Workout – 30 December

Today, it started out so well. I got up, had my food and usual pre-workout stuff.

Went to the gym, started warming up. It was squat/leg/lower body day, so I was doing ankle and hip mobility stuff, a few easy sets of GHRs to get going, and my usual warmup with the bar.

Everything went well, hit an easy triple at 120kg (264lbs). Did a double at 140 (308), which was a decent working weight so I figured I’d stay there for today.

Second set, I’m dropping into the hole and that’s when I hear/feel a pop in my left leg, up near the groin in the hamstring or adductor.

I never have to bail on a squat, but this is why I always make sure to keep the rails up. I had to drop a few inches to dump the bar, but fortunately that was the only hangup.

The area is throbbing now, with a little discoloration. Fortunately I’ve got some recovery methods that will help this out, but man…nothing like adding a new injury to the repertoire. Especially with a weight that’s not even challenging.

I’m getting too old for this crap without any equipment.
