I mentioned last time I wasn't pleased with how lifting was going. I'm trying out stuff to see if that works. Might avoid training upper body until Tuesday to see if that will be enough rest and perhaps give me enough time to sort my ideas. I'm hoping the shoulder stuff is related more to my cold than something wrong with my shoulders.

Comments: Decided to do something I wanted to do. Only done reverse band box squats before and it was to a lower box and for singles. Really surprised how much a 3" difference makes in the bands, 15lbs less assistance. Other than being surprised on some sets unracking the weight, these went well. Besides the sets with 455lbs. First set it felt like I was being crushed and couldn't breathe, got one rep and then stapled on the second. Managed a double on my second attempt but breathing was still rough. Did a down set but just did reps until I felt my form start to break. Step-ups went well this time, learned from the previous workout. Glute ham raises continue to improve but I have a feeling I'll be keeping them as a bodyweight exercise like pull-ups.
