I need some motivation. I am not getting to the gym. The gym is a 1/4 mile walk from my spot. I was hitting it hard earlier this year before I hurt my back power cleaning. This open thread is like the Approach Thread. Made to motivate each other.
Rules:
Only post what routine you knocked out today
Note any different techniques you started using
Note the length of your workout, time in and out the gym/routine
Note any gains you made from last week or last month
I have 5 months in country. Mind, body, and soul. I fucked up the 14 months I've already been here. Only real gains I've had were my pull-ups and bench. I have been trying to work my back and arms. Hopefully this thread will get me off the computer and get me to work out before I hit poker up. Appreciate the support.
The cycle of disrespect can start with just an appetizer.

Ha I did the exact same work out yesterday, except I throw in a set of bicep curls, tricep pull downs, and shoulders, plus 2 sets of trap shrugs to round out my routine.

I spent about two hours in the boxing gym today. No weight lifting, but cardio from hell and developing a useful skillset.

@OP: Yeah I experimented with powerlifts and felt something strange in my back, too. So I stopped doing them. Probably my technique was off but there's other useful things I can do instead.

(had more in me today too!)
I've reconstructed the form on my backsquat and am just now getting back into respectable territory. i had gotten my backsquat up to 345 lbs but was doing more of a good morning than anything. so i broke it down and started over with doing a deep, atg, full olympic squat (high bar) and making sure that I get pure hip drive and no good morning action.
I suspect i'll be back up to 300 in about a month or so
