I really might have to change the way that I squat because depth does not come naturally in my current stance, I feel like I should narrow it so that depth comes a little bit easier

Looking strong. The first one wasn't THAT high, and it came it REALLY quickly.

You're squatting in Oly shoes, right? Narrow your stance up a bit. I squat very narrow as well.

Good try man. I thought you were on that russian program? Is it max week already for you? I just finished week 4 of that program.

Yeah, oly shoes, I'm probably going to narrow it a bit so I can get depth easier.

that last few inches can be killer when you are a lighter lifter with not so forgiving squat leverages. sick stuff though for a 190 lifter, hows the pull going?

but to be a bit honest, the squat miss wasnt really to depth either.

[PeonLover]

I'm going to move my stance in because the last few inches are aweful. As far as the pull goes, hit 645x2 last wednesday, going for 7 plates this wednesday.

Last week on an olympic competition bar, this week on a deadlift bar.

[BigWig58]

Looked good to me.

[Newbtime]

good luck with that, a narrow stance usually makes it easier out of the hole. but makes lockout harder. your squat lockout is really strong.


was the meet you competed in that you pulled 625 at using a DL bar? it doesn't look like it, jesus you already sling shot the bar off the ground with a stiff bar... get you a okie and your max attemps will look like speed work, at the lower half atleast haha

[endymion88]

yer lifts remind me of me. i bet we have same leverages about.

[Lager1]

that looked fast as hell, you should easily be able to get those last few inches, nice squat

[kickinthepants]

good job man. first one wasnt off by much. my neck hurts from the vid...lol

[EcksDee]

dude, it seemed like you fell back

you got it tho

no beef, I wasn't the one doin it

damn ..I feel your frustration, but you'll get it

did you hit the rack?

hand hurt?

lol


IMO, the miss was PRETTY close to parallel, if not parallel at all

[Norse1308]

Nice try, I'll give you that. Hit depth as you dumped it

so a trap bar???

so a trap bar???

A DL bar is typically a Texas DL bar. I believe its 7" longer than a standard bar, and has more bend in it. If you are fast off the floor it makes the bottom easier, then whips up to help you finish the pull.

^ doesnt more bend lead to more breakage?

[PeonLover]

The 625 was in fact a deadlift bar, not sure what type though.

My first 645 pull was on a POS YMCA Bar
645x2 was on competition olympic bar (really nice bars)

After I get the 675 pull on Wednesday I'm going to be squatting 3x/week to attempt to get up to a 500 squat below parallel in a form where I don't have to work for parallel, as I feel this will greatly benefit me with the addition of wraps for meets

[ss4vegeta1]

Strong Chest out man while squatting man. Otherwise nice squat strength.

what.

most of the time yes, but the bar i am talking a about is designed for this and strong enough to hold 1000lb DL.
