So, it's been 10 weeks since I've been able to do squats. Thanks to an old injury flaring up my ankle has been hurting so bad over those few weeks that walking was a bit of a pain but I just kinda sucked it up. Deadlifting hasn't been too bad on it, but even a body weight squat made me want to scream. I kept it kind of easy last night, just to 325 for singles. First one made my ankle made a lovely popping sound that I could hear over the music. That was a bit disturbing but I managed to finish. Today it doesn't feel great but I haven't wanted to scream. Fortunately all the deadlifting and deadlift accessory work I do always hits my hips/glutes/hamstrings so I'm pretty good as far as no soreness in those areas today. I'm disappointed with the weight I used, but since I'm just getting back into the swing I'm trying not to dwell on it. Plus only training for push/pull so it's not like I'd need to have it way up there. However, personally I want to have it way up there. But we'll see...
On an unrelated note, I noticed something at the gym the other night. If your phone is bigger than your arm, don't get an armband to hold your phone for music while you train. That's a fun tip.
