Good session. Bench moved well, squats were tough though. Quad pump after the session tonight was off the chart. Felt good.
Top set was slow but didn’t screw my back like last week!! The rest were fine.

Good session. Reduced the squat work tonight to give the legs some more recovery but everything else was to plan.
I just had a look at your IG videos mate. It looks to me like you kick the bar away from you when you drop your hips, which seems to throw your pull off to a degree. Maybe try standing slightly further away from the bar to avoid unnecessarily hard contact with your shins before you pull and be a little more patient.
I have never noticed that before. Thanks so much. I will deff try and stand a little further back next week. I love it when people see something you don’t. Quality
Yes mate I still speak to him on face book. His mum passed last year and he is now renovating her house. Full tear down and rebuild job. He is still training a little too. He is well mate. I will say hello to both of them from you next time I message them.
That’s good too! I hope the renovations are exciting and go smoothly. New construction can be so fun and invigorating , but dealing with contractors get stressful.
