Squat 370 x 5
Press 140 x 5
So I started squatting facing away from the mirror. I found that I'd been getting cues from seeing myself squatting, which would definitely be detrimental during a competition. It was kind of dumb that I did this during an intensity day but the weight is still relatively lowballed at this point. If you plan to compete at some point, I suggest you start doing the same (if you don't have a cage, I guess you can close your eyes? Never tried that though).
Otherwise the workout was fine.
good point about the mirror. i started doing this a few years ago because i realized i was using the mirror as a crutch.
ReplyDeleteYeah dude, instead of feeling whether I was at the bottom and it was time to rebound and fire hips/quads, I would watch for it instead.
ReplyDeleteha thats crazy. kind of like doing snatches in the mirror and not jumping till you saw the bar got to your hips.
