Getting Physically & Mentally Stronger Through Barbell Training
Good question Philosoraptor!
I've always wondered this myself. And what about the afternoons?
Not exactly sure how the exercise "good-morning" got it's name, but according to Wikipedia:
The movement resembles bowing to greet someone "good morning"
I've never had anyone bow like this to me in the morning, but it seems common in Japan, with a shorter range of motion. And I bet they bow throughout the day, not just in the mornings.
Chaos training.
Pecs feeling a bit sore today. Maybe DOMS from last Wednesday's weighted dips.
Used the 18" tall Rogue Flat Utility bench instead of my 16.5" tall Amstaff flat bench today.
Squatting strength has declined. Maybe it's because of missing a few volume days, or trying out a wider stance, or both.
I'm finding with the wider stance, it's getting temporarily stuck halfway as I ascend upwards. Also I'm feeling pretty exhausted after the set (of 1 rep!).
Now that I think of it, it's probably a combination of both missing volume days (I find that 5x5 really builds up my stamina) and attempting a wider stance.
Time to get back on the 5x5 protocol.
