Could be taking your quads out of it...especially if you GM'd it up.

But just because it felt like it was cos your legs, doesn't mean that was the cause.

Like how an injury might manifest itself somewhere but the root might be further up/downstream

Yeah. I'd say your squat is either broken or you have squat AIDS.

Coach messaged to say there's inhouse testing on saturday. for once, i had to say no. There is also an abs one in february that i might think about - but it's only 12 weeks off. lifting feels like more of a chore lately so if i am not motivated or excited enough about it i won't sign up, i'll leave it til summer
