The squat video with a 5 second tempo

44

No specific reason , i think i just learnt it that way

45

Try moving the bar a bit lower down your back. Also try hard to avoid cocking your wrists back like that. Itā€™s a recipe for painful elbows down the track.

46

Sure okay , will make those changes

I would try starting each set from the rack position and returning there for each rep, like I do here

Once the weight gets heavy, trying to pause it and unrack it from that height is going to get dicey.

Okay , will try to do it

Progress looks good. Eat up and keep doing what youā€™re doing.

Once you get a little more acclimated with the SL 5x5 stuff, def try 5/3/1. My fave is BBB version

Umm , it looks a bit confusing , i have a lot of questions about it

And also SL 5x5 was my go to program mainly because of its app which makes the workout very easy because it calculates everything

55

There are tons of online spreadsheets for 531ā€¦ Iā€™m sure they have apps too.

Make sure you read the 5/3/1 article too

Itā€™s not bad.

The pad makes the bar wobble more, so consider ditching it. Makes life harder for you.

Open your groin to go down and come up.

Okay , will keep that in mind

Have tried many times to do it without the bar pad , but it causes discomfort and my mind is entirely there and i spoil the workout at hand
