Intensity day of TM. 335x5

Nice! Reps 4 & 5 maybe a pube too high.

depth is fine.

Make sure your upper back is in extension, and drop your elbows a bit.

thanks Bill, will do

From VD this morning, this was set 4. Tried dropping my elbows a bit but can't tell if I did a better job.

Those look better. As the weight increases, just make sure you don't get in a situation where you're "leading with your elbows" as you come out of the hole - often happens when your hips shoot up/back faster than you chest rises and the back angle becomes more closed instead of staying constant. I had trouble with that for a while and it lead to some nasty elbow tendinitis.

thanks for the help, Bill! I'll keep it in mind as my elbows sometimes do get a bit aggravated.

Looks solid. In the long run I would try to eliminate the way how the hips are shooting back now.
