Testing out a different technique today. Instead of the usual wide stance and looking-at-the-floor eye gaze, I'm trying out a moderate/medium'ish stance (similar to my high bar squat) and looking up.

We'll see if this will help keep my torso more erect, and utilize the strength of my quadraceptacons.

Ever since I started taking strength training seriously, I was bitten by the Iron Bug. Then it burrowed under my skin and laid eggs in my heart. Now those eggs are hatching and I... the feeling is indescribable.
