Dips BW 8X4 ~ Doing these on one breath now. Bumping to 9X4 after tomorrow.
Dips everyday seem to be making me stronger for bench. 2.5lb bump, but all sets felt much better than last week. Pauses were never a question. This is actually now a full 85% of my latest paused 1RM from the June 9th meet.

Taking a cue from the Russian women, many of whom look up from the start of the squat. I've been trying to iron out bar path out of the hole, where at least one rep on most sets i get a little forward, not good morning forward, but not perfect either.
Looking up definitely fixes this for me. I just need to get used to it, as it affects my bracing.
I'm sticking with it though. There is a dramatic improvement even though i'm not 100% comfortable yet with it.
First rep i started looking forward, then up, but i'm going for looking up from the start.
Still not perfect, but immediate improvement.

I pulled back on the extreme looking up, at least for today. Easier for me to get loose doing that, as i did on one of my warmups. As mentioned, felt a bit whimpy today, so i scrapped new technique, and it worked out ok for my single.

Not shown on this single, but on the worksets, i started not dropping my hips quite as much.
I get a little hip rise with my set up as it is. It's just a matter of a couple of inches at most.
Maybe even just one inch.

Most of the sets have four straight up and down bar path reps, and one where i get my little twist, or kick, forward.
I'm getting there with this. Four out of five is a definite improvement.

Working on not dropping my hips as much on set up. I adjust last moment here, but on worksets i did it from the start.
I can finally really feel the "push the feet through the floor" cue. Torso rise is unified.
It was just an inch or two at most, but it makes a big difference.
