Training Day One Hundred Sixty Three

Been a pretty calm and quiet day today. I changed my diet yesterday, which meant that I had to go grocery shopping this morning. I also took the opportunity to buy some new lunch boxes that are slightly smaller in size since I don't have that much room in my bags. Other than that, today has been spent taking care of University related stuff. Nothing fancy, just the ordinary life back home in Sweden.

# Workout Notes:
This workout turned out to be a horrible one. Firstly, I decided to change the initial Barbell Squat To A Bench into simply Squats. On the 6th set I went deep and felt a tremendous lower back pain. That resulted in me not even getting a 90 degree angle in the upcoming sets. I decided that it'd have to do for the time being. The Leg Extensions as well as the Cable Crunches were affected by the back pain. During the Cable Crunches I even forgot the amount of reps that I should be doing, hence, I went up to 12 reps on the second set instead of sticking to the 8 reps that I intended. Things simply didn't work. Right now I'm still feeling the pain and I will definitely scrap squats - or at least do them with a belt - until I've fully recovered from this.
