Rest Day

Worst performed Lift: Back squat

Solutions
  • Stop stepping so far away from the rack. When I'm done with a set always feel like I'm a mile away from it.
  • Need to concentrate on more midline stability, I was going about it all wrong as far as stabilizing my midsection/spine.
  • Stop treating the Back squat like the front squat. The front squat was the only squat I could do for a while and I now realize that I need to change the way I go at it.
  • My form with the Back squat sucks. I need to concentrate on "shutting the car door" and loading my hamstrings.
I feel that if I concentrate on these things I will be able to execute this lift without making Wolfman frown, but more importantly without killing myself.

On a side note Zombie thinks that I'm a monster for being able to deadlift 330. It's flattering but when you look at somebody like Josh Everette he weighs 185lbs and can clean and jerk 347lbs, two words come to mind... Holy Shit! This guy is my hero.

The kind of MONSTER I want to be

    good work. if you can get those faults fixed you will be well on your way to a solid back squat. that midline stability series helped. keep reviewing and learning.
