I don't know how to leg drive, hence the attempt. Ass came off on half, the other half went up smooth.

Well that sucks. Hopefully something clicks soon for you. I think it's all about how you set up

 

[NomZ]

Well that sucks. Hopefully something clicks soon for you.

I've never really commited to trying to master it, would always just try a few times then give up. My bench is pitiful, why not try everything.

 

[rob112]

You benching flat footed still? If so the "lift your toes" que helps me. You don't actually lift it though, just forces the pressure on the heel. And for me(and I am pretty sure I'm shorter than you so may not work) is I set up so that I am squeezing my glutes/hams before the rep starts...this way I can't contract and lift...I'm already contracted hard and ass is touching.

I'm obviously not very skilled, but figured there is a some chance I could help some. Also, I think your boy Dan Green explains leg drive best on the youtubes.

Thanks, any and all help is welcome.

Typically I'm flat footed in oly shoes. Today I tried on my toes in oly shoes and that semi-worked. I get what you're saying about pre-loading, I was doing that with my quads and glutes. Part of the problem is poor hip flexibility that needs to be remedied.

I'll probably train there soon to get a session on the Texas DL bar, might see if I can get some help from him.

 

[herderdude]

Rob speaks the truth. Green is the king of all leg drive, the more speed you get off your chest, the less you have to worry about lockout.

Awesome squats, dude. Looks like your hips fished around a tad in the beginning but outside of that you look pretty damn sturdy.

Awesome squats, dude. Looks like your hips fished around a tad in the beginning but outside of that you look pretty damn sturdy.

Indeed they did, not sure what the exact cause was bc everything felt fine, erectors were just sore. Depth could have been a tad deeper on the 495, but I won't complain with a +2 rep PR.

Awesome ****ing work!

 

[Sean1332]

Oh, and good call on using the bumper weights for the back extensions.

 

[NomZ]

Awesome ****ing work!

Thanks. Sumo form wasn't on point today, forgot a few of my usual setup cues (mainly lat flare before reaching for the bar), and was trying to get into setup quicker and use some stretch reflex.

Oh, and good call on using the bumper weights for the back extensions.

Yep, made it the perfect height and easy to drop. Back pump was awful after everything.

 

[herderdude]

DANG! Awesome pulling!

 

[smoker145]

Sick pulling man. Very impressive

 

[rob112]

Dat pull though

 

[jimbuick]

Do your hips always rise like that before the bar moves or is that just from the technique issues you already noted?

Thanks guise, ain't nothing but a peanut.

Do your hips always rise like that before the bar moves or is that just from the technique issues you already noted?

Typically they do as I'm weak off the floor, especially on near-maximal and maximal pulls, but today was worse than it should have been as I noted.

 

[CountryLiftin]

Nice work today. Don't you hate those days that just don't click or you don't feel all there? I look at those as character builders. You make yourself kill it on those days, when it comes to days you feel on or meet day, you really know how to bring it.

Thanks. Today I was pretty ON, just my form wasn't on point as it could have been due to not thinking. The 545 and 605 triples were both PRs, so I cannot complain there. But I completely understand what you're saying.

**** session. No warmup and rushed.

Worked up to 465x2 wrapped, 505x1 and failed 2nd rep due to back tightness lost, didn't want to grind it so bailed. Should have been a heavy triple.

Erectors just weren't recovered from Tuesday deadlifts and soft tissue destruction last night.

Felt light on my legs and I'll come back to crush 515x2 next week.

 

[Sean1332]

Sucks man. You'll get it next week.

Ya I had to get keys to a new apartment, then get to work after, right when my usual workout is.


****ing long day...

 

[NomZ]

Woke up today feeling like I ran a marathon...so training today wasn't looking good.

Yesterday, moved apartments, which included moving 4 full size couches and 2 apartments worth of stuff into 1 apartment. I did 70% of the lifing and transportation. Barely ate anything either, just had a fat Chipotle burrito and 3 meat plate from Dickies.

[rob112]

That's looks like a good bad day NomZ. Rest up!

 

[herderdude]

Fuuuuck you on that bad 555x3! Lol. In all honestly, pull back a little and get yourself back on track, brother. No need to keep headbutting the wall.

Lol thanks brah, just know I have way more in me, sucks to underperform.

525 for singles likely next week. Deload, then compete.
