You do the RDLs strapped?

hehe, Kraut! Prolly not, if a tiny guy like me does Snatch grip deads @ 242 lbs*, why should a ogre like Matt need straps for RDL:s @225 dl.

* almost dropping the bar at last reps, but still..

[mmorton]

Haha nice u!!

I use straps not bc I need them but bc I put all the focus on my heavenlys.

Pro tip.

Definitely this. He's working those blessed beauties...not his grip.

Pretty sure you hit the ground between reps on snatch grip deads. Would've been mirin' 12 rep sets @ 225lbs without straps, but now I just expect more out of Matt's Hams.

set 5 - including for the lulz.. form was turrible but at least locked out

[MakeGoBoom]

lol at super good camera angle on the fronts then arse kicker guy in the squat rack on thelast pull.

back angle looked good for the most part on fronts besides the wobble on the last rep.seeing as that's all the camera angle showed that's all i will comment on. lotta back bend on the pulls, first vid included. for having such beautiful hams you sure do suck at the dead lift

[Anthony21]

Learn how to edit your videos and cut out the 40 second set up


Oh yea welcome back, glad you're ok and strong workout

[mmorton]

Yeah between te sick and fatigue it sort if went downhill. Weight actually felt heavier when I switched to mixed grip.


And my vids are always less than a minute besides this one haha. I don't feel like editing. Sorry ant. Ha

If you want you can always send me the clips and I can edit them for you if you would like, throw some titles on there also, let me know.

same 've been pulling hook almost every lift recently. for some reason mixed grip has made my set up feel gross

[ktj4l]

Fronts looked pretty good. Deads need a little bit of work to put your back in a better position I think. Strong regardless. Just don't go to Snap City.

Thanks. My form isn't always that bad haha. Oddly my back never really hurts afterwards.

You got Wade coaching you too, right? I'm sure he'll tell you what to fix and how, when he sees an issue. I do think your form looked better on previous videos, so maybe it was just fatigue from being sick.

I think switching back to mixed is going to put me due for a deadlift PR here shortly

[FrmrHoss]

He's trying to get more bang for his buck so to speak.

[bmontgomery87]

dat ass.

squats look good just keep those knees out

[NC_Tarheel]

Good news about that groin. You talked to Wade about your attempts on the platform yet??

[FrmrHoss]

Oh no... he's back to squatting real weight. Now I'm in trouble.

[Anthony21]

Good work Matty Ice and glad that groin is coming along, squats look strong.

[mmorton]

Thanks fellas. We haven't discussed attempts yet. I imagine I'll start mid 6s.

Playing it conservative eh?

Mid 6 would be a solid 2AM girl for our resident stud (although his ninja pics have been a little sub par as of late)

[MakeGoBoom]

chest up saves the day again, numbers are on the come up for a ghey

I know. You can't come roaring out of the gate like that and peter down the home stretch.

BRING ME HOME TO THE FINISH LINE MATT.
