Had to fit my workout in between a split shift I had to work today, but still got a good workout in. I'm almost out of protein powder! I think I'm gonna buy a mass gaining suplement instead of just whey protein this time.

Thanks for support guys!

I'm not gonna lie, It was pay day yesterday and went out to the bar with a friend of mine. We got pretty drunk and ended up crashing a his place.. Of course I wake up feeling like sh!t and missed a workout today. Gonna try to make up today on Saturday (tomorrow) and restart my schedule; Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday.

Eat, drink, recover and smash it tomorrow. It is not the man who stumbles that fails, but the one that allows his stumble to pull him off course.

I been noticing the last week or so, I been getting a soreness on the right side of my hip. Kind of more, inner groin area when doing Squats. I dont know if I'm using more of my right leg to help me drive the weight up or maybe I'm leaning a little forward cause I been adding weight... I should probably listen to my body and drop a little weight and check my form. Not sure if anyone else had something similar happen to them?

Front Squat
1x5x100
1x5x135
3x5x135
*I been doing front squats by getting under the bar with my shoulders and crossing my arms. I've tried the Olympic style front squat with just a barbell and it does not feel comfortable to me. It sounds like either style is okay from what I been reading.

Bent-Over Barbell Rows
1x5x70
1x5x80
3x5x90
*I do more of a Pendlay style row, knees bent, head up and back paralle to the floor.

Military Press
1x5x60
1x5x70
1x5x80

Deadlift
1x5x135
1x5x175
1x3x205

Other than that had a good workout. Felt exhasusted afterwards.

I used to get a similar issue when I would open my knees too much at the top to squats. It baffled me for quite some time. Can't say this is your issue.

How wide is your stance? I would perhaps pull it in an inch on each side and see if it helps.

Wouldn't hurt to get a video up either and let us take a look.

My stance is a little wider than shoulder width, maybe a little more somtimes. I have been recently focusing on pushing my knees out when driving up, so they dont buckle in. I could be opening my knees out too much as you mentioned. I don't really have a way to record myself at the moment, but possible... I'll be doing back squats tomorrow, I'll start out light and work my way up and focus on form.
