No fails today, so that was good.
Im done with the bench squats. I dont feel like going heavier, as I have no clue how to fail the weight. 110 x 3 was abit painful at the bottom, depressing shit.

Ill do some upper back (traps and lats) and bi's tomorrow.

Read quite a bit about the hip pain before going to bed.
So I went in today and wanted to try a really low bar squat. Really pushing myself back (rippetoe/box squat style).
(pushing knees out, hips going first, look down)
And my hip didnt hurt at all, besides my glute medius, which felt very tight..
I also did it barefooted.

My strenght is def. down with this style.
I tried going as low bar as I possibly could. I got the idea from watching kotriz squat, where he takes out the flexion in his hips before squatting down.

I think the first (170) was better, i get more back there. The 180 I got a little too much forward I think. Weight felt easy on my back, but I struggled with the singles.
My back is fried after these too

Thanks - yes, you do. That looked easy, btw.

I started of like that, but then my squat transformed it self onto a more hybrid of a low and high bar squat (see Konstantin Pozdeev). Knees and hips break even, knees goes forward, chest and head stays up. weird.

worked on form with squats. My back is toast after these. Either my back rounds or my back is weak. Need to stretch my hams more too.
School is back on, so little sleep today. Back to sheduele and no more lazy days. Bit I wont allow training to take a hit because of it.

good to be handling some heavy weights again, but I cant be happy with this.
Bad depth, needs improvement.
My mind goes blank and I only think about finishing the set and getting the required reps when doing heavy squats. depth seems to go to shit because of it.
depth seems to be better w/o belt too.
No excuses, though
TLDR: I suck.

I scream alot, so watch your volume level, lol

I got a bit of a problem now. I dont know what programming to do with my squatting. Im going to continue sheiko with bench and deadlifts.
The best way would be to do sheiko with squats too, but can my hips handle all the volum? Then again, sheiko would have me practice alot, so that my form would be better.

T3 seems like a good option, allthough it is hard as shit. The weight will be heavier and the 10'th set will require me to keep good form (Will I be able to do that?)
And it is also a bit difficult to program with sheiko.

Madcow for squats has the least volume, which also means the least practice.
It is also fairly aggressive, but potentially could give massive gainz.

If anyone got any opinions on what programming would benefit my goals (get strong, keep hips happy and improve the new low bar technique), please leave comment.
 
Bench Press
Missed 145.

Squats
up to
170 x 1 (video)
180 x 1 (video)
190 x 0,1 (video)

Hanging leg raises 3 x 10

No more shortcuts for the bench. Hard work and grind next (sheiko). Doubt ill get 150 by the new year. Meh, dont really care that much. Ill get it some day.

The 170 and 180 singles looked really good. So I felt confident I would get 190. Well, I missed. The 2nd try I cut depth a bit, but grinded it out. Strained my neck a bit because I pushed so hard back into the bar.
Thinking of doing sheiko with squats, but staying beltless
