Got some tips from a well respected powerlifter. As you come down try to get your weight on the outside edge of your feet. Keep em flat obviously. Then when you burst up Push on the outside of your feet. Incorporates more of your leg muscles and prevents your knees trying to touch. I went light 100 for reps couple sessions just to nail technique, great results just after 2 sessions. Good luck mate Thats pretty similar to the advice another powerlifter gave me to clean up my form actually. Pushing up on the outside of my feet sounds like a great cue to keep my knees out though. Cheers !

jerking is obviously great, Member 2521, 5090 posts SQ 240, BP 160, DL 290 690.0 kgs @ 111kgs UnEq	kirkynick said:Good work mate on the deadlift, bench and push press pbs. How come you don't revert to hook grip when the weights get heavier? You have a good grip, so I wouldn't think it would be much of a problem for you. I train above a nursery school. the children must crap themselves when i do deadlifts. I do try and control the weight though... but I sometimes forget LOL Cheers. I've never tried hook grip, always do my warm ups doh, and then mixed grip + chalk for the work set. My thinking is that by doing the warm ups doh it allows me to train my grip more, which will come in useful for farmers walk and other grip dependent events. I don't pretend to know a great deal about hook grip but I can't imagine it would have much carry over to general grip strength because you basically use your thumb as a strap with hook grip no?

I can actually, usually, use DOH for those as well, but i just prefer hook grip. I son't like mixed grip at all, due to the chances of tearing the biceps and the twisting involved. Some perople do use hook grip for farmers, although most don't. I've never had a worry about the safety of mixed grip tbh, i know a lot of people that do it and don't tear biceps, but i guess a minority do.. Might have to give hook a go

jerking is obviously great, Member 2521, 5090 posts SQ 240, BP 160, DL 290 690.0 kgs @ 111kgs UnEq	Bench: 52.5 kg x 8 65 kg x 5 80 kg x 5 92.5 kg x 5 105 kg x 5 Felt good for a 6th, but my schedule means I'm benching in 2 days, so didn't push it too hard today, just got the required reps only. Squat: 70 kg x 5 90 kg x 5 110 kg x 5 130 kg x 3 Felt like dog s**t so I racked after 3, was reverting back to my old form 130 kg x 5 - Better 140 kg x 5 Not brilliant 145 kg x 5 Didn't feel anywhere near as strong as 142.5 last session, need to remember to push knees out, big breath, not round lower back. Power Clean: Got some good advice from one of the PT's on this, need to focus on not popping the hips until the bar breaks knee level. Felt quicker once I got the hang of it 50 kg x loads 60 kg x loads 70 kg x loads Pull ups: BW x 11,10,5 Chin up: BW x 6 1 hour 45

A 105 St Ives would be great to compete in, and its probably best it isn't till next year as that gives me a while to get my numbers / bodyweight up Yeah being going good, deadlifts going especially well I feel. We must be pretty close on strict press though?
