Max 10/24 Squat

Warmed up to a triple at 225, before Nick Loporchio told me to stop it and got me lunging for sets of 10 at less than a plate. He told me to sit back when I did them, and I got the strangest sensation, like I couldn't feel what was providing the upward force on the lunges. I told Nick, and his diagnosis for my growing list of personal problems is that I have inactive glutes, which probably led to the back and hip and leg problems, and need to do a lot of glute activation work and I'll be hopefully squatting again in a few weeks. I was also told that my squat wouldn't lose its strength in this time, but I have my doubts. The hip is really painful again, though not as bad as it was on Thursday, so hopefully I didn't make it any worse.

I'm really not excited to be not-squatting and not-deadlifting for the next few weeks, but I'll do what I have to.
