my upper back, and my left hand felt weak. Feels OK now, but I need to visit my chiro. Low back is uncomfortable when compressed, but it isn't always - I think that has to do with spending time sitting on a stool in my kitchen.

SLDL
135x8
2x5 @ 225

Pull thru
4x10 @ 110

Leg ext
3x12 @ 100

Obliques on 45 deg hyper

Lying leg raise

Stretching

Workout time: 1:40 - 2:50

I'm toying with the idea of going to a very basic beginners routine from KTP - a full body workout 3 times a week with an emphasis on high rep squatting. Might be fun, and it might help rebuild the base. I'll mull it over.
