StrongLifts 5x5 (Part 2) Week 5, Day 1

This was a pretty rough work out. The 85 kg squat is just too damn heavy for me to complete with good form. I got up to the 4th set and then wimped out. I ended up knocking down the weight and finishing it off just to get the work in. I'll try it again on Wednesday.

The Rows are kind of in the same area. I can "sorta" do them, but the form is weak. I need to be able to do a full pull up with elbows bent in order to justify it as "good" and I'm not there yet. I will keep attempting this until I can do it correctly.

Bench is getting tough, but still no failure, probably not even really close until the final set, this means I should have no problems for a couple of weeks I bet and everything else is fine. I did my reverse lunges today with kettle bells instead of with the swift machine. I think it went fine, next time I do lunges it's with the weighted bar however. I guess we'll see if I can balance it correctly or not. I'll be extra careful this time.

Fun story time: I actually shredded my underwear today doing the squats. I was wearing boxers and somehow when I was going down I tore the crotch out of them. I have no fucking idea how I did that. Oh well, they were cheap anyway - off to target tomorrow to buy some more.

I'm feeling okay today. Back pain is diminshing it seems every work out, even after attempting heavier weights. My form must be over all improving and I'm probably toughening up those core muscles as well.
