Squats 4 Weeks Out From Arnold

Today was awesome, no other way to describe it...  It was the elitefts UGSS.  All the Team Elite lifters that will be competing at The Arnold were there.  This was the heaviest day of our training cycle and there were some BIG lifts made.  Brian smashed 1050 and Chad destroyed 1110.  What an opportunity and I am grateful for the chance to train there.
I wasn't really on with my squats, but I did prove to myself that I can push through the back issues and squat.  I worked up to a PR of 810 and missed it.  The 780 which will be my opener was fast and easy but, I didn't get video of it.  After watching the video it is very apparent that I am not driving out of the hole with my head.  I am just going forward and I cant recover from being that far over.  So for the next couple weeks I will have to really focus on technique or I will have to get way better at goodmornings...
After squatting I had to do everything I could to stay loose.  I stretched, decompressed, rolled, hang, rolled some more...  I had gone to the chiropractor last Tuesday and Thursday and I'll go back this Thursday.  He's working on my hips, they are all out of alignment.
