This was the last workout of the past week and I was not able to keep posting due to scheduling conflicts again, hence its tardiness. It's getting very hectic and difficult to manage so many different things at once and I'm at times spread out about as thinly as American Military forces in the sundry wars and bases existent throughout the world akin to, well, like imperial Britain and Rome. Call it my work raj.
Anyway, getting to the subject at hand, here he performed Squats once again. I got a video of him doing his reps during one of his sets. He told me he was not feeling 100% due to being sick, so he cut himself some slack and went a bit easier this time around, sacrificing the short term for long term results. Good for him and a great strategy to follow.
On his squats; he nailed the form for a brief period during his set and sort of fell apart a bit at the 6th repetition. I believe that by stopping mid-set and asking how many reps he had done at that point mentally broke his stride and his form went with it. He recovered it on the last couple of reps though. The cadence or speed does not matter as much as does his form in my opinion. However, you can easily see his propensity to do a quarter of a good morning at the bottom of the lift instead of keep his back stable and still at the right angle and drive with his heels; legs and butt upwards to completion. Nevertheless, you can see it all for yourself below:
As mentioned above, he was not feeling 100% so he skipped on a few things during the workout.

Dan weathered this illness over the weekend and as you will see it affected him early on in the next week where he also took it easy. Too easy on my opinion.
Until next post!
