wozza2k's pursuit of vanity

Reset your squats if you want... But include off-set deficit Bulgarian split squats for 3 sets of 10 as your "assistance" exercise.

Say goodbye to your imbalances... And the seams on your trousers.
 
Do you not think I should reset the squats? I'll re-add back in the off-set work and make sure they're first thing I do for every session now.

And I've got 3 pairs of trousers which are waiting to be repaired and I don't even lift
 
Woke up with DOMs today after going bouldering last night, ironically one of the climbs really punished my hamstrings which is one of my weak points.

Got to prance around in my Adipowers today definitely something to get used to in a good way.

Swapped Bench to OHP as the bench was being hoarded and I need to test/push the shoulders to report back to my physio.

mrthingyx I'm not sure whether I love or hate you for introducing me to DBSS....

Actual LOLS in the gym tonight, crossfitter vs deadlifter over space and dropping weights etc ah the joys of a commercial gym.

Back to regular scheduling, so yeah my squats are still wonky but they appear better not sure whether I'm bracing better or the upgraded footwear but I'll stick with 100kg max until that's tidy.

Deads I figure I just need to be more tight during the lowering phrase.

I apologise for the music in the videos but thankfully I don't hear any of this thanks to my earphones....


 
When you brace, do you feel like you are trying to crimp one off?

Your lumbar is shifting as you squat and I am trying to think of why that might be.

I don't really deadlift, but it looks like you are pushing off your quads first. Tried with your bum a bit lower? Otherwise it looked fine...
 
Hard to describe it but basically I basically try and do the belly full of air and then tighten :confused:

I'm not sure whether my core is just weak hence the rolling as it seems to get progressively worse with each rep.

The frustrating thing is all was good about a year ago :(
 
So I found out today my office chair is wonky and I've been sitting on a wonk for the longest time so not sure whether this is why when I hit the bottom position I twist.

Had a PT come compliment me on my squat form not sure if they were serious or whether I've magically resolved all my issues...

Deadlift numbers are going up but grip is holding me back so will just drill more and more of it to improve.

BSS 3 x 10 feels strangely comfortable but need to work on balance so will still with just BW for a session or two.

When you add weight to the BSS, use a dumbell in one hand. Then we will see how good your balance actually is. :D

No I don't double underhand, I'm not you :p


Tonight:

So my squats do look tidier but there is still some wonkiness to it but it only occurs at the top which is interesting, it looks as though I’m struggling to get tight or I lose the tightness but at least on the way down/up it there.

BSS when I my right leg is in front/leading I feel a massive stretch in my left leg so I guess I should work on this a bit more in addition to mobilising the hell out of it.

All in all I’m happier as at least I’m moving some sort of progress
