Might just rest my weary limbs, and not train at all until Monday. Weight going down very slightly - 96.7k

I have no money to pay you to keep it off you tube, but I can pay in kind. Meant to be a good session tonight however things turned out differently! Got a PB again, but thats only half the story! Squats: 5x 70k 5x 90k 3x 120k 1x 150k 1x 160k (failed - stupidly fell forward, have no idea why?) 1x 160k (completed squat, but on the way up i pulled something! Inside top of leg - felt it go twang!) Bench: 20x bar 5x 70k 5x 90k 2x 110k 1x 122.5k (New PB) 2x 110k 2x 110k Really pissed off with the injury! Come at the wrong time, as I need to progress!

not particularly well educated Member 85, 10990 posts SQ 170, BP 130, DL 260 560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq	bad news on the injury mate but a benchpress pb must be some compensation.

You may find that this is simply how you tend to fail squats at the moment - it was for me for ages (and may still be sometimes, for all I know). In my case it was a symptom of squatting too narrow and hitting the bottom without enough control. Hope the injury turns out to be little or nothing - sometimes they do!

Last two times I have failed, it has been in the same way! With regards to stance, yes! I always have in mind to widen my stance, but it sort of never happens, and I always end up squatting far too narrow! Something I must now work on! Have a very busy day today at work, and thats going to be a bit of a challenge! Can't even walk upstairs properly!

as deep as his fat little body will allow Member 265, 4173 posts SQ 222.5, BP 142.5, DL 235 600.0 kgs @ 108kgs UnEq	Thinking about my squats a bit more, I seem to be putting all the weight on the balls of my feet instead of kind of driving through the heals, if that makes sense? When I'm able to squat again properly, I think I will drop the weight and concentrate on driving it up properly instead of rushing it and thus losing it! On the injury front, well this morning was really quite bad, so I strapped it up and put on some tight cycle shorts for extra support. Climbing in and out of the van was difficult and carrying cylinders into peoples houses and especially upstairs was painful. However, as the day wore on it eased slightly, and now I'm home, I can actually walk up the stairs properly instead of one at a time. Still pulls with each step, but it is an improvement ans thats what matters!

Actually it might be an idea for Finch to post up that vid if he still has it? It looked like I almost ran to re-rack the bar - mind you, it did fcukin hurt! Are you about Finch? Or am I too late mate?

as deep as his fat little body will allow Member 265, 4173 posts SQ 222.5, BP 142.5, DL 235 600.0 kgs @ 108kgs UnEq	Just did chest tonight. However, decided to help spot Kevin & Stuart squatting first and then jumped in on the bench with them. Bench: 30x bar 10x 70k 5x 90k (paused) 5x 100k (paused) 3x 110k 3x 110k 1x 120k 1x 125k (New PB) 2x 110k 2x 110k 5x 100k Pleased with that! * Injury update: Inside of thigh very obviously swollen, and bruising is now coming out. Seems to me that it is some sort of tear rather than a pull!
