Today was squat / DL day with a very large emphasis on the DL. My body just does not feel good squatting. After 10 reps at 135 and five at 185 I tapped out. I was feeling pain in my left hamstring and my right quad, just above the knee. Although deadlifts tax my entire body, they aren’t as rough on my knees/hips because the leg angles are much less severe.
I brought my lifting straps today, knowing my forearms/grip were pretty hammered from the Eagle Loop work yesterday. I racked up some good numbers, highlighted by 4 pulls at 365 pounds and one for good measure at 385.
