  1. Sumo Deadlift Hips

    A good mental cue is to try and imagine your dunking your balls on the bar.....don't start the pull until your hips are low enough and remember to try and externally rotate your hips so knees are pointing outwards
  2. shoes for powerlifting

    Yeah just the regular converse chuck Taylor's are very a very good all round shoes for powerlifting.....I use them for all lifts I tried doing ohp in my new balance and it felt terrible, really wobbly and unstable
  3. Strongman training in comercial gym

    Can anyone recommend any lifts I could do in my regular comercial gym to help carry over to strongman lifts? I know obviously deadlifts and squats, power cleans. farmers walks with the heaviest dumbells and ohp I figured I could get some of them fat gripz to emulate a thick bar.....but is there...
  4. Which exercise for hamstrings?

    If you don't have access to a decent GHR the stiff legged dead lifts focusing on contracting the upper hams and gluts and the top part of the lift
  5. dc training

    I did dc training for a year or so.....ended up with tons of small injures although I did neglect the streaching portion of the program.....if you do it I'd say do plenty of mobility work and stay away from the machine movements he recommends I found heavy pressing on the smith and hammer...
  6. Bulk or cut!

    Ignore the idea of cutting or bulking for a while.....spend some time learning to eat right and train correctly before you decide to cut or bulk
  7. Upright Rows or High Pulls?

    High rows every time for me.....so long as you've got half decent shoulder mobility they are a far superior movement IMO
  8. training twice a day?

    I tried this for a while when I was working a 24 hour on 24 hour off shift pattern at work.....found the only way I could have enough energy for my 2nd workout I had to eat silly amounts of carbs following workout 1.....too much for me to stomach tbh so I switched over to a full body routine...
