Flex your lower back and keep your abs TIGHT and that should help minimize wobbling. Also at the end of the set, you let your lower back round, which could be a big problem.
Use weight so light that you feel silly, and slowly add. Those weeks of 10+ rep sets while you find a working weight are important help you get better at form.
I see that. thx for your input. Im doing sl 5x5 and im on week 9 right now. Sqwatz = sucks. rows and bench (especially bench) deadlift is progressing well. idk what to do I started extremely light on these, but I dont want to go back doing baby weight lol.
Probably a good idea to drop the weight a little, and let it stay there for a couple weeks. Much better for you in the long run to get form practice on a lighter weight that may be sub optimal, than to sacrifice even a little for to add more weight.
Adding weight at the cost of form isn't progressing; it's setting yourself up for an injury. The number you're lifting doesn't matter; the long term progress does.
man, you're right. how much do you think I should deload?
I'd go a small chunk. Precise term I know... but enough that it would take several weeks to get back to what you just lifted. Probably ~10-20lbs.
For example, I recently realized I was doing my deadlifts wrong. I kept bouncing at the bottom, using a touch and go that made it much easier. Once I started completely letting go at the bottom of each rep, I realized it was
much harder. I switched from 3x5 cheating to lots of warm up then 1x5 the right way. I dropped ~15lbs from my 3x5 weight to get my new working weight, and failed on the 4th rep of my 1x5 (wasn't lying about the much harder). Kept it the same, next week I failed on 5th rep. Last week I hit 5, so this week I'll squeak it up 2lbs, (maybe 4lbs if I wake up feeling extra strong
).
