Training Observation

So, I've noticed something these past few weeks - recording your sets is really beneficial.

For example, I've been deadlifting a very long time. However, since I have been recording myself these past few months I have noticed some areas that need "tweaking".

Example with my squat - I noticed I took too much time and energy getting into position after I unracked the bar. I took too big of a step backwards and too much time getting my feet set. I fixed that.

Example with my deadlift - I wasn't "pushing my hips back" enough to load my butt and hamstrings before pulling the bar. Now I really emphasis sticking my butt back as I descend to grab the bar.

Another example with my deadlift - I could actually bring my grip in a little. This slightly decreases the distance I have to pull the bar off the floor.

If you don't record yourself lifting, you should really consider it.

Also, I know I said today was an off day, but I did a very light workout just to "grease the groove" even further.

1) Deadlift - 135x2x5

2a) Push Press - 65x2x5
2b) Neutral Pullup - 2x5

3) Squat - 75x2x5

4) KB Swing - 1x20

Nice and super easy. Will be heavier tomorrow.
