I feel better.

My right side feels like it's sore and tender now, rather than a sharp, stabby pain I had earlier.

Foam Rolling

  • 20 minutes

High Bar Squat

Going to start off light, and add weight every set to see how it feels.

Not bad. Usually the first rep or two, I feel a little pain, but then it goes away.

I find that sticking my chest up and ass out seems to help.

Testing out a thumbless, or false grip starting at 140 lb since I'll be going light today.

    • Missed first time with thumbless grip. Changed to my regular grip and missed. Normally I have no problems with this weight. Probably missed because Monday's bench press at 300x5x5 is affecting this, or that injury, or both.
