After some pretty serious hip pain last workout (hip problems made me stop my last LP run) I did a lot of research concluded I needed to experiment with stance width. I narrowed up my stance a couple inches, which seems to help.

I am also focusing on the knees out cue since I was struggling with some knee caving issues. That is probably contributory to the hip pain.

Lastly, I am focusing on the proud chest cue. I have been getting slack in the upper back very very bad in hindsight.

All in all, these corrections make a big difference and I feel like I'm getting much better hip drive out of the hole.

I was dealing with some pretty bad left elbow pain from squats so I decided to go straight to chins and skip cleans. This works out because I'm going to switch to the Onus Wunsler program anyway due to deadlift getting close to stalling.

I have fractional plates ordered and just waiting on those for press and squat.

I got 8-7-5 reps on chins. Would like to see those numbers pumped up. I am much heavier now than the last time I really worked chins though so it's to be expected I guess.

I also did some curls on the EZ-bar which seems to have helped the sore elbow.
