hmm apparently I did get stronger from last week! Might also be because the wrist wraps now allow me to take a nice narrow grip on my squats so I actually have a nice shelf for the bar to rest on. Cardio was **** today. Was gasping after that last set of 4 squats lol. I am slowly turning into a stereotypical powerlifter with **** cardio, always low reps and fat. All I need now is a beard/tattoos.
Think I need to work on my deadlift mobility a bit. I didn't feel like I could get into a good position from a deficit which meant that I was basically doomed to round my back from the start. For some reason it was also hard to keep my supinated arm straight too from the position.
Also I did say that I was gonna do squats yesterday but 1) I was actually sore from walking around a lot up and down Bathwick hill the day before 2) Gonna have to move next weeks Monday session to Sunday so that the weekly schedule isn't disrupted too much from the holidays hence I'd basically increasing my frequency this week from this anyway.
