I kicked off week 2 today and that meant working up to top set of 5 reps followed by back off working sets for 3's. Following this clusters sets of bench and finishing off with front squats.
The session went well today though I still have deadlifts programmed just a little high. Not quite feeling the pop in my top set though the back off sets are feeling good and fast.
During bench I felt my form improving as I am getting much tighter and keeping that upper back pushed tight into the bench.
I thought I would never say this but damn I love front squats.Since I have given up on my shitty wrist flexibility and moved to straps my form has been fantastic. Today I was bolt upright, and paused for 2 seconds in the hole on every rep for every set of 5. What's more I am really feeling the tension in the quads during the set. Now that my form is good these sets should really help bring up my quads and benefit my back squat.
A good day today and the best thing about today's session is I am on holidays so I can head back into the gym tomorrow for some light recovery prowler, stretching and core work.
