Block 3, Week 5, Day 2 - ME SQ

The only squatting I've done recently is zerchers out of the rack a few weeks ago.  This is because I was focusing my training on deads in preparation for USS Nats before I came to the realization I won't be able to make it to that comp this year (for a variety of reasons).  So I should have expected the travesty of squatting that occurred in my basement today.  That still doesn't make me any happier about it though.

SS Yoke Bar Box Squats

20x65

10x155

6x245

2x3x335 - Repeated because I didn't like the first set.

3x385

1x425 - Either wussed out or sat back too far on the second rep, probably a combo of both.

3x425 - Rough

1x455 - Total garbage

1x385 - Felt a rib or vertebrae shift in my upper back coming up on the 1st rep so I stopped the set.

5x355 - Just like snowflakes, no 2 reps were the same so I stopped squatting here.

Sumo DL/Band Assist Home GHRs

10x135/---

5x225/10xBW minus mini band
----------------------------------------

2x{10x315/10xBW minus micro mini band}

The back of my right knee was increasingly bothering me on each rep of GHRs during my second work set so I just stopped everything here.  Today was a shit training day, but it's the first one I've had in a couple months so I'll take the bad with the good and be strong(er) next time moving forward.
