Squats

Recently my left side sciatic nerve has been causing me a decent amount of pain first thing in the morning. I'm sure it's caused by a combination of training, my bodyweight and sleeping on my side. I've been putting a pillow between my legs when sleeping which seems to be the cure. For now. Long term I need to lose some weight. I'm trying. I skipped Deadlifts last week to rest a little and didn't expect wonders from today's training. However, it went alright. 

Stationary Bike - 10 minutes. 

Leg Swings and Dynamic Stretches. 

Thoracic Extensions - 3 sets/12 reps.

Squats - 2 sets/12 reps/bar, 135lbs/10 reps, (belt) 225lbs/8 reps, 275lbs/6 reps, 295lbs/6 reps, (knee sleeves) 315lbs/6 reps, 335lbs/6 reps, 355lbs/4 reps, 375lbs/2 + 2 reps.

(315lbs)

(375lbs)

(375lbs)

Static Stretches. 

Dead Bugs with Stability Ball - 4 sets/12, 12, 16, 20 reps.


All-in-all it was ok. I didn't feel strong but the weight moved pretty good as per the videos. Weight loss is going alright. On Sunday I weighed myself at work. 162kg. That's another kg down. Let's keep going.
