I felt beat to shit from monday for some reason, my legs were completely destroyed and I was walking funny at school all day. My groin and hip abductors were super tight. We had another snow day yesterday, and fortunately I got a text telling me, so I could fall back asleep with no problem. I went sledding and got a decent amount of hill running haha. My bodyweight was at 232.8 this morning, after weighing 238 monday night, after a half gallon of chocolate milk and the fattest chipotle burrito I've ever had.


Squats- I was planning to go lighter than usual today, but as I started warming-up, Ty and a fellow PL-er, Pat (who apparently trained with Jason Pegg), began critiquing my form. Just when I thought my form was getting better, it turns out not much more could be wrong. But atleast I wasn't collapsing at the bottom any more. But they had me do a set of 50 reps just with the bar, of perfect form box squats. Only good ones counted. It turns out my knees weren't going out far enough, they were too far forward, I wasn't sitting back enough, and my posterior chain is about as shitty as can be. And to add to that, I couldn't even take the bar out of the monolift correctly. After many sets of double at 135 and 185, I guess my form was decent enough for them to carry on with their own training. It honestly took about an hour and half just for that. Chances are I'll walk even weirder tomorrow than I did today.

Bench- 3x165x5. Felt much better than monday.

Chin-ups- 3xAMAP, I got x5,x4,x3. I guess thats an improvement seeing as how I haven't done them in quite a while.


Dips- 3xAMAP, x4,x3,x4. Not my best, but I'll take it seeing how sore I was from monday.

Decided to pass on the GHR today since my hamstrings already felt like they were ripping apart from squatting. I'm planning on replacing them with Glute Bridges for the next couple weeks.

Finished up with a 220# prowler for 10 sets of 75'. Nothing too hard, just enough to get the lungs burning a little. Super setted them with CoC #2 negative reps, probably did about 5 sets of 3 reps per hand.

Nothing bothers me more than someone telling me I'm not doing something right repeatedly. I don't know what happened in my childhood to make me like this, but it bothered the shit out of me. I guess I'm just gonna have to keep hammering my squat form. Wouldn't it be cool if one day I squatted 1,000 pounds despite it currently being my worst lift? I think so. I really don't know the chances of that happening though. Maybe I'll be the next Andy Bolton.
