Great workout!
Building confidence in my squat is really helping me progress. Knees felt amazing, a few reps were a slow grind, i attribute this to lack of focus and balance and not setting my core properly. Still went well but I need to work on my routine. In golf my routine is automatic, i need to work on that for my squat. Videoed 2nd set. I am amazed how explosive i look, i am moving twice as fast as i think i am. Good stuff.
Bench, like usually felt really good. Last session my left elbow may have drifted an inch or 2 upward and it caused a little shoulder pain. Today I was cognizant of that and was very smooth with the movement.
Deadlifts, after watching SS video for Deads again, I made an effort to reset on the bottom of each rep. I thought this was going to be difficult to do, but I went very well. Felt strong, had at least 3-5 reps left in the tank and that is a great feeling.
Overall session was great. Enough energy, good confidence.
