Kickin' Cancer in the A** with LP

[jpwk]

Week 2 Day 3: 12th of July

Squat

45 kg x 5 reps,

45 kg x 4 reps (couldn't get the last rep up),
42.5 kg x 5 reps


Press

25 kg x 5 reps, 25 kg x 5 reps, 25 kg x 5 reps

Deadlift

55 kg x 3 reps

Feel like I'm starting to slow down on the progress with strength, will reduce the increments per workout to 2.5kgs and see what happens. Still struggling with eating, kinda have a phobia of eating more, but I'm doing my best. Constructive criticism most welcome on the squat form! I feel like there is a abit of knee slide at the bottom and I don't think I'm keeping tight enough, what do you guys think? P.S. sorry for the different angles I was trying to find out which one was better

Hi there,

a couple of notes, if I may:

- make sure you hit depth on all reps. The first is ok (-ish), but the second and all the subsequent ones look a bit high. I know that hitting depth for the whole set is going to be pretty painful the first few times, and might even require you to drop the weight a little, but it's the sort of very good habit that is better to establish sooner, rather than later.

- I think you could move those hooks at least one hole higher up, if not two. You should take/put back your bar from an 'almost' upright position, rather than a 'bow in front of your boss' one :-)


Keep going.

Duly noted, will try to adjust my form and try to reach depth. Oops! Edited that extra 1 out.

Nice work. The cue I use for depth is setting the safety bar to where my forearm touches at depth.

followed IBP's suggestions and spent some time trying to dial in my squat form today. dropped the weight, and tried to hit depth(hopefully i did) also tried to limit my knees moving forward during the bottom half of the descent.

Hello,

I would say this is a better squat.
First two reps, no question about depth.
Third rep, I think you might have been a bit too hasty.
Last two reps are probably borderline; overall, the improvement compared to the previous video is obvious, very well done indeed.

Thank you! I think I might keep the squat light for a few more sessions to further drill in the form.

Hi there,

Squat

no questions about depth on this one, all five clearly below parallel (I think you must have felt the difference).
Well done.
Now you 'just' have to build up from here.
