Morning weight: 146lb
Decided to take a deload day to give me lower back a bit more active rest. So, I cut most of the sets down to 3x5 instead. Today's workout felt really good. My squat form is getting better. Slowing down the descend has helped me tremendously in stabilizing in the hole. Another cue I learned was to tighten my lower back as I come up, almost to a point where its rounding a little (but not actually rounded). This ensured my whole back was tight and straight and made sure my core was stacked coming out of the hole. I felt a lot more powerful this way and my lower back was no longer the dominant driver (my whole body was driving the squat). Overall, I'm pretty happy with today's session.
