Felt a little stomach sickness this morning, but still did the workout. Felt OK, but definitely not great.
Squats 5x5 @ 110lb
Points to consider
- The safety pins were already setup and low enough to be out of my way so I just left them alone as I assumed that I'd have no trouble squatting this weight. Should I just get in the habit of always setting them up?
- Not feeling lower back pain, but there is some stiffness. I continue to stretch.
Overhead press 5x5 @ 65lb
Points to consider
- Dropped weight back to 65lb in an effort to focus on form and be careful to my neck. Very little to no pain/stiffness today and none, even now, 2h after the workout.
- When bringing the bar back down, it's way out in front of my face and a little too uncontrolled.
- Gripping the bar a bit wider now: about 2" in from the end of the knurling.
- Getting the bar really on the heel of my palm and keeping my palm flatter seemed to really help. Did not get a vid, but my 5th set felt the best.
- Concentrating on keeping glutes and abs really tight seemed to help add stability.
Deadlift 5x5 @ 150lb
Points to consider
- Now starting to notice the weight
- Try to stay tighter on the way down too?
