No one believed him anyway. Member 958, 11411 posts SQ 410, BP 215, DL 425 1050.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq	I've been changing my form and trying to get used to keeping a more back friendly position. As you can see, it's not completely dialled in yet from the floor, but it's miles better than it used to be and consequently miles stronger at lockout. Still a work in progress, but these lifts were the best I've ever done, I'm confident from the speed of 310 that there's loads more there and that I should be hitting a new pb soon.

another lover of conans wheel Member 1116, 2379 posts SQ 275, BP 210, DL 330 815.0 kgs @ 134kgs UnEq	looked a lot quicker and easier in the recent vid mate, technique improved. i use a lot of back n not enough legs n hips so am trying to adjust my tech at the mo also

Is partial to the odd bender. Member 6, 10239 posts SQ 280, BP 192.5, DL 317.5 790.0 kgs @ 102kgs Eq	Not sure if your technique has really changed significantly or you've just gotten stronger making the 310 look easier.

Member 194, 3976 posts	Looks really solid mate, its is the sort of hybrid oly style which is probably the most efficient for powerlifting, seems to work well for you so stick at it. Big pull on the way

Tony - take a look at this notice how I just fold over straight away as the bar leaves the ground, I'm looking down my chest is pointing straight at the floor, these are the things I've been trying to fix. My heads up, my chest is pointing upwards enough that you can read the 'Olympic' logo on it, my back doesn't round near as much and as a result, nothing stalls out on me once it gets passed the knees. I have it nailed at 15" and am working on extending it down to the floor but it's not QUITE there yet, but different enough to have made a difference to my lockout.

Big pull on the way Thanks Matt. I agree, this in the middle style seems to be working really well for me. I've tried a more oly style with lower hips but it's just awkward and uncomfortable. I like higher hips to get it moving, so I try to find a position where my hips are as high as possible while still being able to look upwards. Big pull soon - I hope so anyway.

My upper back isn't strong enough to lock out anywhere near what I can get off the floor with an overly round back, but some people can do this. Allowing myself to finish the lift with my hips is definitely the way forwards for me, my 18" deadlift went from 340 to 380 within a week of getting this down.

Long enough to make benching hard but I don't think they're 'deadlift' long. Not like Ian Shaw's or Dave Carter's!

Let's say for example that you're not joking. Any tips? I'm sure it's not perfect!

I don't do any plyometrics, so my jumping is completely down to heavy lifting. Coach's find this impossible to believe and encourage me to not lift heavy.
