Added some assistance to my routine. Going to increase my volume, and add upper back assistance & core work on deadlift days, but just core work on row days. The goal is just to increase size and strength. Going to eat clean and increase my calorie intake, but will still be doing a bit of conditioning throughout the week.

Can't seem to find a good bar position for my back squat. It feels fine on warm up sets but once I get to my work set, after the reps my spine where the bar has been resting feels bruised. I've never had this problem before squatting high bar and heavier, so I really need to figure why this is happening and how to solve it. I've been pinching my shoulder blades back and trying to rest the bar on my traps like I did previously but nothing seems to work at the moment.

Kind of fixed the issue with my back squat positioning. I believe it was because I didn't keep my chest up causing the bar to rest on my spine rather than the muscle. We'll see what happens next week.

Overall, good workout, eating lots of good food and getting stronger.

Suffered food poisoning for the past 4 days and still felt a bit sick this morning. Lost 2kg in 4 days, and appetite is basically non-existent at the moment. Wanted to lift yesterday but thought another day rest would do me good.

Came back, felt weak but still managed to continue with progression! Should be back to normal from now.
