Truisms from the Bench

It is damn near impossible to find a random spotter that knows what the fuck they are doing. Today, I was on the receiving end of such an intense lift off that it actually pulled my shoulders off of the bench.

WTF, mate?

5/3/1 for the week

Front Squat: 6 x 165

Miscalculation in weight. Was supposed to be 160. Oh well.

Bench: 6 x 190

Hmmm. I just did a quick check on myself. It would be generous for me to claim that I can achieve a few degrees of internal rotation.

You could be onto something here. I could see how this would cause problems with the squat. I should really get a copy of Assess and Correct...
