still rehabbing/re-feeling my way with the squats. i do think it's getting better though. discovered i have/had a real hard-stop impingement in the front of my left ankle that was stopping me like a brick at about 1/4 way down., and in compensation i was myself past that point by unhitching my spine and sticking my bum way out backwards instead. it does make sense, but hard to describe it in a way that makes it sound like it does.

anyway. end result right now is that for the time being i actually have to do my squatting with what feels to me like lumbar flexion right from the top, but is not. i'm still not sorted so taking it extremely slow and keeping it light.

squats: 65lb. i did 5x5 with closed stance, and then after thinking about it for a while another 5x5 with a much more sumo-esque toes-outsy one. so volume if not weight. and i'm going around body-weighting them all over the place during the day, just for muscle-activation feelz.

bench: 70lb. that's not my highest ever which was 75, but that's okay. it's been quite a while since i benched, or feels like it.

rows: 70lb. pre-finger and bike crash i was at 80, but 70 was hard. i took 10 pounds off and did another handful of sets after the working sets because i never want my bench to get out in front of my rows. i'm going to make myself a new rule that on workout a days i have to do my rows first. then, whatever i hit with my rows, my work weight for bench can never ever pass that. i'm serious about not wanting that hands-on-backwards internally-rotated-shouldery thing going on.
