on the squat- you go down too fast, at the bottom you lose your arch cause of the speed, very dangerous my man, try to go slower and work on pushing knees out and sitting back.

Deadlift- it looks like you are leaning to far over the bar, try to stay tight and back and use leg drive for the first 4-6 inches, help tyhe angle of the lockout

You have GOT to drive your head BACK into the bar. YOU HAD THAT SQUAT!!!! Technique is getting you...NOT strength. You have the strength to do 365 but the form to do 275.

Sumo pulls. Get on top of that bar. You (your upper body) are too far fwd!!!! Sit BACK. Your hips are nearly locked out before you even pull...turn those toes out and get ON that bar!!!!

On the Farmers...start walking AS you pick them up. Don't stand up and get set before you walk...you wasted 3 seconds minimum there. Get moving!!!! Watch your hips and the implements...they should not move up and down at any time.

Thanks B.

That's the kind of feedback I need. I didn't notice that stuff until you pointed them out. Especially on the farmers.

The form on my squat has been a problem for me. I'm gonna lighten the weight in the coming weeks and nail my form down.

Same with the sumo's. Those just flat out feel weird. I have trouble getting the feel for pulling "back". I can "feel" it when I pull conventional, just not sumo. Practice, practice, practice......

Thanks King. I got some work to do......

Sumo pulls feel strange to me too. They look even stranger when Cheese does them though...because his hips are high like yours. You should be in a squat position...

On the squats...try taking weights around 285-300 instead of the 315. You know that you can make 285-300 easily. Work on form with the slightly heavier weights but light enough to where you will not fail.

Good ideas. Thanks.
In about 3 weeks, when I squat next, I'll post videos of my squat with weights in that range. Do you suggest sticking to singles with the lower weights, or go doubles and/or triples?

Same with the sumo's. I'll keep those weights in the 365 range, for singles. That sound about right?

Thanks,
Joker

It take those on squats...if it were me. Single strength is what you want so take some heavier singles every week or so.

Joker you worked hard.

There are a couple of things that I noticed with your 315lb squat.

It appears that you came down into the hole really fast. . when you got there you let the hips come up too fast which shifted the plane of gravity forward (out of line with the hips). It appeared that your back was forced to do all the work, but it gave out.

No problem. . . it happens to all of us. I know you can hit this on a good day.

Your 405lb looked really easy. . .seems like you had another 6 or 7 reps in you.

Overall good effort.

Thanks Louden. Yes, 405 is pretty easy for me to pull. Even with really bad form, it's still easy. But, that bad form follows me to the higher numbers, which makes for misses. Good advice on the squat, too. Thanks.

I've learned more by posting my PR misses, than I have when I posted the PR's that I hit.

Thanks all,
