Week 15 - The Squat Comeback.
What a beautiful journey, from here I will put the legs back into a hypertrophy block for a minimum of 10 weeks. I am going to take ~2 weeks off from barbell loading and allow my left erector in my back to heal from the muscular strain that happened around week 10 or 9.
I decided to train through that injury for several reasons, and truthfully I think some people are just too bitch made to make progress because every ache and pain is an excuse to stop. Wahh. The fact is, bumps in the road happen and you've got to learn to train around them or through them. But also don't be dumb... Build in some recovery. During this process I stopped squatting 2x a week and reduced frequency to 1, also removed all deadlifts and increased volume significantly on glutes since I had additional bandwidth to grow other tissues. Find me a bitch that doesn't appreciate a nice ass
lol!
Also, understand your injury, risk factors, and high level basic shit... is it muscular, spinal, tendon, ligament? I assure you, you can train through and around some muscular injuries as long as its not a rupture. Don't be a puss
pain pills exist.
While I shift the legs back into a hypertrophy block I will be increasing the bench intensity.
For context, 575 is my best. So I am very happy with 565 being that this is my first block of training back. Now I know what needs fixing, what needs strengthening, and time to get to work and bring those up over the next 12-15 weeks.
545- Beating last week by +10lbs
565- failed walkout
Shaky, challenging to stabilize. Will need to fix this. had this issue the other week. Remember?
565- Success
This one deff polished off the back injury. On the way up, i def felt it acutely in that back muscle. but we finished
