Felt better, more smoother and one movement out of the hole compared to feeling like I shift forward to find thst spot. Squat groove is never perfect so need to try a few things. Main problem is knew pain and just awkward feels. Back and and hips are feeling all fucked today, not sure why really.

Some back pain and really sore lower abs ? Didn't complete this sessiOn or do it correctly. I'm going to recover another day and redo the session (squat 5x5/bench AMRAP) then have 2 days off in Phillip Island. I think knee sleeves are the greatest thing out there. Personly I prob can't live without them in the squat rack. Mind games? Or have become reliant? Anyway they feel so good. I usually put them on 140+ Squat moved well, but overall one of the poorest sessions in a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monarchking 126 Report post Posted January 19, 2017 Lower back is all messed up. Haven't been injured really for a while, but it's annouying. Not major, but I'll have a few days off and reassess. Ive picked out two 3 lift competions. CAPO ANZAC DAY APRIL 25 WRFP VIC STATES JUNE 17 Both are within 7 weeks of each other so that's handy as it suits my scheduling well. Domt know much about WRPF but @maccaz could probably chime in. It will be held at slaughterhouse gym so I know there's going to be loud metal music and lots of face and back slaps going around. On paper a 600 total is achievable, but obviously putting that into place is another story. This back issue shouldn't hang around, and I kinda know why it's there ?
