So after some time off, it seems the LCL was just a minor tear or perhaps some inflammation. But I've been in no rush to start squatting at all. In the meantime I've set some conventomnal deadlift PR's

330x3
335x3
310 5x5

gonna go for 355 or 360 single soonish

brehs this machine is a godsend deadlift assistance. It puts you in the same angle as a deadlift and you can hammer out as much volume as you want without any axial loading and the risk of form breakdown is much lower. I am enjoying these a lot more than good mornings. Let's see if incorporating this exercise has carryover to my deadlifts.

Started doing 72 hour water fasts. Mostly drinking leaf green tea and the results have been incredible.

Doing intermittent fasting to lose weight.
3-4 days a week, I skip dinner. Most people telling me that skipping breakfast is easier, but if I show up to work with low blood sugar, there'll probably be an international incident on the news by noon.
Seems like it helps to think of fasting pains as the same kind of pain one gets when working out. It's effort toward a goal.

IF isn't about skipping meals, it's about setting a time frame on your eating

I'm putting an 18-hour gap in my eating. I don't eat after 14:00, and eat breakfast at 08:00 -- Is that what you mean?

No. I mean you said 3-4 days a week you skip dinner, which has nothing to do with IF. If your gap is 18 hours, you should have all of your meals in those remaining 6 hours, not skipping meals.

Okay, let me rephrase that: I eat breakfast at 08:00, then make sure I eat by 13:00 and finish by 14:00. That's the 6 hours in which I eat.

So, I decided that I got bored with just completely winging it in the gym for so long, and decided to try 5/3/1. 

Its been three months, aaaand so far I really like it.  I had no idea that in its core, it was so low-volume.  Leaves me with enough energy for cardio and hockey (and jiu jitsu once I get my busy, procrastinating butt back into it.  Haven’t got into a club since I moved last November.  :-\ )

Makes me kick myself for not jumping on the 5/3/1 train years ago.

I’m not expecting to be setting any landmark PRs, but I would like to see if I can match the PRs I hit when I weighed almost 200lbs, while weighing sub-190lbs now.

Feels weird only doing each of the major lifts once a week though.  Just feels wrong only squatting once a week.  :lol

Jim Wendler is def about leaving some in the tank. That's also why I love that programming. The oy danger is it's easy to keep adding accessory lifts due to this and burning out (what happens with me).

I'm currently trying to jump start my diet again. Currently getting into green smoothies as a way to make sure my micronutrients are on point. Had no idea I didn't have to chew through a shitload of spinach. My macro setup is low carb but with the addition of these green smoothies.

Tried out renegade rows. What a weirdly satisfying exercise.
My core feels stimulated all over, I'm sore in sides where I didn't know it was possible, good shit.

I’m starting to plateau a bit on 5/3/1. 

Not sure if it’s because I’m not allowing myself to bulk up, and am keeping myself at a ceiling of 192lbs, or if maybe it’s the limitations of age starting to show.

But not hitting my target reps on squats about half of the time lately.  Deadlifts are still going fine for now though.  OHP progress has completely flatlined.

First workout in 8 days after the holidays.  Was wondering if it would result in a good performance due to being rested, or a bad one because of the layoff.

Today was a squat day, program called for 5 reps at 320.

I struggled to complete 2 reps.  Fuuuuuck.  >:(

Update: ohhhh ya, DOMS got me walking around like a 90-year old man today.  Stairs are the enemy.

Even though it was 8 days since my last workout, I think it was a full 2-2.5 weeks since I last did squats.  So that may explain the whack performance a bit.  But still frustrating.

What auxiliary and corrective exercises do you guys include?
Over time I find I just keep accumulating more and more, from what I've read and viewed.

Rotatory external rots and raise, lower trap, hip flexors, and so on... Gets messy.
