Several things went wrong today. Inspite of this there is good news and bad news. Good news is that diet was not one of the things which went bad today. Good news is also that I was able to lift some pretty heavy weight and most likely hit a huge PR on the Box Squats. The bad news is that I don't think my form was good. Bad news is also that the weight wasnt the problem: i slept in this really weird position last night and I slipped down some stairs today morning. So my right knee was feeling a bit weird and throughout my workout I could not concentrate on my damn glutes. I find it ironic that when I make up my mind not to take videos of my workouts, I put up the best form but when I decide to take videos my form breaks down. Since it is important for me to learn to stop being camera shy/conscious, I am not going to stop recording me...instead, I plan on recording atleast one set each and every session.

I warmed up using the mobility drills in "Maximum Strength" and then I decided to do some Overhead Squats to make sure my hamstrings are getting too tight. Here is one of the vids: http://s81.photobucket.com/albums/j2...urrent=OHS.flv

After OH Squats, I went in and did some Box Squats for triples. The weight used is 300. Before I post the vids, I want to point out certain things which I see a fault in. Firstly, my right knee was giving me problems so I don't think I was breaking properly. Secondly, whenever I do Box Squats, I always go down slowly because I try and focus on my glutes. Then, once I hit the box, I keep my glutes flexed and hard and I come up fast. This is how I did 275 for 4x4 and 260 for 8x3. My form was impeccable at the time. However, because of my sleeping position and my slippery slide down the staircase today morning, form was a bit off today. I plan on getting this shit right next time. It doesnt matter what could have happened though. All that matters is what did happen. And regardless of anything, form or not, I managed to move 300 lbs. Next time I will do a better job. That is all.

After Box Squats I hit some Speed Deadlifts @ 65% of my 1RM = 235 lbs. I am wondering if my form is good or not. In the sense, I think my form is alright but to me the bar wasn't moving fast enough...

I finished the workout with some Walking lunges and Ab work. I plan on resting up tonight...

Decent workout. I'm feeling a bit low inspite of having hit a so called "PR" on Box Squats because I'm not too satisfied with my form. But....I guess we all live and learn but this is the second lower body workout where my form has been an issue. Last time it was rack deads and front squats...now box squats. Good news is that this is hopefully this week I can redeem myself on both the rack deads and the front squats

I hope everyone is having a swell day. Have a good week, y'all!
