Monday 16th March 2021Felt Ok today, but still feeling a bit tired from Jumps on Saturday, so will add an extra rest day next week and see how that goes.

Belted -
1) 117.5kg, 259lbs x5 @ RPE 8 --> miscounted, was supposed to be 6 reps, but it felt hard anyway....
2) 107.5kg, 239lbs 2x6 @ RPE 8
Felt hard, and not great today, still fatigued from jumps
Low bar squatDid these after high bar of the same load - 40kg x3, 60kg x3, 80kg x3, 100kg x2
107.5kg x5
Tried some low bar squats today.
Form is about the same as my high bar, but it feels more stable, smoother and natural to me.
Seems to hit my VMO much harder as well for some reason
Perhaps I have the bar way too high up on my high bar, will experiment with bar placement
But I also have a Safety Squat bar and that also feels better and more natural than my current high bar form which always feels awkward...
