My lower back is toast. My deload sets of 170 lbs for squats seemed tough and were borderline Charles Barkley "turrible". I didn't even attempt to do 270 on my deadlift set because my lower back felt so fatigued. It definitely needs some intense recovery time (partial oxymoron?); I was stiff and sore all night. I feel as if I may need a spotter next time I do bench, but we'll see. As this was my last workout of the week, I added in barbell curls and skullcrushers, as perscribed in the program after a couple months, to get some direct arm work in and increase volume. I'll need to add more weight to the skullcrushers next time, but 65 is a good point to start for curls. I'll increase 1 rep per session with those two exercises until 12 reps for both sets are performed, then increase the weight 10% and start back at 8 reps.
I may take an extra day of rest this coming week, depending on how the back feels. We shall see.
