I was aiming for a true 5x5 on those squats but I'm happy to have gotten 3 reps. It's the most that I've ever done. To be honest, I wasn't feally all that enthused. Part of me was excited, but part of me was tired, antsy and rushing to get it done. That's never a good mix of emotions. I'm still frustrated that, as usual, it's not my legs that give out but my friggin back. My legs are screaming for more stress. As you can see from the video, they're horribly flabby and they could do with more muscle. But, anyhow....they were able to move 175lbs for 3 reps an my back held out long enough for that as well, so maybe even that's getting stronger - just slowly.
So, about the video - i see that I need to move my hips first coming out of the hole, they're lagging a little behind my chest. The weight shifted slightly coming up, but i expected that. All in all, It's not too bad. I live to fight another day. I was missing my training buddy tonight because Frank had to get a tooth pulled. I missed him tonight :(
You're a little high, so I don't think you're getting the stretch reflex to help you out of the bottom.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I am a little high. I noticed too that I think my stance is a little wide as well. Hip mobility is an issue that I'm constantly working on
