Did WED_WKOT, felt good overall, continuing on my deload week. Today I had three revelations:
- Have some OJ and a banana a bit before starting the workout.
- 3×7 with hard weights straight across the board will probably be better for my next 4-week cycle. See how that goes. Bodyweight exercises can be higher reps.
- Noticed BSQ would only start to invoke adductor tendon discomfort at a specific point in the concentric part of the lift, about halfway up, thighs about 45 degrees. Pausing here and proceeding to lockout with caution, focusing on quad activation felt A LOT better. Definitely have to remember this to see if it was a fluke or just something I do for now.
Bonus revelation: Probably don’t need to BSQ all the way to A2G, hip crease below knee is probably sufficient and should hopefully put less strain on the SI joints in general so I’m going to try this for the next 4-week cycle as well.
