I had a bulging disk that I rehabbed myself over the past 2 or 3 months and last week I squatted 500 pain free, this week I planned to squat 545. Hopefully, just as easily and pain free as the 500.

Squat bar x 5 135x5 225x3 315x3 365x2 405x1 455x1 - light wraps 495x1 545x1 easy, pain free rep.

I kept the light wraps on for the last 3 sets. They don't give a whole lot of support, so I felt pretty good about that last squat.

One pro of this injury I can really take away is that it has made me focus on breathing and bracing more than ever!

Accessory work: SS Yoke Bar pause squat 275x3 x5 sets
