Doing upper/lower this week and the next. I'll probably squat and bench 4x a week to get the CNS gains back quick. 2 heavy days and 2 light days working up to a single at 90%. May even do more on my last day of squats before resting up for the weekend, like 5x3 at 85% or something. I respond very well to high frequency. I should get my gains back quickly in these two lifts.

holy fuck time to get back on track. the guy who lets me into the Y for free was out for a while. starting today:

- 150g protein a day, minimum
- 5g creatine a day, minimum
- take my fish oil daily
- time to force myself to get 8hrs of sleep or more
- no more sugary drinks. only milk, water, or unsweetened tea

probably going to stick with the 2 day a week full body routine. might switch it up and go 4 day upper/lower every now and then. all depends on how im feeling and what my schedules like.

Will fast tuesday, wednesday, friday, and tuesday the week after. that'll be all of my make up days. not fasting on workout days or weekends.

After that, i'll be back on creatine and i'll be sure to get 150g of protein or more per day. ive been skimping on that a lot.

Will finish up workout tomorrow.

Glad I could squat today!!! It was pain free, but slightly uncomfortable and I didn't even foam roll glutes or IT bands. I am recovering wayyy faster than I thought I would, considering how painful it was when I got injured. Especially the morning after when I couldn't put my socks on. I couldn't even wash my face in the bathroom because I couldn't bend over towards the sink.

Ramadan's over. I'm going to make up my 4 days of fasting that I missed though. I'll do it mon-thu next week. After that I'll be taking creatine again. I haven't taken creatine in a few months. I hope to bust through my plateau soon!

I was so pissed. Like 6 weeks ago I slightly pulled something in my lower back towards the right side while jumping. I was going up for a 360 rim grab. It wasn't bad though. This day while squatting, I went ATG on 275 (warm up set) but lost tightness at the bottom and went way too low due to butt wink. Stretches out the lumbar... pulled a lower back muscle. I was able to squat the weight back up. But man it hurt. Then I tried squatting 135... nope. I was so pissed. I thought I'd be done squatting for a month. The next day in the morning I couldn't even put my socks on. My dad did it for me. Wow.

Finished up yesterday's workout.

Back felt better by the time I lifted. Pendlay rows were pain free but slightly uncomfortable. Couldn't do cable crunches pain free so I said screw that. Did bent leg raises instead.

Foam rolled my glutes and IT bands. Gave me immediate pain relief (not 100% relief but it made a difference). I realized I haven't foam rolled them in months.

I'm about two thirds of the way through Ramadan. I missed three days of fasting though. I'll make them up next month.

I don't expect to make any PR's really until Ramadan has been over for a week or so. Still, they come to me every now and then :)

Didn't do abs. Lat machine pulldown crunches suck. I'll try it on another machine. I'll try some shit.

Started lifting at 8:00pm. Finished squatting and broke my fast at 8:32pm with water. Forgot to bring my meal with me to the gym... finished lifting at 10:15pm or so. Damn! Wasn't even so bad. It's mostly mental tbh :)

Did not get enough calories though. Definitely going to eat up this weekend!
