Tom_Martin said: Hmm, interesting... fancy teaching me? Those pussies don't know what a tight suit is, not one of them! Come down when I'm there, there are secret methods for getting in and out. They refuse to learn these specialist arts... It offends me how loose they wear their suits....  | |||

IainKendrick said:Decent enough assistance lift. Never noticed much carryover to my squat or deadlift. Most people find they carry over to equipped squatting the most. | |||

Post Edited: 11.04.2011 @ 16:33 PM by John_C Titan Super Centurion.Single ply with your strength and you shouldn't have problems with a tight fit either. Edit: Wide stance version. Regular stance is just for people that squat shoulder width stance as far as I can tell. | |||

bigbadbish said: Having said what I said above, I'd agree with this, though the caffeine dose is very dependent on how tolerant you are. Best bet is to start with one cup of coffees worth - 70-100mg and see how that feels. Starting with upwards of 250mg seems pretty heavy duty and tolerance will build up faster. The less you can use the better imo.Uk sport often bang on how no supplements are "safe" and that athletes use them at their own risk  My advice would be to save your money and just use caffeine (i was previously told 4-6mg per kg of bodyweight) | |||

| I don't imagine there are many that aren't safe. The only thing in a pre-workout drink likely to be banned is some kind of stimulants and the vast majority use (legal) caffeine and other legal things. Best bet is to google all ingredients and of those that are stimulants, check closer on the ban list if you aren't sure. | |||

| Another thought. The side view will help, but I've got a feeling your upper back is rounding forwards. That can't be a strength issue, surely. A few cues that help me when I do this: elbows drive forward, arch as hard as possible, chest upright as possible. This rounding is different to forward lean. Watch how Andy manges not to round here: http://youtu.be/be6dk8ZVO7E Do you see what I'm getting at? | |||

Post Edited: 07.04.2011 @ 20:58 PM by John_C THIS was in, what's changed since then?http://youtu.be/ZYBVDmHDCHU FWIW I don't think you are far off. A better angle would certainly help. Any view from the side you can get as close to hip height as possible. | |||

Tom_Martin said: Nice one, thanks.Riain took a video of one of my warm ups on 120kg I think. Sadly it wasn't on his phone. Maybe he could find it in his heart to aquire the video... If not, I'll be warming up with these tomorrow before suiting up, maybe I'll bring my camera in... | |||

Tom_Martin said:you've got to be kidding.... how do I achieve this amount of carryover... I think true carryover figures are hard/impossible to deduce because most people sacrifice strength in one or the other through training for one or the other.Just another thought to complicate matters.  | |||
