Lighter leg day because I skipped last week and my hip is still tight.

Had a pretty good week of training.  Was sick through the weekend.  Bench went okay, really want to hit 315 for more than 8 but I'll take it for now.  Heavy deadlifts still feel really bad , I think I need to find a way to stay tighter.  Clean and press went really well, I hit a PR of 220 for 3.  Also found out that Pinky's on the rings felt really good for my bench press.  This next 7 week cycle I'm going to stick with that grip for all of my benching and try to hit a good single by the end of it.  Squats felt like poop, but that's to be expected because I missed last week and still have that tight hip.  Which I think might be a pulled psoas muscle but not sure.

I also wrote a new program that's similar to the one I'm running now, but more strength focused with less volume but a higher intensity and frequency for bench and squat.

Pretty good training week.  Bench felt a lot better this week than the last 2, which is good.  Those Arnold presses and DC rows felt amazing too.  Deadlift felt heavy but still hit some good reps.  Clean and press was amazing.  205 for 7 is a PR I think, and I hit an easy single at 230 with just a little slowdown.  Squats were okay.  My right hip is feeling sore today but we will fix it.  I think it might be from the front squats but not sure.

Not a bad week.  Still getting in the swing of things.  Gonna be changing my upper body workouts to look more like Thursday, with 3 supersets to match the 3 exercises for lower body days.  Just trying to really hammer my triceps and shoulders for a while with variations.  My upper body days are going to include some deadbench singles at a joker weight, with 4 sets of close grips afterwards and Arnold presses to give the shoulders some love.  Deadlifts and squats were tough (especially squats) but They performed well this week.  Clean and press felt really strong too.  Excited for the next 10 weeks to be breaking PRs and handling heavy weight for high reps
