Been having a lot of bcaa's lately in powder form in crystal light all day long... I originally got the crystal light for general hydration, then started to add in bcaa's, and it's just been much much easier to stay consistent, and I can usually have about 25-35g a day in powder form, that was like $40 for way over a ton of it, and I'm actually starting to feel recovered a bit, still a lot of general fatigue, but nothing seriously spasming currently, and for me that's a good sign. Today was very tight, just in the quads, that I'm seeing was probably one of the reasons I couldn't seem to stay upright today, and just felt out of position, strong in that position, but felt much tighter more upright. Today I was really practicing meet conditions, where I just tried to feel my way through the lift. This is what I do at at a meet, and just sorta force myself to not think about too much. I've had questionable results at meets for sure in terms of form or weights, but I'll generally get my attempts at meets regardless of what weighst I chose... so I keep doing it. I've pulled my hood a up a bit and not having peripherals is something I've enjoyed getting more used to... I've in general felt off balance at meets, and I typically lose my perhiperal vision when I know I'm aroused enough to hit limit weights... anything less, and I generally can't. However, during the WSP, I lost my peripherals most days just due to how horrible I felt, which in general made maxing out a breeze, and I think is something people are used to or they have to develop it. I realize i'm trying to justify squatting with my hood up today... I think it's kinda retarded, I promise I won't do it longer than I feel I need to. lol.
Back squat
315x2?
365x1
405x1 - very very sore quads still
425x1 - felt good about my core strength after this I'm going to be making sure I'm getting my torso as strong as possible for this one.
455- shifted my weight in the hole to my right side, slight enough for the rep to be slower than it should have been, nothing serious. continue
475- this was a smooth grind, strained extremely hard to keep proper technique, was very balanced all over, got a bit on my toes, but maintained balance and position. Very happy with that rep, but too much strain to contine, and in gneral got overpsyched. I find it good to practice a lot in that state, as that helps to build meet confidence I find.
435- sat back a bit too much, made the squat seem harder than it should have been, looked smooth.
435- lost technique, pithced forward, sat back way too much, needed to stay more upright, this is a minor thing on video, but I felt all over the place.
405- couple singles, just made sure I could keep my form
365x2 - felt fine
315x2 - felt fine
Face pulls 75 total reps
hyperextension - 75 total reps
- these should help keep my hips a bit looser, my chiro dimitri recomended them, and I find the moer volume I can do with them, the looser my hips get as well as my pelvic tilt seems to be affected as well.. and my shoulder flexibiltiy keeps getting better as I keep getting my upper back tighter... sometimes I do get some really annoying spasms, but over my posture has really improved since I let that happen.
Good sessoin, Eric hit a 335 single no grind, then did some downsets of singles working on form. Jordan did a pile of singles with me with chains, he'd ironing out his imbalances, and as he loosens his hips and shoulders, he's able to keep much better position overall... soon his posture will start to improve even more, then look out. Cameron just did a general light day... which is harder than it looks, even when he makes it look easy. Andrew and Jeremy both were hitting good singles. We were very spread out tonite, rack wise, but everyone did a good job commincating. Dash did some great looking pulls at 80%, he typically maxes on pulls a few times a week, but isn't going over 80% on them until after... I think after the meet he stop going so heavy on pulls, i'm interested in seeing what happens, I think he's going to recover so much, he'll smash all his chosen weights. Megan had a challenging night, but rolled tight on through it. Good training session, everyone was very focused and working together well.
