Day 25 - Frustration

Workout A

  • Squat 305 pounds 2x5, skipped the last set because of poor form
  • Bench Press 220 pounds 3x5
  • Barbell Row 190 pounds 3x5
I recorded my second squat set today and was not happy with what I saw. The weights were leaning to the left, I had significant butt wink at the bottom, and my hips were shifted to one side. Even I completed all of the reps, I think I'm just asking for trouble if I keep adding weight at this point. I've been high-bar squatting until my shoulder mobility allows me to do low-bar squats. This session shows me that I need to change something, whether I finally try low-bar or drop the weight, so that I don't hurt myself. In November 2018, I pulled my right groin on a set of squats and I'm pretty sure my form then was similar to my form now. Pushing forward with more weight or even the same weight doesn't make sense because any injury due to poor form will only set me back.
