Did you ever see the movie '61 by Billy Crystal about Mickey Mantel and Roger Maris? there's a good line in there about why he only dates girls with small handsGood point. I have hands commensurate with my size, 5’8”.
You’re always welcome to spectate and your word is gospel here!
Haha. I haven’t but can imagine it makes his bat seem bigger.Did you ever see the movie '61 by Billy Crystal about Mickey Mantel and Roger Maris? there's a good line in there about why he only dates girls with small hands

New challenge for the deadlift race
Build it slowly. A few reps every session will go far. Or a bunch of reps at low weight can get ya a good base. Baby steps.I need to work through the discomfort of that. Good suggestion. Im using a thumbless grip on pressing and would prefer a hook grip.
No but I will make you hook gripYou’re gonna make me join Instagram now? The lengths I go for you …
I’d like to start hooking it. I know thumbless is dangerous.No but I will make you hook grip
Bummer was that video private only? Dude was deadlifting on a skateboard
It’s the standard for proper heavy weightlifting like cleans/snatches because you’re never dealing with bigger weights, but it’s not as good as my mixed grip for deadlifts. It has failed me many times, basically whenever I get into high 500s the skin on my thumbs rips off into a bloody mess. Not a grip issue - an actual skin issue.I resisted hook grip for ages cause i thought it hurt and seemed oddly dangerous to be fair. my coach pressured me into it when I kept missing a 210lb power clean. so I said OK OK I'll do it, then set a PR that day at 225 lol. been a believer ever since.
I do try to do my deadlifts as just normal over hand as high as I can but will switch or hook grip once grip is at risk of not making a set.
I definitely am not watching that. Just broke my leg on a skateboard!No but I will make you hook grip

Did you ever see the one with the chick deadlifting in high heels and her ankle snaps? I thought for sure that's what was gonna happen here.I definitely am not watching that. Just broke my leg on a skateboard!
**** man, I had no idea. You’re pretty large for a skateboard, dude. Very daring. I have a long board, and I still manage to fall on my ass when I ride. Gosh that cement hurts!I definitely am not watching that. Just broke my leg on a skateboard!
Thanks man. It really threw me off. I didn’t realize it till I racked the weight. I was like, “damn, this feels heavy for 150.” And then I thought, no way am I getting 7 or 8, lol. Relieved it wasn’t only 150!Haha. I miscount my lifts all the time. Nice job man.
The pup in my profile pic pulls me behind a longboard full speed for her “walks”. I imagine it is quite the sight from an outside view lol.**** man, I had no idea.

Only if you’re doing push press or using too much leg drive. Standing is harder brother. I’m sure you’ll find the same if you do them a few times.I'm certain your press is stronger than mine, seated is way harder imo

Generally I always fall back to Rippetoe on all things powerlifting when doing a form or routine check. When I'm pressing my biggest goal is to engage as much as I can while ensuring my reps are legal if I was competing so from time to time I'll have my buddy watch me for a form check since he competes and sometimes hosts comps.Only if you’re doing push press or using too much leg drive.

That’s all correct, but I still don’t understand how you perceive that seated OHP is more challenging per lb than regular (standing) OHP. I do think seated OHP hits the delts harder, but it’s easier bc it requires less coordination and you can press against the bench and get more leg drive while doing a strict seated press.Generally I always fall back to Rippetoe on all things powerlifting when doing a form or routine check.

when I push press, I am more likely to cheat at times though and end up with a little bit of a push jerk... I don't worry about that too much because in my mind the big thing I'm still getting out of it is explosiveness and the eccentric (which I think is super important)

New challenge for the deadlift race
Great explanation! It rationalizes the apparent conundrum. Thank you!When my OHP was highest I could do more standing because it was coming from more whole body strength assisting driving it through how JR & Benny mentioned. But when my bench was highest, since this past winter as I’ve built the highest static pressing muscle, seated is now stronger.
Basically the more you rely on anterior pressing muscles favors seated, and the more back & lower muscles you can use favors standing.
This is how Anthony Clark used to bench World Records back in the day - 800lbs to be precise. When I was getting into powerlifting, a guy I looked up to locally had done 495 like this in a single-ply shirt at like 220. It’s TOUGH! But super cool if you have a liftoff & spot. Use chalk!Stumbled upon this awesomeness today. Used to do these regularly. Going to resume tomorrow.
