Front squat: 155*3/10

GHR and Abs for a few

Ok today reeeeeeeeeeeeaallly sucked. I went in motivated and hoping to kick some but, and it was going well with the box squats but went downhill from there. I spend about 6-7 minutes trying to fix the power rack. There was a guy doing shrugs in the other one so I could use that one. What happened is that some tool decided to adjust the pins but didnt lock them into place so one side was jammed into the rack while the other was in a whole at angle. It was weird and difficult to remove which was throwing me out of my groove. Finally I get it to budge and start my GMs I opened with 205 and the bar placement was off and it ended up pinching or bruising my shoulder. Not to mention it felt like a ton of bricks; worked up to 215 for 3, couldnt move 225 for some reason so gave up.

I figured Id make it up on the front squats but I was so thrown off by the GMs and feelings of being weak popped into my head which wasnt productive. I tried fighting through the squats but I was wiped after the 3 sets and unmotivated because a 1-2 reps were with bad form. Already discouraged by the GMs and now moreso because I didnt reach my quat goal I figured there was no way to make it up on the GHR and abs. I was right, I was thinking of how weak my core was and was fed up with the GHR, so after a few I just left.

Needless to say, today was really bad and I hope I never I have a day like this again, it was horrible. Additionally, the radio broke in the gym so I was lifting in dead silence with one guy who was doing more upper body work than I do in a whole week, definately no motivation there. Hopefully next time it will be better.
