Squat back rounding again... 280lbs
Hi,
Sorry for dark shirt, all grey ones were in laundry.
Squat 127.5kg 280lbs 09.02.2024 - YouTube - 281lbs 3rd set
This rounding started at around 265lbs mark, so 3-4 sessions ago.
I didn't pay attention to it at first, and didn't film my sets during this time (big mistake, I know).
So today was pretty much the first time I realized how bad is this rounding.
It happens mainly on last 2-3 reps of 2nd and 3rd sets.
I've had this issue previously, Rip said to wear a belt because I wasn't tight enough. Is it same thing? Link to thread
Also elbow tendinitis came back (I assume it's because I roll elbows under the bar). I will add chin-ups to deal with it.
Should I take weight off and build my way up while working on form? Or maybe add a light squat day with tempo-squats to work on tightness?
I'm 18M/6'2/210lbs, 3rd workout of 9th week. Gained 20lbs since started SS. Sleep uninterrupted 9-10hrs.
Squat - 280lbs 3x5
Deadlift - 320lbs 1x5
Press - 115lbs 3x5 (Failed new progression today because of elbows and fatigued quads),
Bench - 210lbs 3x5 (Failed last progression because of elbows),
PC - 135lbs 5x3.

Your elbows are dropping, and that is causing the problem. Lift them as you get to the bottom and you will stay tighter.

Hi, Rip.
Thank you for answering. So just keep pushing and fix elbows, got you.
What do you think about technique other than that? Knees/back angle?
