Really tried to dial in the squat technique today. Changed my squat stance wider so I could really sit back more and keep my shins vertical. My descents were all too slow as I was so focused on sitting back and really letting the hamstrings take the weight. Ended up failing the last rep on the last two sets for squat. The pressure buildup was immense! Really understand what getting tight under the bar means now. My head was slightly woozy after and I had to take a 15 min break before I could bench. The squats really kicked my ass big time today lol As a result, my accessory work was much lighter than usual, except for the ab work. Realy going to start upping the weight for ab work and strengthen my core up.
