Yeah, I haven't done low bar in probably a year.
I decided to play around with wide stance SSB squats for awhile. Need to get some use out of the bar for what it cost.

Ha. Yeah, for sure. It's not necessarily a cheap gym bag item to collect dust.
I'm thinking my issue maybe is from sumo deadlifts? Not sure.. never had this kind of pain before. Lol. It's like a dull pain at the bottom of the hip joint on the outside just below the glute. Only hurts if I externally rotate or if I sweep my leg in.
My hip is usually my right hip and directly on the side like where the joint is. Doing sumo from a deficit really aggravates it.
How long you been pulling sumo? Might just not be used to it yet. I had more problems when I first started.

8 weeks now. Basically when I started this thread was right when I first started doing it.
Well, I think this confirms the strange pain I've never had is from the exercise I've never done. Ha. Makes sense.

Weight today was 184.8
Workout was,
4x8 bent over rows
4x12 pullups
4x8 seated cable rows
4x15 reverse flies
4x10 preacher curls
Figured if my hip needs some rest it probably wouldn't be a good idea to hit those heavy triples on deads today followed by paused squats. Lol. So just skipped them and did a little extra back work and a little extra hip mobility/stretching.
Was considering doing adductor work too. Not sure if it would help or not, so I skipped it for now.

Took a video of squats today. They felt a little goofy, but they moved decent for a "rpe 9" triple. Felt more like a 7.5.

Probably not far off from a 3x bodyweight squat.

I'm pretty sure in wraps I could probably hit about 550ish. So depending on the size of poop I take in the morning I'm about there. Sleeves I'm probably at or just below 500lbs atm.

Getting used to them at 200lbs+ has them feeling pretty easy in the 180s now. Ha.

Really happy with how smooth 545 moved. The last rep looked like a warmup.
