lol.. Ya i did notice that my knees bent inward but i was barefoot on that lift. How would chucks help? What causes my knees to do that?

 

[b fold the truth]

Knees go in because of weak hips...

With chucks you can try to split the floor outwards, push your knees outwards, and the shoes will hold you into place. Hard to explain...but those shoes help A LOT!!!

ok. I'll get some chucks... what about my hips? Is there anything specific I can do to strengthen them?

 

[spatts]

Sumo deads, rope pulls, seated band presses, kneeling squats...

I just posted pics of most of these on a thread last week. It's around here somewhere...

chucks are god...
anyway, just foool around with the bands and see if you can find something to hit your hips really good.

Nice work

I'm gonna do a tru 1rm on bench tomorrow with the new(non bbing) form and see where I'm at.

First test with closer grip and lower placement got me a 300 during the second week in AUgust.....Tris were just too weak then

I can close grip a one board for that now....should be fun

Thanks Corn..

Good Luck on the 1RM.. Set a PR !

I think my triceps are my weak point. Bar always floats back to my face when the weight is heavy. I think that is becuase my shoulders are compensating for my weak tri's.
