Texas, week 3, recovery
Warm-up:
back squat to 155
3x3 back squat (170)
3x3 bench press (135, 2x140)
Prolonged cycle from last week. At the lighter weight today really focused on getting the low-bar squat in the right position, down on the ridge of the scapula. Still doesn't feel quite right but better today.

One useful cue for a more comfortable low-bar position is to lift the elbows. This creates a shelf just below the spine of the scapula (contraction of the posterior delts), which keeps the bar from slipping.
Yeah, lifting the elbows definitely helps. Sometimes it just feels like the bar's sitting on bone.
On the positive side, the squatting itself felt far more comfortable than the feel of the bar.
