impressive effort. Did you learn a lot? Any new views on your technique or strengths/weaknesses? I am always interested to hear what kind of set ups and techniques the best lifters are using

half hammock ??(some exercise lou had me to for my glutes, you lay on the ground, put your feet on a bench and flex your ass to lift you off the ground, and hold it) i did 10, 10 second holds with a plate on my baby maker area for added resistance.

well im still trying to gather my thoughts. but overall im impressed with bill c, honestly, and this isnt a knock on bill, if you saw him on the street you would never guess he lifts weights, let alone benches 785. i watched the man double 700 easy, then do an easy 730, hes freaking strong. obviously something those guys are doing is working! i actually kinda liked the setup with the arch and bringing my feet back under me, i felt like i got the same leg drive doing it that way, as i have with my feet spread out and forward, the arch cut some inches off my bench stroke, and my back didnt feel all that bad, it was sore though from holding the arch tight, and i pulled a pr rack pull today, so i dont think it messed my back up all that much
. im not going to drop off and train exactly how the MM guys do. what ive done so far has taken my very far and im not ready to put it aside, becuase i am still making excellent progress with it. BUT, i am going to do more of the things they do, like shirt work, im going to try and work more high rack lockouts, and im going to do boards the way they do them more often to help with my technique. i am going to try and learn more about how they do things, and how i can make them work with my training.

ya gotta love louie!!!!....lol
i have done those before, i just made them up, i used to do them precontest for bodybuilding becuase i felt it a lot in the glutes.
and i still do it now to loosen up my back if it gets tight during training......... but never with weight though.
congrats on the pr man, you a very big strong man whose younger than me.

sounds like that shit motivated ya brotha. you have to have an open-mind in this sport to succeed i think. and opening yourself to new ideas and trying new things is the only way i think to be one of the best in the sport and my friend your already on your way there!! tb
