Getting there. It feels okay but I can also feel that it's just one stupid move to getting hurt again. I really have to drill form on every squat and pull rep. If I get misgrooved a bit I can feel it. Not bad but enough to let me know to smarten up.

Hmm... It’s probably only formatted for iPhone maybe. Do you have VLC for media on your computer? It’s just my seated presses. Same as on my FB page.

Nice squat workout !

Slowly, over time, with much focused effort and mental reprogramming... I have trained myself to hate high reps slightly less. 

I do credit them staving burnout and overtraining.

I don’t mind when the focus is just on one set compared to something like 5 x 10r or something silly like that.

I wouldn’t know anything about 5 sets of 10. I think I did 3 sets of 10 once. 

Hey, congrats on busting the 200 pinch! Nice.
