    Dropped the weight on the deadlift. Form was sloppy on OHP so will use same weight next time.
    Happy enough with squat

    That was better with the deadlift, but there was still some slack there - but definitely not as much.
    Dropping the load will never hurt when you are trying to correct form. However in this case, it's more about setup than the actual lift. You've no tension on the bar before you lift. Some reps are better than others. That "clack" at the start of the lift is the bar hitting off the plates, it should already be tight against the plates before you pull. If there is gap between the bar and plates will make the noise whether there is 60kg or 160kg loaded up.

    Up at 5.30 am and in there for 6am meant I wasn't firing on all cylinders so went for reps for a change.
    Also forgot a bottle of water. Would not recommend

    Just on the barbell rows - and I noticed only because I was making sure I was conscious of bit when I was back doing them myself a few weeks back - when you pull it up, pull it back towards the hip.The reason being that if you row straight up, you'll see your bicep comes into it towards the top...you'll see the angle at the elbow narrows a good bit. That means less lat activation.

    Pulling back towards the hip means the bicep doesn't really take over so there's more lat activation.

    So like nearly drag it up the leg is it? That sort of way if I'm articulating that right

    Yeah that sounds like a better way of putting it. So not straight up but like you said.

    It's not that you're doing it wrong, by the way...just how to get more out of it. I've felt it more in my lats when I really made sure I was doing it

    I did that this morning, I'll stick up the video after work. Felt it a bit more in the back alright rather than the biceps assisting

    Such a bad gym session today. Couldn't even squat at all without getting a pain in my knee from my form. Couldn't deadlift either. Shyte!
