So I learned my lesson, unless completely wiped out, I will just get up early and work out. Thursday Weighed in heavy today, 188 219 days to bring it Morning Occluded walk Lunch Swiss Ball Leg Curl to warm up Deadlift 356, 366, 376, 386, 396x3 401x3, 3 sets 356x6, 2 sets Shrug - controlled tempo with attempt to hold peak contraction on some reps 248.5x20, 2 sets Suspended Bridge Leg Curl BWx15, 2 sets superset with Rear leg elevated split squat BWx12, 2 sets Great workout, hamstrings pumped up and burning at the end. Felt great, it isn't exactly easy (at least for me) to get a hamstring pump. ----- Quick note on the NBA, you can call me the World's Biggest Fairweather Fan: I became a huge Chicago Bulls fan around 1989 when I was 10 years old because I was getting into basketball and, of course, Michael Jordan was amazing. I stopped following the NBA after Jordan's 1998 retirement. After 13 years of not caring, I start paying attention and hear that the Bulls (after dwelling in the cellar of the league for a while) were good again. Then Derrick Rose is announced as the youngest MVP ever, well, I got a little excited and starting watching....I started watching Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals. So I am bad luck I guess, because the Bulls have dropped 3 games in a row since I started watching, lol.

214 days to get massive
Tuesday Started out today on squats, but hip flexor/psoas just wouldn't have it. I have been dealing with this pain for several months now. I've been pushing through it, at times, it has hurt to the point of making my hip feel like it will collapse on squats. I finally decided that the best long term strategy is to avoid exercises that aggravate it...unfortunately, that means squats. But I look at my recent experience with the bench press. Those who read my journal, know that I had pain in my left arm that was severe enough to cause me to stop benching. I did no pressing for several weeks and finally was able to to DB Neutral Close Grip Bench Press. After 4 months of no flat barbell bench pressing, I could finally do it pain free. So, hopefully, it won't take 4 months, but time off from the squat may allow my hip flexor/psoas to finally heal. Squat Step Up 120x5, 2 sets 130x5, 6 sets 140x5, 3 sets 150x5, 2 sets Trying to get a feel for these with a raised bench. I put some boards under my flat bench to get more depth. When my foot was on the bench, my upper leg angle was past parralel to insure a decent ROM. Total height was 22.5 inches, although I may remove 1 board to get it down to 21 inch since my hip was still slightly aggravated by that ROM. Suspended Bridge Leg Curl BWx10, 2 sets

Is it the movement in general or the heavier weight?

That sucks, let's hope it heels quickly and hopefully you can maintain your size in the process.
