The depth on Saturday left a bad taste in my mouth, so today's focus was getting low in the hole.

Stayed tight; self-coaching cue of the day: "under." Kept the weight centered and over the traps.

Speed, speed, and more speed. I came across Pete Rubish's channel a few days ago after seeing his awesome depth squat in a meet covered by Mark Bell, and was impressed with the speed and aggressiveness with which he approached his deadlifts. Needless to say it's left an impression on my pulls today and so I walked up to the bar with the same goal in mind. The pulls felt great, and 275 went up easy. It's a slow journey up, but form is my mantra and if it goes up, it goes up. Finished off with some pulldowns and legs raises with my friend. Damn core cramped up.
Til next time; keep on squatting.
