Went in to lowbar squat today, but hip pain was a nagging problem. Warmed up extensively, continued on up to 315 but it felt very slow and sloppy, not snappy and clean like it has been. I called it there, stretched my hip flexors out, and went home. I didn’t realize it had already been 5 weeks of this squat routine, so maybe it’s just time for a new setup.

Chose not to pause squat due to the hip pain. The benching felt pretty awful, 215 should have been way easier than this. I’m not sure if my body is burnt out on this plan, or if my work schedule is just messing me.
