Week 6
Day 1
Squat 3x5 180lbs
PR
Military Press 3x5,5,4 95lbs
Chinups 3 sets of 6,5,5
I'm sticking to the low bar squat and I've noticed that there is definitely some GMing at the end of the rep. I notice that to complete the rep I'm doing a slight good morning. I'm going to try to focus and just shoot straight up. I'll try to reread Rip's SS on squats. The other thing, a tip from Squat Rx, is trying to imagine a wall in front of me and I can lean forward because of it. In Squat Rx, he actually squat in front of a wall to demonstrate this.
Also for the first time, I haven't completed my reps. The military press was difficult and I couldn't get 5 reps on the last set. Technically it's not stalling and I can keep going up on the weight, but I'll definitely repeat that weight again and will make smaller jumps in weight, 2.5lbs?
