Weights felt kinda heavy but form was much better. Controlled the descent and didn’t dump the bar. I used a narrower grip today because narrow grip benching looks cool.

Need to widen my grip a little on the bench, I can’t flair my elbows properly so I’m not locking out like I should be. Used some elbow wraps on the squat and they actually felt pretty good.

did these all high bar, felt pretty good and seemed just as fast as my regular bar placement. And alot better on my elbows. I may try some heavier weight with these to see how it feels.

had some trouble setting the bar on my back nicely. A little fight with the squat but it still went up fine. Maybe because of the early morning training today.

485x1 → went onto toes on the way down

Pissed I missed 545 but it’s there, instead of driving back through the heels at the sticking point I let myself get rounded over. Stupid, and I couldn’t quite gut it out. It’s definately there though. Was planning on working back up to 515 but with 485 I couldn’t sit back and broke at the knees first so I called it for today.

the miss:

Not bad considering I missed 545 a few hours ago. Still a little rounding in the upper/mid back that I need to fix.

Damn son. Your squatting frequency is just insane. Also, might need to reevaluate your safety pins haha.
