EXP 22 Pay the TaxMan in Squats - Apr 15

Buy in
3x10
Extensions @ 200
Leg curl @ 110
5 mins.

...leg curls still feel like the knife behind the right knee.

Squat
Rx: 5x5 or 3x5 at
230/250/270/285/305
Actual: barx10/135x10/185x7/225x5/245x5/275x5 (form broke down here)/225x5
16 mins.

Back squat just doesn't feel right at all. I hindu stretched easily between sets, but put any weight on my back and everything just locks up. Anyway, opted for form rather than going with the posted loads and doing idiot reps.

PS. This note from the day after. Woke up and hobbled about, my vastus medialis was locked up, not from overwork from the light-low volume extensions, but from straining to keep my ACL in position(?). I'm thinking of hi-bar squats and front squats only for the duration of this EXP cycle. I believe in the back squat, but low bar is not agreeing with me.

Cash out
Standing Calf x10 @ 225/240/255
