Tonight was Intensity night and it was certainly intense.

  

Squats - this is a rep PR for me. I was doing my usual slow decent and pushing back up. On rep 3 I sped it up just a little and got a much better shot out of the hole and better posterior engagement. It felt great to hit all 5 reps strongly.


Bench Press -My form is holding well on the bench. The shoulders are doing well and there is no sign of trouble in the elbows. I am feeling confident right now and I just need to take my time and keep focus.

Deadlift - This lift is still perplexing me. At the South Island Champs one of the judges pointed out that the bar has too much movement as I go up. I could feel what he was talking about and I got Ken to get a side view video to review. Without a doubt the bar does not travel in a straight line going up. As I go up my knees are still bent so the bar goes out over my knees and then back in. I have got to figure this out and get the lift fixed.
