Notes - Another mixed bag. Squatting was terrible. I had an acupunture / bodywork appt yesterday and he did a ton of work on my adductors and frankly it just made squatting today damn near impossible.  I couldn't get deep, bar was moving, knees a little forward, really frustrating. Some technique changes are good, some bad.  I think moving my eyes around has been terrible, I will not do that again.  I need to fixate on one spot and keep it there. I did this to try and "open the chest" at the top before starting the squat, but its not working.  On the other hand, got a bench PR, that was cool. So it was kind of a good week for upper body, OHP PR and bench PR. My squat sucks right now.
