Nice solid week of training. I feel like I’m starting to feel better out of the bottom of my squats. This has always been a soft spot for me. I’m sure with some additional strength out of the hole after focusing on it during my off-season, that I should be in a good spot for a big squat come October. Benching is still feeling cruddy, but I am seeing slow improvements on both my set-up and bar path. This will definitely carry over to my shirted bench. A better base always helps. Conventional deads feel awkward, but when I watch the video, speed and power look good.

My family went camping over the weekend at Jellystone Park. It’s far from traditonal camping, but the kids really love this place. I also don’t mind having a bed to sleep in and an air conditioner next to my head. Life is good, both inside and outside the gym and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
