Though today was planned to be a rest day, I got bored. I went to the gym and did 15:00 of HIIT on stationary bike, then worked with LIGHT weights to practice my technique for bench and squat. 8 sets of 5 each, 115lbs and 135lbs respectively. Nothign major. I do know the bench a bit more intricately now and figured out how to do "elbows tucked" and "pull the bar apart." My bench felt much more powerful as the technique got down and the sets went on.. Even though fatigue was setting in, I was lifting the bar up with more force. So I don't regret my decision in the least to go to the gym today.
As far as squat goes, I think my technique has been pretty solid throughout my journey with it. The only thing I noticed was that I could actually get two inches or so lower than I normally do. I'm not entirely sure if this is practical or not, so maybe someone can give me some feedback on it. I already squat below parallel... is that extra inch or two of the ROM significant?
