Was a bit worried that being on (mostly) carnivore diet might have affected my energy levels. Woke up feeling a bit drained but was fine once had some carbs before I worked out.

117.5kgx4 - fuck. Felt strong and had 6 in me but the side of my back started hurting in a really weird way. Lower right lat area. Maybe I need to add a few pull-ups to my leg warmup routine to hit that area
117.5kgx4 - did about 15 mins of stretching my back before this set. Still not 100%.

Legs today

Warmup incl 1 set pull-ups and 2 sets SLDL. Pulled my left knee in an awkward way yesterday and it hurt a lot so didn’t train legs yesterday - took the day off

Squat
117.5kgx5
117.5kgx5 - left knee got really painful during this set. I can’t seem to get a break on leg day… going to have to lower the weight to finish the workout; really don’t want an injury.
