Overall not a bad day. Wanted to work up higher on squat but still need technique work and some GPP since the extra volume seemed to have an effect. I'm normally at 405 in about 6 or 8 reps after warm up which is stupid. SSB was really throwing me forward on the last couple of sets and my back felt like I was getting stabbed so hopefully that helps with some weak points. I never felt like I was sitting back well enough. Same old story on my squat technique. Im gonna try this bar for a few weeks and see if it helps. Shoulders and elbows are screaming today for some reason which is the other reason for the SSB. Note to self: try to position bar further back onto traps so you dont squat-morning everything over 80%. Added a little weight to what I normally GM, that was good, but still WAAAAAY too weak for my size.
