I was pressed for time today but I still wanted to get a workout in. The plan was to take it easy on squats and only do my warm ups and then one set of 175 x 5. I got it done, but on the 3rd rep my lower back gave out again. Ugh. I need to figure this out; is it form, or is my lower back just not strong enough? I'm going to do some diligent foam rolling this week and I won't do squats or deadlifts for at least a week. It doesn't hurt as much as it did last Thursday, but I want to be very careful and not make this a recurring thing. Perhaps I'll start at a much lower weight, like 155, to correct form issues and work my way back up again? We'll see, I need to do some research...
Bench went well. I think I had the last rep of set #3 in me, but without a spotter I didn't want to try. I'm content trying again next session. I added in a third set of dips this time and pretty easily got all 8 reps. 9 reps next time.
Deadlifts and crunches were skipped due to time constraints, but I wouldn't have done them due to the back pain anyway.
