Bull Mastiff Week 19 Day 1 Squat
Low bar squat

Same. Program had 4 sets.
Leg Press

Computers busted. Can’t format stuff right on my phone.
Squat was frustrating. I’m so much stronger than this leg will allow.
Totally a fact. I have pulled that trick out at no less than 3 parties to date. lol

Bull Mastiff Week 1 Day 2 squatty type stuff
(1st day skipped since it didn’t start on a Monday)
Leg Press
440 2x6
450x6
Got through this without aggravating the leg, but pulled something in my back somehow. I don’t know how, these weights are nowhere near maximum effort.
Bulgarian Split Squat
60 3x10
Seated Leg Curls
120 3x12
Managed to finish the workout. This is a general prep week, not too important. I may have to skip the rest of it due to the back. Can barely walk today what with the back spasms.
Oh man. I hope it calms down quickly.
Heal up man.
I am thinking about you, get better!
Oh no! Hope it feels better soon.
Thanks all. It’s quite a bit better. I should be able to bench tonight.
The riskiest thing I will do tonight is walk to the gym. 10 minutes outside will frostbite your unprotected face.
You know, it’s cold where I am too… 
I’ll go yarn hunting. A wool blend would be nice.
Sounds perfect!

+

Both the leg and the back behaved themselves. Leg is still twingy near full depth, but I should be able to work further into it over time.
Woohoo!! Nice work.
Nice PR! I have never done a Zercher squat. They look tough. Strong work.
Elbow sleeves recommended when performing these. Or at least a towel wrapped around the bar.
I hear real men don’t need them, though.
