When you wake up at 5 in the morning and get home later than 6 from school and still have more homework to do, it's kind of rough to find time to eat, lift, do homework, and still go to sleep at a time where you get 7-8 hours of sleep. | ||

3 sec pause Back squat 5 ramping sets. 165x5 175x5 185x5x2 195x5 Front squats 1x5@135 2x8@115 Conditioning: Rep ladder - 3/6/9/etc. 7 min AMRAP 75# power snatch 24 in box jump Completed 9 + 14. I think I'm going to repeat this conditioning workout on thursday or saturday without a preceding strength workout, but using the RX power snatch of 95#. The goal was to get to the round of 12, and I think I could have done that with 95 if I were power snatching instead of muscle snatching. Would be nice to actually finish a workout as written. | ||

No, Celltech has it WAY harder than I did and is way more dedicated. I could've spent more time and tried to dedicate myself to it, but I just wanted the easier way out. Real life doesn't rearrange itself to give you time to lift and you kind of just have to accept that and say that you'll either lift regardless or you'll just live a sedentary life like everyone else. It's not really an excuse to just say that you had it hard for a while; everyone has it hard. The ones who want to succeed will keep lifting anyway. Also, I just found out relatively good news that has kind of bad news for my lifting over the school year. I got a pretty sick volunteering position at a hospital in the administration office under some president of the hospital, which hopefully can translate to a sick letter of recommendation. I start tomorrow which should be an issue for my lifting over the summer. However, over the school year I'm going to have to drop a commitment I think. Probably just going to quit all the clubs I don't have an officership in, since I'd rather lift than waste my time in a club I don't care about. | ||

I love doing EMOM's, they're super fun and require a lot from you. Super good for cardio work and conditioning.  Cheers. | ||

30 minutes Warm up & establish a max Clean and Jerk 95x3 115x3 125x3 135x3 155x1 165x1 175x1 and then somewhere between 5 and 10 misses at 185. 175 was borderline between clean/power clean, but the jerk was good. I'm honestly not sure I could have front squatted 185 after yesterday's lift anyway. Pulled it to about the bottom of my ribcage each time, but just never got under it. I'm not explosive enough in the last 1/3 of the pull I think. 12 min AMRAP 20 Toes to Bar/Knees to Elbows 20 pushups 20 Hang Cleans 115# 200m run with 45lb plate overhead. 1 round +39 reps Did 10 T2B and 10 K2E on each round. Each one took me three minutes, so I spent about half the time limit there T2B are a nightmare. Rest of it was actually not bad at all. | ||

I kept looking at my recording after each attempt and I think maybe (in my mind) I go deeper and deeper each set. This a set at 135 and then three sets at 155. Am I at least hitting parallel? I of course will keep stretching in the meantime. It's pretty satisfying. My hips felt really... stretched? This morning when doing deadlifts. | ||

You between an inch and two inches from it on your 225 set last week. The bigger issue there was that you're starting to squat morning it, than the depth IMO. These are well below parallel, as best I can tell, there happens to bea huge glare around your hip crease in that video. Keep stretching because stretching is good, but I don't think there's any reason for you to have deloaded to 155. Maybe 15% tops (195, if 225 was a max set). Just remember the various cues to fix the squatmorning. Keep the chest up, upper back tight, core tight. Use your glutes to get yourself out of the bottom, and think about bringing the hips forward through the middle of the lift, rather than actively extending the knee. | ||

I deloaded to 155 because I hurt my lower back last week after those 225 sets. It was still sore until yesterday so I wanted to just test it a bit today, plus make sure I could get good depth. Would those squat mornings have probably caused the lower back pain? I guess I can assume that. However I'm trying to fix my bent over row form too because I realized I was really hyper-extending my lower back while doing them. Could have been a mix of both. I did hurt my back squatting in April and it was the same pain as before (not as severe) but that time when I hurt it, it started hurting immediately during the set. Last week's pain started the next morning after squatting (almost 24 hours later). Weird. Anyway, thanks for taking a look. | ||

And going lower means sinking your hips lower not bending forward. And if you can't do that then take off a ton of weight or go work on your mobility or do both. I probably took 60 pounds off my working sets when I changed my squatting style. My squats went from looking like this: (lols i was so small and weak) to this: And that squat is like 2 years old, I like to think they're much better now. | ||
