Deload. It’s boring, but good for me. I even overslept today. Rest, recovery, all good.

I did think about something tho. When the weights get really heavy, my butt comes up first. The weight clears the floor for sure, but certainly I find my hips opening up before they should. I am sure this is primarily a technique issue, but I think it’s also a weak-point. I do not have this problem with lower weights, and obviously the rest of me is strong enough. Again, I do think it’s mostly technique, but… well, it’s something for me to chew on right now.
