Ok guys great workout today, squats felt fantastic for the first time in ages.My whole lower body was begging for mercy by my last set.Im so relieved.I looked at the footage and I look a little awkward!! but my back arch is waaaaay tighter and my elbow position is much better.I focused on trying to keep the elbows under the bar whilst trying to pull my forearms together, the result was a much tighter upper back which led to a much tighter lower back, a more upright position and much more power out the hole.Felt great.(FYI I used to get my elbows up too high behind me and it made keeping the back tight harder)

Bench was awesome too, I made a larger jump in weight than planned but had no probs at all getting my reps, the last rep of the last set was hard but not too bad.

I was pretty tired by the time chins rolled around but had no probs there either,Today was one of those good days I guess.

Stress Day 1/10/07

Squat 5x3 93.5kg
Bench 5x3 75kg
Chin 5x5 BW+7.5kg

Great stuff Im very happy I though I was gonna be stuck in the squat rut forever!!

I planned to do carb cut offs today but screw that Im gonna eat, that workout was too good to waste!

Tommorrow stretching and cardio.

Cheers HIThopper
