One of those annoying days where I'm warming up squatting thinking 'hey my squat form is pretty good today I should be able to do a big weight' then I just completely **** up the top set and leave myself tired for the rest of the workout ¬¬
Think I've worked out what's wrong with my squat. Been carrying the bar too low for some reason. Felt much better today but I need to get used to heavy weights again with the new form.
Despite being tired as **** from working all day for the past week inc doing long f'ing walks I wanted to yolo deads. Didn't end well. Was ambitious going for 270kg considering how 255 went but at least I got it to knee level I guess. Also weighed ~104kg today.
Gonna deload everything as I've kind of slipped back into a depressive state again + quite weak atm. Gonna start bumping up calories a tad in a couple weeks so I don't keep losing weight. I feel so trim.
Will be doing trying few changes over the next few weeks
- new exercises e.g. the belted pause squats today - switching back to old squat shoes as they seem to feel a lot better - Gonna try to utilise lower RPEs. Feel like I can't get much volume done and also burn out faster with higher RPEs.
Keep your chin up Jason I still think you should compete in a local meet, being with a big group of competitive lifters might spur you on and get you focused
