48 kg swings 20 x 5 in 23 mins( PR) BW squats 15 x 10 ( 15 min) pullaparts 3 x 30

 Solo training today at the last minute. Had to do a major attitude adjustment but worked out fine

Actually everything felt good even cardio. almost no back involvement. Could have gone faster but would have sacrificed some bell height

decided to take a different approach to  squats and keep reps lower ( 10s) and add sets. More concentration on technique. like it.Can always speed up rest

165 x 1 x 5, 175 x 1 x 5, 180 x 1 x 3, BW squats 8 x 15(120)

 Switched shoes to the lower heel Adidas

Fixed my left elbow twitch by NOT trying to keep the left elbow in but letting it stay out- this is HUGE as it took all the pressure I've been feeling on it off!

Had to take a generous one inch off the smooth grip

With the lower heel I  can walk feet out in front just a little more and set up under bar






173.3 !

205 x 1 x 5 !!, Floor pushups 3 x 23,single arm band pushdowns band rev curls

 This was decent! first time in forever to do this workout. and, while not perfect reps most were very solid and the last set was the best.

Trying to figure out exactly how far to place my feet in front of bar plus it seems I was tight in my hips as well which made the swing out go forward more than up. 185 was perfect





going to try my black adidas shoe on wednesday

165 X 1 X 3, 175 X 1 X 3, 185 X 1 X 4,BW squats 10 x 12, laterals 4 x 10 12 lbs

 Moved the bar up an inch again

Set my feet directly under the bar then moved them just slightly in front of the bar

kept hips in front on unracking

IT WORKED PERFECTLY

When I fall back I think it's been because I set the feet too far in front on the setup

If they're not in front enough I'm too vertical and the bar gets pushed forward






squats were way stronger and more accessible. the groove felt very natural and smooth
