Had a successful bench session last night. However, I started it too late so I stayed up too late and was really tired today. Gotta work on making myself start earlier. Also, for the final rep of each and every top set was a battle. I've noticed when I am fighting for a final rep my core starts doing something weird, the muscles feel like they are seizing up, or something.

Last nights training

skipped glute rehab exercise, the soreness must go down a bit first. the accumulated soreness has made it so that I can't even sit on the lacrosse ball with my full weight, even when supporting most of my weight I am making grimaces. Will skip glute rehab tomorrow too and see if Thursday is ok for starting again.

Squats 150kg x 8
easy and no feeling in the glute. energy slowly coming back.

Good for a start. If you just keep doing the lunches and let the habit become ingrained, you're set. One milestone at a time.

Had a good squat session last night and did some curls too. I ended up squatting 8 sets of 5-6 reps at various weights above 295 lbs. My knees are a bit sore but not as sore as I thought they would be after that volume. Sitting in a chair was not fun today as my entire posterior chain is on fire lol Its kinda funny how my squat program is so basic, like caveman level simple, and it just keeps working.

I'm probably doing something wrong, but squats don't make me that sore. Split squats kick my ass at 20 kg though.

Post a vid of you squatting or just do split squats if you dont care about squatting

I just made a fool of myself at the gym trying to impress some 22ish year old chic, ive known for 30+ years that they dont care about how much you can lift but cant help myself, im so cringe

How many times per week are you hitting each body part or major lift? post your split I cant remember seeing it before

Cheers

Only you care. I still haven't internalized that fact and keep going to heavy while losing out on form and gains due to ego. It's like drinking. Intellectually I know it's retarded but hitting PRs gets me motivated even if it's bad form.
