Squat: 3x5x88
Mil.Press: 3x5x88
Pen.Row: 3x5x88

Additional: Nothing


My squat form was better for the first set. Instead of over thinking during the rep I tried "just doing it" and that seemed to work at first. But during the second set I lost balance while in the hole and had to let go of the bar with one hand and grab onto the rack so I wouldn't fall on my ass. I kept the bar on my back though, and after regaining balance, finished the lift. That probably took some energy out of me and the last set wasn't very good.

The press was taxing but I finished it with decent form imo so I'm gonna ramp up next time. It's pretty comical that I'm overhead pressing the same amount that I am squatting.

The rows are pretty easy at 88. I'll probably stay there though cause my back is still [censored] up.

As per advice I stuck to the program and did no additionals. While walking to the locker room after my stretches I was full of energy and felt like I could do 3-6 more sets. I'll start adding HIIT or squash on my off days soon when my back starts feeling a little better. (I've been doing zero cardio since I got injured and I'd like to see more results).
