I've been gone for a few days... I may have had a bug or something, I did not feel on top of my game this past weekend. Had some issues with my girlfriend, life problems. Lol, that sounds ridiculous... but I feel renewed this week. My lifts suffered a bit too. But, despite a very lackluster diet, a poor level of motivation, and feeling less than great, I have actually lost a few pounds and my strength is still going up, albeit, not like it was while I was eating lots of food.

BTW, I have a question... I developed an inguinal hernia last year and had to have it surgically repaired. My max squat before I had to quit lifting was 325lbs x5 and my surgeon told me he things that the heavy squats caused the hernia. As I've been approaching this maximum again, I am starting to develop pain again in the same place I developed the hernia. I don't want to re injure myself and have to have another surgery... I don't want to cut out the Squat but I am not sure what to do. I am going to skip legs this week and hopefully I will be feeling better next week.
Do you guys have an opinion about what I should be doing to avoid literally reoppening an old wound?
