Squat day. Sets of 5 all the way to the top set

405x5. Moved decent besides the fatigue that built up to get there. Which was the point I think.

Side note. insomnia, and suppressed appetite are both strongly present, but my mood has increased somehow, and strength is still climbing.

Amazing progress brother. VERY proud of how much you’ve advanced as a squatter!

Thanks bro! Without pillar's help, I'd probably still be beating my head against the wall

No I don't know who Wells is. I did see Huang tear his at the Kern a few months ago.

Nothing too much other than static stretches before, and in between warm ups.

I may have missed it, but how did you injure your adductor?

Also, this log is fantastic.

It's been lingering for a little longer than a month. Most likely just over use from squatting 2-3x a week the past few months, and tendons not adapting quickly enough to the weight/workload. My best guess anyway
