Left adductor pain and a terrible schedule the past few, and upcoming, weeks have led me to admit that I haven't really been doing the program successfully for a couple of weeks and won't be able to really follow it for a month or so upcoming. I'm stuck trying to formulate a sort of "maintenance" block.
Failed pretty hard on I.D. last week and then couldn't get back into the gym because of Memorial Day schedule. Left adductor is killing me (appointment with my P.T. tomorrow) so I went with the "middle day" programmed weights. I also started playing around with moving my stance in a little bit as I saw some stuff on the SS forum about narrowing stance and switch to squat shoes helping with this issue. Felt maybe a little better in the session and probably helped depth the most. Walking with a limp the next day because of adductor pain. Video of 3rd set shown.
Because of the adductor pain, I also move my feet in on bench, and used the same middle day weights as last time. While the leg still hurt, the weight itself felt very easy. Possibly a stronger foot placement for this lift? Last set shown.
Chin-ups were okay. One more rep and set than last week. That's pretty normal for the ebb-and-flow of this movement, but at the same time doesn't feel much like progress.
I failed to get 10 reps on the 3rd set of pull-downs last time so repeated the weight and got all the reps. Will move up next week.
Also managed to get to 12 reps on both sets of curls, so will add weight.
