Awesome Squatterday, with a Side of Angry Coccyx!!
This was a good day, overall. Squats went well and I felt stronger than before the deload. On the Split Squats, I started light because I haven't done them in a while. 155 was easy, so I jumped to 185 and it felt just right - nice and explosive, reasonably challenging... Second set of 185, I had this pain like my tailbone was trying to escape. Sharp, hot pain. I adjusted my footing and it subsided, till the very last rep of the very last set... OW!!! I experienced this once during DB Lunges, but just once and then it went away. I chose to go lighter on RDL's, Back Extensions and Calf Raises, in order to feel them out better and get more of a squeeze at the top. Good move, those were some decent sets and also left me less fatigued the next day. After all, I'm not entering a Back Extension Contest...... Going heavier on the Shovel Deads will carry over more to traditional Deads with real weight, I imagine. That's all I've got to say about that, done!!!!
