It's still all about me

here is some bar only stuff from today which is a rest day

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcecgSAPIPk

overhead squats show my back rounding / flexibility issues and squats are to a box which I will probably use for a fair while. Johnnie Be Good seemed an apt choice for the Black Comedy that is my training. To be honest right now after this squat debacle I’m a bit flat. :o EVERYTHING seems f*&*&d up with my training!!!

Although in both videos you have the tendency to start going up with your hips first instead of your chest (especially with the heavier loads), I agree that the old form is much better/safer in my eyes! I don’t see any major issues with your knees (?). Overall, use the right loads and technique, simple! I am sure you can feel/see what these are… :slight_smile:

Beautiful morning for a ride :slight_smile:

hows the back

good as gold thanks and has been apart from a minor tweak a few (4-5 :confused:) weeks ago but that only lasted a few days. Achilles has been good as well, will probably start tempo runs this week.
