Xiva - Strength block!

[Xiva]

^^ Sounds like a plan. Just remember though that sometimes regardless of any lifting things you will just have no energy. As you get older and have more responsibilities this will become more pronounced.

I had a question about your front squats: why do you start off with crossed arms and then move to clean grip? Better to use the clean grip all the time IMO.

My partner said i should try cross grip - I didn't like it, so i went back to WL grip. Which will be used from now on.

ANd yes i just think i'm burned out, deload will do me good.

strong session as per usual my friend too bad about the energy currently. but if u have been hitting it hard for a long time it may be understandable. nothing wrong with taking it easy awhile uf u feel u need it. good luck with the next session boy. hope it goes well

Thank you buddy

Yep, deload will be fine. Then i have time to figure out if i want to do my 2 blocks or go for some ABC.

Deload sounds the way to go. Its not bad to take a step back once in a while. Keep up the good work
