Lolz Andy, I Shattered it! Thanks Sindie, I really need to be more consistent with my squatting. I’m just now getting over DOMS from that workout lol. I’m gonna squat every week consistently for sure again. I think mainly focusing on overhead squats and backsquats.
After going through that workshop, I’m all paranoid that I have all these imbalances and my glutes aren’t firing and ladeelala, but maybe its just some sort of weird training related hypochondria. I should take some videos and post em next time I get in a squat or deadlift day YA good idea!
lawls for hilarious imagery. No, I am pretty sure my squat form is beyond impeccable…maybe even a little bit too fussy at this point. The same can’t be said about my deadlift though…The only way we will know for sure is through video evidence. Vids pending.
I wonder though, is it absolutely essential that I deadlift? Can’t I just squat twice a week instead of deadlifting and squatting. Anyone, thoughts on this?
do whatever makes you happy if you lift to make you happy. if you want to compete, then deadlift yes you must.
but who cares? if you don’t wanna deadlift don’t! I’m not really into the “do what you hate it’ll give you character” --you know by now if you need to build certain areas up. so fuck that! For me its about being happy, and smart…and not being ridiculous about things …or do things that lead me to be ridiculous.
lol that did come off a bit whiny dint it? In the past deadlifts always left my body, knees especially, feeling all shitty so I came to the conclusion I’m more bio-mechanically advantaged for squats than deadlifts; but, when I really try to get objective about it, I have to admit it was primarily a form issue, not a bio-mechanics problem. Anyway, I did deadlift today actually, and it felt really great. I also think I identified the form issue I’d been having…
135x5
155x5
165x5
175x5
185x5
On the very last rep of my last set, I noticed my left knee buckling a little. Knee buckling on deadlifts??? What weirdness is that? Alas, I would never have noticed had I not slowed my shit down, backed off the weight, and did each rep as a DEAD lift, fully standing and resetting between reps. Well, now I know the problem. I think it just may happen when I get fatigued so I have to know when to hold back in the future
barbell press, again, for form
barx5
65x5
75x5x5
Wooooaah, I think I ate way too much fiber today. Is there such a thing, too much fiber?? I feel like I have a tree’s worth of bark in my digestive system.
