When i set up properly with my arch and leg position, I physically cannot raise my butt. This is when i get a lift off. If i try loft myself my shoulders are forced to unpack to gain range of motion...

Thanks. I will probably get a new gym soon if i can find one reasonably close with better equipment.

I will try emulate your technique there to start with.

Yes, i am working on gaining weight....

Hi. I've been trying to overcome this for some time, and i feel like its limiting what i can bench press. maybe i could be a lot stronger if i can figure this out. hopefully someone here who knows...

yes. maybe you will end up in a lighter weightlcass for your height than typical.

Will try get a vid.

I have a small arch, feet are narrow and behind my body quite a bit

I guess i can mess around with this. Donyou think its possible to find a good foot position where i can...

Im going to conpete for the first time soon as i was encouraged by somone who told me i may have a chance to break the national record in bench in my country.

Right now its 66kg class and bench is...

Thank you

Yes but without the absolutes. The only weightclass for 5'9 is 242? That's obviously not true.

Some people the same height can have different frames 9 inch wrists vs my puny 6 inch for example. ...

That 242 lbs is a competitive bodyweight for 5'9

Its not so much the landing too low, its the over tuxning of elbows. Thats if you lift without a shirt though.

Sure its true. For world international competetive people. I dont think the same for natural people doing it recreationally but seriously.

What would be conpetetive for me?

Right now im exactly 148 lbs

Lifts are:
Squat: 375lbs
Deadlift: 375lbs
Bench press: 300lbs

Im still making gains but wont be forever at this weight....

nice. I Haven't ever been above 80kg so i have no point of reference other than when i was around 20% bodyfat back then and felt really off :D
thanks. time to get my swole on mfer. gonna ramp up my...

no. i could become a fat **** at that weight if i wanted. not the goal.

do you find that just getting out of breath when exerting, less mobile or agile in general? or is it not something you...

LOL
The children need to feed me, nevermind!

Srs, it's not my diet lol. I just have really low volume approach to my training. I actually eat about 3,300 calories a day. Have an active lifestyle.

I'm 5'9 @ 67kg/148lbs right now and i was told that i need to gain weight a lot if i want to get competitive.
I agree in that sense. Though my lifts are still progressing. I just trained for low...

this is very true. I don't plan to win, in all honesty(as in, I will compete still even if i don't believe i could net top 3). just would be interested to know how competitive i would be. considering...

I'm 148lbs atm 5'9 and i'm closing in on a 1000lb total. I feel i could have it within a few months of deligent training from here.

Realistically what chances to I have of wining a local meet?

5'9 145-148lbs
