So, yesterday I tired to move the bar lower.
This did not work.
Couldn't get into position without lots of pain in my shoulders and pressure on my hand. Playing around with it really ruined my workout tbh.

So I moved on, in the evening I decided if I can't get the bar into a low bar, I'm just going to have to high bar properly.
So I dropped weight down no 60, I feel comfortable there. And tried to focus on the high bar ques from Alan Thrall's youtube.

SQ:
2x5 @ 20Kg
1x5 @ 40Kg
1x3 @ 50Kg
6-7x5 @ 60kg (I lost track of sets haha)
So, A critique:

I feel I'm not going deep enough? looks high to me.
I'm leaning forward at the bottom, drifting onto my toes.
I also think a number of times I'm bending at the bottom.
I'm taking the advice from Alan Thrall's youtube and blaming ankle mobility for rocking onto toes so adding the stretches he suggests to my warmup.

OHP:
2x5 @ 20Kg
1x3 @ 30Kg
5x5 @ 45Kg

DL:
1x5 @ 60Kg
1x5 @ 80Kg
1x5 @ 97.5Kg
Bumper plates arrive tomorrow, so these'll be easier to setup and less worry about noise haha

Chin-ups:
3x5 @ BW + 23.75Kg

Experiencing a pain in the front of my hip as I 'get in the hole' :p
not great :(
Skipped the squats as I felt I was only going to aggravate it, quite frankly I'm getting annoyed at my form.
I consistently raise my heels, tbh I felt my form was better back when I was doing the 'low bar form with a high bar position'.

I'm looking into getting some 1 on 1 time with a coach.

SQ:
Skipped
