Really thought I was going to get squats today after the first set.
I am definitely going to do 1kg jumps on bench and standing press from now on.
Deadlift---I really don't know what the problem is. I knew I wasn't feeling strong today, so I dropped the weight to 132.5, and I still couldn't move it.
After analyzing my form frame by frame for a couple of hours, I noticed that I am actually making a slight circle movement with my knees and hips at the bottom of the squat. Very strange and I don't know how this started happening. I am also trying to lift the weight up and slightly forward for some reason, as if I wanted to throw the bar forward away from me. Thus, my hip drive is not straight up. Also, my knees come just slightly in toward the bottom. Also noticed my wrists are not totally straight although I thought I already corrected that.
I really tried to correct these things today, and I had some success. Some reps were better, some were just like before. Anyway, I am going to start next week back at 105 and really concentrate on correcting these problems.
Also going to reset deads back to 130. But if I cannot get back on track with actual linear progression soon, it's going to be time to end this program.
If you work out completely alone in your house, I strongly recommend getting a video camera. There is only so much you can do on feel alone. However, if I lived in the US, I would rather pay for some real coaching for a short time just to nail the form.
