Ass-kicking is what I got for my workout this morning.
Not sure what exactly happened, but I have my suspicions on what contributed - tight hammies, and a wonky thoracic and neck surely did not do me any favors during my squats and OHP's. I finished my workout but I felt like it could have been better.
I have to keep working on stretching my hams and hip flexors so I can get better squat depth but it's not really progressing the way I wish it would. Perhaps I need to just keep a wider stance since that seems to work okay; I'm just worried that it might hinder me later on.
The OHP is my NEMESIS. I'm not sure wtf it is about that lift, but my body starts twisting around when I get fatigued, almost like my bottom half is turning to the right while the upper half is rotating to the left. I'm sure that can't be good for me.
And these seem to be the challenges with working out strictly from home with no formal training. I'm sure that if I had someone with good experience, I could more easily work on correcting these types of issues rather than feeling like I'm shooting in the dark when trying to figure out HOW or WHAT to fix.
Is what it is, and I will persist!
That said, I posted a video of my 140 lb deadlift (2nd set in RPT where my top lift was 155 * 4) for a form check in http://www.reddit.com/r/weightroom/ as well as on the Nerd Fitness Forums. General feedback was positive and I got a number of comments indicating that it looked awfully easy to be my 90% set. Guess that means I ought to amp it up!
