I need to do a lot of form videos. It gets pretty bad when the weight is heavy, but once I get these figured out I'm just going to do heavy singles.
While doing these, a female trainer was trying to teach an older guy a front squat-push press complex and he had some obvious flexibility issues. She was kind of flabbergasted that he couldn't do it and another trainer intervened and stated it might be he hip flexors that weren't allowing him to get into position and he should probably try to foam roll those. This immediately turned me into skeptical house as I know it's extremely difficult to roll those spots. Whatever. Old dude continued on in his rope shaking, walking OHP circuit and the next time he got to the front-squat/push-press the female trainer mentioned it again and this time I was paying attention and noticed that the old guy's hips were never in the correct place from the beginning. I opened my mouth and mentioned that it could be an issue with the erector spinae, but these I realized that I don't want to try and give these people advice. When I shut up, the female trainer interjected that when her client foam rolls his lower back it is very tight and it hurts. I just let this go. In retrospect, I prob should've shut up about the erectors and piped up wrt the foam rolling... Damn it.

Pretty meh. Some dude was working in on me with these DL sets and I'm not sure I got the needed rest before the last set. Also, he went to try and pull this... and he didn't get it off the floor.

I was supposed to do a 3rd set and two more exercises, but I just felt like getting out of the gym, so I did.
