I was in the middle of a training cycle to get me to a 200kg squat again, and after having all the volume in and moving to the intensity phase, I hurt myself doing jump robe. I am not really hurt badly, but from time to time while doing a wrong movement I can get a sharp pain through my quad, and it feels unstable in general. And basically when running above ~80% intensity, every step it hurts on the backside, outside of the right knee (so basically not the knee itself). Took 6 weeks off squatting and deadlifting, no difference. Went to the doctor and got electro and physiotherapy, plus stopped all running for 3 weeks, no difference, nor worse nor better. I would really like to kill some puppies now. I feel like a curl-bro when I go to the gym, keeping myself busy with so much upper body stuff. Anyway, today I just squatted again, 100kg 5x5. And of course, so since nothing that I do seems to make a difference, I just keep on squatting now. Just no weights where my technic could break down. And I'll just go to the doctor and try to get him to make a MRT. On the plusside, I broke 110kg bw for the first time (109,8), even though I had a gigantic day of feasting on saturday. 10,8kg to go. Unlikely that Phyre is gonna meet me there in time though, he does not know how to eat  Isn't this the IT band? I think this is why you're supposed to foam roll it to stop it getting tight. But then I don't know anything about this stuff so could be way off. | ||

But then I don't know anything about this stuff so could be way off. Your IT band is going be painful on the side of the knee joint and the pain will go down to the attachment on your shin below the knee and can go up your thigh. The side of the thigh part will feel more like a metal cord when its tight. Killed my cross country season in college. Then I quit XD That's really frustrating to see little improvement after seeing a physio etc. Keep at it Malinor! | ||

The Squat Nemesis Workout - Work up to a max single (that is, a miss) - Drop 30% off the bar and work up slowly to a heavy 3 reps (not a miss, just heavy). Don’t take more than 5 to 10k jumps! You WANT the volume in that mid-range. - Drop to something lightish and do 2 sets of 5 reps. Your only goal is speed out of the hole. These should be rather light for you, like 40% to 65% of max. FAST! Your guys' squats are probably pretty close atm. When i was doing this after my 1RM i usually dropped closer to 20% and hit close to a 3RM | ||

The deadlift injury was just the latest of it's many failures, although I think that was more attributed to bad technique than shitty back, because since I started working out properly it has gotten alot better. I used to not even be able to just stand in one spot for more than a few minutes before it started hurting. I still get cramps in my back whenever I take long walks, but everyone gets that, right? On a related note, I started having chest pains something like 2 years ago, which was the reason I started working out again. Basically my posture had been so shitty for so long, years and years of sitting hunched over at the computer (my diagnosis anyway, never went to a doctor), that I started getting very serious pain somewhere in the middle of my torso. Couldn't really tell whether it was my chest or my back when it was really bad, though mostly it felt like chest. This has also gotten much, much better since I started working out. I still have to lean backwards when I'm at the computer, stand up straight and not tilt my head forwards too much and try to sleep laying straight but it's definitely gotten much better, must be about 6 months now since the last bad one, I've only gotten warnings when I've forgotten to sit correctly or slept on my stomach. | ||

Squat - 1x5 70, 95, 3x3 110 Press - 1x3 40, 50, 57.5, 1x1 65 Deadlift - 1x3 70, 90, 120, 1x2 140, 150kg. I got confused with the weights and used 120kg instead of 110kg and 140kg instead of 130kg. Deadlifting in this gym is a giant hassle, there's hardly any space, and if the gym owner is around he will get annoyed if he thinks you're "throwing the bar". | ||
