Actually felt quads working on the high bar squats which is unusual for me and also a good thing. Hip actually felt best it has in a while, hopefully that will continue. Oddly sumo actually seems to help it.
Everything improved this week in every workout except deadlift. But I’m thats to be expected as I’ve been flip flopping and experimenting with sumo some. That’s over and going to stick with conventional, cause it’s cooler. Deadlift also seems to be the movement most affected by my job (manual labor). When my trunk is fatigued from work it affects my deadlift worse than anything else.
I also am having some trouble with my set up, especially after first rep, hips dropping to low and knees to far forward. So I’m going to be doing some cluster work, at least on comp deadlift days. I will step away and step back to the bar each rep, and go through my set up again. So maybe 5-10 seconds between reps. Will make my sets uber long but I have some things I need to fix and I think it will help.
All deadlifts were done cluster style, set the bar down, stood up, took a breath a two and went through set up again. I think this will help with my set up tremendously.
