I'm guessing 22 inch will put the bar above your knees? Personally I think starting below the knees is always a good idea, that way by the time you get to your sticking point you will most likely be in the same position if you had pulled it from the floor. You could get really good at 22 inch, but then when you pull it from the floor you might find yourself in a totally different body position when the bar gets up to this point.

One other thing I noticed, before you start the pull the bar is a good 4 inch in front of your shins. I'm not sure if this is definitely the best way for everyone, but I think it's better to start with the bar actually touching your shins, and really rag the bar into your shins all the way up. The further away from your body the bar is, the more work your back has to do. Starting closer may help you get in a better position right from the start.

Starting off with a less rounded back is a bit of a 2 sided thing. For me, the heavier weights completely defeat me and force me into rounding my back or they won't move. But if I can round my back a bit less and still get it off the floor, the lockout is easier.

Or you could just f**k that off completely, and just get ridiculously strong at lockout so it doesn't matter. I like the sound of that one a bit more...

Cool, you'll notice a difference. Moving the bar further out is the kind of thing I'd do if I wanted to make straight legs a bit harder off the floor or something, not ideal for 1rm attempts.

Lockout work is good. If I could set it up, I'd rather do reverse band deadlift than rack pulls so you still work the whole range of motion, it just gets harder at the top.

Another thing to think about, where the bar stalls out isn't necessarily the weak spot. Think of a car braking, where the car stops isn't where it started breaking. Same with deadlift, you most likely have a weakness before the point where the bar stalls out. I like 19" and 15" for lockout work, if you can develop more speed in the midrange you'll have the momentum to keep the bar moving higher up.

Well done with the 140 bench and unlucky on the 2 attempts with 145kg sure it will be there in no time and you will get that record you want too!

sunday went to milton keynes for the british raw bench championship really wish it could be held at a venue that isnt so far to drive to maby birmingham or somewere central

warmed up to a paused single 130

opened with 140kg good lift was held for about 4-5 seconds before start command and about 4 seconds before press command wich is ridiculas

145kg failed almost pressd it again long holds really fink i could of got this with better commands

145kg failed brought the bar down to low and had no chance

finished on 140kg still good enough to win the u23 82.5kg title . very pleased with a 5kg compertition pb , well done to all liftersHappy
