Yesterday's scheduled squat workout never felt right. After a few sets of light depth-checking I decided to leave it until today.
The squats today still didn't feel right (couldn't get into a comfortable rhythm at all) so I elected to switch to a bit of deadlifting instead. Nothing like a bit of rack pulling to get the blood pumping.
With my stance now reasonably wide, I reduced my grip width a little; bringing both hands well into the smooth area of the bar. Whilst this made the movement a little easier overall, grip was certainly a concern - particularly for the last couple of sets.
Rack pull (above knee) 8×3@140/308
Dimel deadlift 4×12@60/132
RDL (sumo, explosive) 4×10@60/132
assorted ab work
NB : I suspect Brent Mikesell's current deadlift challenge (405×20) is safe for a few weeks at least (from me, anyway).
