I've had a cold the past few days and didn't workout on Monday. Monday was my anniversary and I spent it either sleeping due to being sick or Christmas shopping with the wife. That didn't win any points with the wife. Chose not to go to the gym because I felt like crap. Yes, I know I can lift while sick, but gave myself this break anyways. Plan is to workout tonight at the local gym since I am busy at work today.
This time off has given me some time to think over my upcoming plans. I have had an issue with good morning my last reps of work set squats. Here is what G4S said about that over on Miles' log:

I plan on doing back extensions, incline situps and planks to help out with this issue. I have had lower back issues in the past due to getting kicked/kneed playing soccer in college and don't want to make it a crippling injury. I will probably stick to a lower weight for my workset for the rest of the month. Thinking maybe 315-325 for non-DL days and 285-295 for DL days. I figure this will give myself time to strengthen areas before I screw something up. Thoughts? Are there better exercises than the ones I mentioned?
