THE STIFFMEISTER 14,463 Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 1 hour ago, Rusty_terrier said: Probably not need to deload. Just change squat to 3x5. Then when that starts stalling goto 3x3. Or if it is form tmrather than strength then yep maybe cut it back and work on form. Good form will help the weights go up. Bit gay but maybe worth filming yourself to see your form if you just train alone. Was just going to say that rust. Always worth looking at yourself rather than hearing how poor your form is . Disheartening. To be honest ketch, you should be able to squat every day. Even if just air squats. I found that even with DOMs you condition Better and become more resilient even doing them as a warm up the next day 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
THE STIFFMEISTER 14,463 Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 Ps ketch Next time you end up at catterick race course having a square go , you’ll be able to dodge the uks most feared jab by cutting around like a Cossack dancer with all these squats 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TOMO 24,775 Posted May 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 katchum have you tried the front squat....because of the mechanics of it ,, it keeps you up right and forces you to use your quads ...it usualy means using less weight ... what exactly is the problem with your back squat??...leaning forward to much ...so it becomes a good morning ?...not making depth?...
