Easy day

Hamstrings are torched from yesterday. Just needed to move a bit, reinforce some patterns and get some conditioning in. I know if I take today off my hamstrings aren't going to feel better for tomorrow. Blood flow for the win.

Felt great to get some circuit power training in. I haven't done it in a while, forgot how much of a killer it can be . I like to sandwich the ISO metrics as an active rest. It doesn't feel like rest because it forces you to breath through a brace while tired.

I've been troubling shooting my squats. Low back has been a little sore from going to far deep i think. I was going well below parallel. To the point my ass was tucking at the bottom putting me into spinal flexion. After some video taping and tweaks I can get about an inch below parallel before my butt goes under. Now I just need to learn what it feels like and just hit that depth . I also need to make sure to do this in the squat cleans because I think that dynamic part is putting stress on low back . That is also why I only did the concentric power cleans today to leave that eccentric portion out of it.
