Huge breakthrough this week on my squats. I've known something was really wrong with my squat form for months because my lower back would hurt like the second I got under the bar...and progress has been at a standstill because of it.
I figured it out this week and instantly no pain. Can't wait to start progressing again!0 -
Inquiring minds want to know!
What was it?
Now, if it was like the little lady that had stabbing pain around her mid-section, and used as her weight belt her big dog's choke collar - might not want to mention that.0 -

^^^That can't be real.
I was loading the bar on my back wrong - wrong position and I wasn't holding my arms in the right position. I am not sure what was happening anatomically speaking - but my lower back was stressed from it.0 -
Today was the last day of a peaking cycle for a meet that ended up being sold out (testing 1rm next week instead). My top deadlift single was supposed to be 390 which was a previous PR, and a super grinder. It flew up so fast I decided to try 400 which also went pretty well. I'm so excited to finally be in the 400 club! *happy dancing around*0

Welcome to the club! I remember well the day I first was able to lift 4 plates per side.0

Congratulations on the PR! My goal was 500 by the end of the year. I pulled 505 last Tuesday. I have about 5 1/2 months before my first meet. I'm really looking forward to it.0
