2012-12-29 SS Update and Squat Grip Width Problems (MB)

Progress this week:
Squat: 250, 250, 255
Bench: 190 (fail)
Press: 135 (fail)

Recently, after my 2nd or 3rd set, I've been getting a dull pain in my arms. It got so bad that it started to affect my bench, press and deadlift. I watched the video below and paid attention to my grip width today at 255. After widening my grip and paying attention to what my arms were doing, I felt much better today.

  1. Good video, you doing low bar squats now?

  2. Nope, no low bar yet. When I deload, I will switch to low bar squats and probably swap back squats with front squats on one of the lifting days.
