Lower Body Day
Rode to gym, 4.5miles on bicycle
Its a slightly lighter day then last, more volume
Squats
Put sleeves on straight away
Barx5
Wrist Wraps On
60kgx1
Belt on
4x8 70kg , moving a lot quicker than it felt, which is always the case on squats for me, still wasnt hard tbh, moderate just like the program says
Gym was empty so i got a few videos while i can
Deadlift
60kgx3
90kgx1
Belt
100 2x8
Obviously this really lightweight for me, i havent really done a work set under 110kg since before i did 5/3/1. Also i can ofc double overhand this weigh, but i really cba to get the chalk out of my bag for 2 sets lol.
Again, not really heavy weight but if anyone notices anything wrong with the form i appreciate it (:

Both look OK. Try opening your taint more on squats. Drop your butt maybe 10 cm more before you pull and squeeze oranges in your armpits.
Ok, gotcha. With the second point, do u kinda mean not set my back tightness fully until i start decending?
No. I mean once you grip the bar, squeeze oranges in your armpits. Then take your air and brace, then drop your hips.
Great, thats a queue i think you mentioned before and have been using

62.5kgx10, pretty easy weight, didnt have the belt on yet either
belt on
67.5kgx8 again no stress to get that, but it was just a bit fatiuging for the next set.
and i find myself coming across 72.5kg for the 3rd time
6-8 reps, and ofc i only got 6 lel, at first i was a bit bummed, but tbh, after doing some high rep sets before hand, i think its a bit of progression, definetly dont think i could have got another clean rep though.
video for this workout will be combined with next workout as didnt get much footage, so will be up tommorow
