Crappy Workout

My workout sucked today. I realized something. If I want to increase my squat, I'm going to have to get a stronger back, or switch to a different type of squat. I can probably go higher in weight on my squat, but doing so will put my back at a great risk. So I think I might try zurcher squats.They look a bit easier on the back. Who knows though. Same thing for my deadlift. A friend told me to try a belt, so I might look into that. As for my shoulder press, I went way down. I think it could be because of a bit of a flue. My boss had really sore shoulders, and mine felt quite sore today as well. Maybe that effected it. I'm not sure. I guess I'll see next week.

Anyways, here are my stats for today.

Legs

Hack Squat

10 easy reps- 65 lbs
6 slightly heavier reps- 130 lbs
3 heavier reps- 195 lbs
4-6 heavy reps to failure- 260lbs- 6 reps- had bad form. I could damage my back.
4-6 heavy reps to failure- 220lbs- 7 reps. I could have done way more, but I didn't want to over work my muscles. I'll read more up on it and see what I can do to get more weight on, without breaking my back.

Deadlift

3 heavier reps- 165 lbs
4-6 reps to failure- 220lbs- 8 reps- Could have done way more. Am trying to protect my back. I'll read up on this one as well as see what I can do to get more weight on without damaging my back.
4-6 reps to failure- Felt my back was taking to much, so I skipped this one.

Shoulders

Shoulder Press
10 easy reps- 40 lbs
6 slightly heavier reps- 70 lbs
3 heavier reps- 100 lbs
4-6 reps to failure- 135lbs- 2 reps. Don't understand. I had this done at 6 reps last time.
4-6 reps to failure- 110 lbs- 7 reps. Now it was to light. I think the sore shoulders from whatever bug I have at the moment caused this. Hopefully it'll be better next week.

Abs

Skipped Abs. Was out of time. Don't want to be counterproductive by releasing catabolic hormones.
