Pretty happy with the trebles, more there. CGBP 60x5 100x5 140x5 150x2 - wanted a treble but it would have been a grinder.

Post Edited: 20.07.2014 @ 00:55 AM by Bim Fatpete said:If you stop that video just on 22 seconds I have a hell of a start position - then I kinda f**k it up rather. Considering the level of f**k-up in that lift I am happier with how it went. Not happy with that level of f**k-up. But that is something to work on for the future. You mean you want to stop your hips rising before the bar leaves the floor? I deadlift similar and have given up trying to stop them rising when the weights get heavy... Oh, nice 260! | |||

Appetite said:Nice deadlifting as always. These sets of 5 sound like hard work. Do you ever consider just throwing wrist wraps on when the grip feels to be going a little? Its something I do a fair bit and its amazing how much easier each lift feels when you aren't worried about grip. At the end of the day you are never going to drop that beautiful eleiko comp bar on the platform. Cheers! The 5's are hard work, the aim is 250x5x5 in a few weeks, I'll have made some really good progress if I get that. I did use some straps a few weeks ago when I had a problem with grip, so yeah, I'll do it if I have to, it just feels like cheating a bit | |||
