Light week, bringing back some cardio, prehab and mobility for general health. Doing cossack squats again feels great for the hips and lower back.

Tighten the core/upper back, relax the glutes so that the femur can move freely in its socket. The paused sets are an excellent litmus test for when the cues are on point.

Last thursday's session:

Squat
60*3 (paused)
80*3 (paused)
100*3 (paused)
120*3 (paused)
150*3*5

Focusing on speed and consistency. The stretch anf bounce is there, but there's unevenness that needs to be worked out.

Paused SOHP
30*5
40*5
50*5

85*1

Technique issue at the brace. Activate the neck hyoid muscles.
 
Squat
60*5 (paused)
80*5 (paused)
100*5
120*5*3

Slighty wider stance with toes pointed out a tad more. Much less hip impingement. Be mindful of engaging the hip adductors on the last half of the descent - helps tremendously!

Again, punching the clock and training is better than nothing. Also - filming yourself as often as possible is an EXCELLENT tool for improvement in pretty much all things skill-related.
