Form Correction
So the last two weeks have been pretty crap for lifting. I hit the heavier squats in recent weeks with what turns out to be incorrect form in my grip, which resulted in terrible shooting pains in my forearms up through my biceps. Fun! So after some advice from friends and re-reading the Squat chapter in Starting Strength (and taking another week off), I hit the gym again today.
Moved the bar position up about 1 inch on my back, and shifted the way my grip worked … and boom! Instant fix. Moved 245 lbs. in regular 5×3 sets. Easily, I might add! Nice to get back on track with this stuff.
