Congrats on the GM PR. I need to get with someone and work on my GM form... I am pretty sure I don't have any and have not really lifted with too many people who do them and know how too correctly.

Bet when you do em at a commercial gym you will be told “you aren’t squatting to depth”
True story. I had to walk away as my mind was blown.

Best thing about GMs is there is no one way to do them - depending on goals there’s a million ways. Close/wide/average stance width, excessive arch, flat, even rounded back, huge ROM, short ROM, seated, standing, off pins or chains, with accommodating resistance - even starting as a GM then folding down into a full squat! Plus all the different bars and heights on your back to use.

Clint Darden has a great video about all the diverse ways to utilize them. It’s not a squat or pull; it’s just some variety of posterior hip hinge to target a need.

Regarding the flats, observations?

Tougher for sure, but I think I’ll keep at it this way for now.

I think switching to flats every once in a while is good, and it if nothing else going to increase ankle mobility...

You’re making too big of jumps over 90% on the ME work. You know this tho

Sick press and Williams, btw!!!

Yeah, but bench is typically gravy. My life is just like a bad country western song right now. Eating, rest and recovery are trashed. And to top it off I twisted my ankle last night (not doing anything cool, as per usual) so that sucks. Realistically will not be able to squat and dead tomorrow, but we shall see...
100% would have smashed that last main lift set if I had my life in order. The previous one flew off the shelf like nothing. That’s what I love about lifts, at the end of the day the only person you can point a finger at is one’s self.
