Tues, 24 Mar 15
Today was very similar to my deadlift day last week in that I felt like I was finally able to get some positive change on my technique issues and I didn't hate every minute of squatting like I did on my last squat day two weeks ago. All of my first reps today felt very easy and strong and I know, for the most part, what I was doing wrong on the reps I did that were harder and I was able to do work to correct the faults.

I didn't do conditioning today because I was going to see Gregg at work for a quick adjustment. And I skipped my last set of ab work because my hip flexors were totally shot and I was flopping around like a fish out of water on the second set. I'm very pleased that I'm finally getting to where I can actually do squats and deadlifts again with something approaching good technique, I just wish I had a training partner to yell at me when I am doing stupid stuff cause it's much easier to adjust when you have qualified people threatening to murder everyone you've ever known if you don't quit twisting your right hip forward.
