Pretty good press day, missed the 11th rep at 225 by just a hair, surprised by that as my triceps tend to be strong and I usually miss it off my chest as opposed to near lock out, ah well, happy with 10. Hamstring is coming out of it, walking normally, did a bunch of body weight squats to different depths to see if anything would bug me, nothing did, seems to be low enough on my hamstring (really almost at the back of my knee) that it doesn’t seem to have much effect on my squats, no twinge, tentatively planning on squatting tomorrow (at least hit the minimums depending on how it feels under weight, otherwise I will go heavy with accessory style stimulation of the quad on that side and whole leg on the right) it really only hurts when I pull “through” my heel as in a hamstring curl motion. Such is life.
Got my order of Plazma, Mag 10, and Brain Candy yesterday, that was the only thing that really changed with my diet (taking Plazma out) with this weight drop, so we will see how this goes, but had a great pump today with reintroducing it, looking forward to seeing how Mag-10 works because I really throttled my chest and triceps today.
Critiques of anything and everything are always welcome,
