Nice work on the PR. I bet with a little form tweaking you will hit some much bigger PRs. On your 525, when you grip the bar you start rocking back and forth, kind of sitting back, looking forward/up with your chest kind of up, then up, then back down again. When you sit back like that, that is how you should start your pull. Straight arms, and going back it will kind of feel liek you are prying the bar up with your hips. http://youtube.com/watch?v=VRJqBqIbNtMthat is my training partner. He hitched it but had a rediculous pull off the floor. Just think of it like a squat form. they are nearly identical.
ReplyDeleteYeah, my goal is to be able to pull it from that stance (hence the rocking back) but sometimes my hamstrings and lowerback just take over. Usually when attempting a new max my form goes all over the place. I'll be concentrating on it on my next pull.
ReplyDeleteVery awesome. I had to cringe at the rounded back, which would probably be rectified with those form adjustments, but at that weight, it's pretty much whatever it takes. Hell, not cringing takes all the fun out of watching lifting videos.
ReplyDeleteStill freaking amazing weight. Good job on the deads. Looking forward to what you can do with better form.Jesus reko, that WAS an amazing pull from floor to knee.
ReplyDeleteGotta agree with PPP, your back was definitely too rounded. Again agreeing with PPP, though, the form adjustments would probably fix it.Great job!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't say it was "too" rounded, because I was still able to make the lift, haha.
