Dunks - 30
Squat notes:
Meant to be a light day but i have the PR bug so it was hard to hold back. I am pissed off at failing 120kg double though, i feel as though i've regressed now that im not able to do it after getting it. But friday i'll prob get some solid PRs.
I'm sold on paused squats. My ego didn't allow me to do them with my mediocre tonnage but it makes sense that i'm not going anywhere fast that i should just try them out. Considering the goal is to get stronger - and they do that well, i'll be doing them with some fervour in the coming months. I still want to improve my conventional squats though but paused squats will become my main squat focus very soon.
My biggest problem right now with (front) squatting is the eccentric part. I have no idea what im doing on the way down. My body doesn't look solid at all, it's like im flopping into the lift (regardless of whether it's done slow or fast - flopping is the right word). Any pointers on perfecting the descent, Kingfisher? The shitty thing is i looked back at my form all the way to xmas 2013 and i had the same problem then too. I've probably had it for a long time and it's pretty unsafe to continue doing especially considering I've had my share of injuries.
