Comments:
Switched to low bar squats so I can put less pressure on the neck area (although this might worsen my thoracic spine injury). The result? Bar was flying, 80 kg was very easy, even though I'm doing the low bar squats in a more "athletic" way, closer to the high bar variant and with Olympic lifting shoes on. Bench was okish, though still very weak.
