I worked with Art again tonight. He thinks my depth is great, even under heavy loads. All of my form issues that he can see come from a sticking point I have at right about parallel. For some reason, I'm a bit weak there, and that causes me to want to GM past that point. In other words, I don't quite GM out of the hole, but squat up properly a few inches, and then transition to a butt-up/GM. Once he was sure of this, he stopped my last work set at the prescribed reps. He knew - and I know - I could have gotten more, maybe even a PR of 9, but he wants to take my extra energy and address the weak point. I like it.
He also thinks I do too many warm up sets, particular as I start with power cleans.
By the way, he was right about that last set of 25. At rep 10, I thought it would be a breeze. I started calling him names at about rep 15. My back was tired immediately from holding tight that long, but my legs felt great. This morning, as I'm writing this, I'm thinking that having my quads removed might not be too drastic a surgery to perform myself with a spoon.
Can you tell I loved this?
