February's Training Review
Main concern in February was getting squat form fixed and benching properly, and I'm quite happy to say that I've made some very good progress on this. Squatting feels much better now; back is tighter and better arch, plus sitting back better and holding a deeper breath. Bench is no longer bounced and absolutely no question of getting any "help" as there has been no spotter used so far. A spotter seems to distract me slightly, too.
Regarding the deadlift, I now know for sure that flat soled shoes e.g. deadlift slippers are better for me than Ironworks. The slippers allow for better hamstring and groin tension which helps in keeping the back angle constant until it's time to pull back and shove the hips through, and stops it from rounding as well.
Chins haven't done well, though. Also haven't been that consistent, but I'm not going to be until after this term finishes anyway due to the massive volume of work I've got.
