Sean's Powerlifting Journey

I may have to give that a shot. I tend to drive off of bit more on my right leg at the beginning of the pull, which is my pronated hand.
 
That elitefts vid DMac posted, he mentioned the slightly wider underhand as a way to combat your body twisting due to the mixed grip

This one? I was digging the advice. And how hyooge he is.
 
Pulls looked like cake, Sean. Birthday cake. MF'n confetti cake. The 475 set looks like hips stayed a tad higher, & stronger, especially rep 2 & 3.

Thanks. Ya rep 1 was a soft lockout. Meh

Hard to tell, man. All the lockouts were swift. All the reps were smooth, you picked up on RPE pretty quickly by the looks of it. I think having to pick weights to hit a certain RPE while fatigued is going to be excellent practice for picking attempts on meet day. I liked the closer stance, but keep messing with it. I also read about the one guy in the manual doing 3 week blocks of ultra-wide sumo, forget what it helped, though.

I ran 1.5 miles in 11 minutes this morning for a PT test. I've magically missed all of our runs since May so I definetly wasn't conditioned for it. Legs are killing me now.
 
It has to have been high school soccer since I ran that far... Sprints for me, unless we're counting hiking
 
I still go all out. Pisses the "typical gym bro" types off when I beat em by 25 push-ups before breaking a sweat. I have T-Rex arms tho, so 75 in a minute isn't too bad for me

I felt the need to box squat. I started to lose the "sit back" cue/sensation. Found it with the box.
 
Strong looking session, and I see you doing occlusion training to get swole.
 
Thanks buddy.

Actually I'm doing it more so for recovery lol Swoleness is just a positive side effect. The days I don't do it, I'm sore, the days I do it, I'm not sore. Plus, it makes my adbuctors feel incredible.

555 was harder than it shoulda been. I sat down on it instead of back like I had been.

Broke skin on my back from the squat bar finally. Woo.
 
Killer squat sesh


Do you think the hammy band would be good for the occoyada stuff? Or the sling shot elbow sleeves?
 
I was thinking about getting a size smaller hammy band that I have now for it. Would be so much more comfortable. 2.5M don't leave a lot of space for your balls.

I was concerned about quad development being hindered if squatting wide. Found this article. Invalid Link Removed

Louie has been saying that for years concerning stance width and quad activation. That being said, it's rarely a quad strength problem that holds back someone's squat. It's all about the ass.
 
I agree with you Guys and the article. I squat decently wide, but looking at olympic lifters and tom platz, they squat narrow and their quads are hyoooogeee
 
Exactly. I just don't "feel" my quads being used like they would be for front squats or moderate to narrow stance, so it's nice to see that they are activated just as much.
 
And then it occurred to me that this girl scout wasn't a girl scout at all, but a giant crustacean from the Paleolithic era!
