Funny how your rack pulls are way lighter than your deads. I guess that's the tight back issue. Not bad at all though considering you're suffering.

Ha that sounds quite funny. What height are you working at? Might be worth working a bit higher and a bit lower. Do you have access to any bands? Reverse band deadlift are fun.

I think its slightly to high as its right at the top end of my sticking point so might drop it a bit lower. Thats one of the things the gym doesnt have is a selection of bands unfortunately.

My lower back is still a bit tight but the squatting went a lot better at the lower weight, i moved the bar back up slightly and tried to stay a bit more upright which felt a lot better. Power cleans and viking press all felt good pressing is starting to improve.

Nice lifting mate. Squats looked easy but it's "grumpy squat face" that makes it for me. Good luck in the interview.
