barbed, nice cardio session :stuck_out_tongue: great work all around

BPF i like your mind, most people miss the aspect of 5x5 delving into the cardio zone, let alone adding timed rests…let alone 1 min timed rests. All by design as ill be able to increase rest time as weight increases and walls form.

Which btw, this is week 3 and my last sets were quite difficult, but not failure, i assumed around week 4 id approach that and seem to be on target.

Stretch/ warmup

Woke up w. Massive knot in my low back yesterday. Stretched n heat treated. Was a bit better today but still not right. Doesn’t seem like a pull nor even a strain, a knot best descrubes it… def. Was down on power once i got into it… called it a day on squats and just did a full back down… which was very disappointing. 250 for 5x5 on ssb would be a p.r n sign of good progress . 240 last week was decent.

Between my sore elbow n now this appears time for a deload… which. Btw… is common for me at 6-7 weeks… which is where im at…
