bball court was taken so this was in the yoga room. felt bad, unexplosive.

- squat 205 x 6,6
right low back was there during the first set but stayed away during the second set.

- RDL 205 x 6,6,6

- decline sit up +18 x 10,10

- stretch

low back thing was worrisome, no squatting again until at least thursday.

congrats on getting the three plates x6,6,6

hook grip on DLs sucks at first. my recommendation is to practice on chins and other rows to get reps in and gradually work your way into doing the heavy stuff. your thumbs will hurt.

and on that note, doesn't look like you are really adhering to the internet-standard of balancing pushing and pulling for your torso and arms. i remember years ago reading eric cressey saying that reps should be balanced always between pushing and pulling exercises, and the planes of movement should also be balanced. if you're going to be unbalanced, better for it to be on the pulling side. in one form or other pretty much everyone i've ever read backs that up, and it makes intuitive sense.

for front squats you can also do bodybuilder grip. easier on the wrists.

welcome back, haha.

or try adjusting your grip? if you're doing really wide grip, then maybe narrow a bit to a more conventional grip? or do a bit of fiddling around with technique? maybe you're not pressing through the floor enough with your feet?
