Cuddles said:Really? Do you have a link? None of the Premiership guys that I know have used it as that and that's probably a good thing for them as most would f**k themselves up royally trying! My teacher uses them as a movement screen test for athletes as well; he says it's a good quick way to discover flexibility issues in athletes while taking out a lot of "leverage issues" (some people may appear to have horrible hamstring flexibility in a sit-and-reach test due to limb lengths, but OH squat is easier to tell when it's actually flexibility-related) | |||

| I actually competed with Bernor at my first meet (and by "competed with" I mean lifted much smaller weights on the same platform lol).. freaky strong! | |||

| That's one of the reasons I've been told; could be lack of shoulder flexibility or having back leaned too far forward | |||

Thanks all; appreciate the feedback  . I'll post up another vid when I feel like it's getting a bit lower | |||

| Thanks all . Guess I still need to focus on getting a bit lower. Pete - I'll try the belt a notch looser; I seem to squat better with it really tight though.. next session I'll loosen it up and see what happens. Cheers | |||

| Been working on brining my stance in and getting a bit deeper lately. These ones look ok? p.s. sorry it's sideways - I suck at computers | |||

| It sounds like technique problems - someone who's that much better at reps than singles tends to have a s**tty setup, but get "pulled into" a good one on the following reps | |||

| Sept 27/09 @ NB YMCA Sumo Rack Pull (below knee - hole 2): 45x5 135x5 225x3 315x3 365x1 405x1 455x1 495x1 535xmiss (would've been a 10lb pr, but the rack position is lower than normal and narrower so not too upset by this) +Metal Viking V-Stance: 535x1 565x1 585x1 615x1 (10lb geared pr) Clean Pulls: 5x245x3 Spread Eagle Situps: 4x60x8 (weight on chest) Band Goodmornings: 3xlargex15 -good session; I was pretty mad when I missed that raw pull, but I haven't done any serious raw sumo work in a long time, and the rack was a little "off" for this lift (too narrow so my toes had to be pointed forward, and it was a bit lower than normal) -loving the clean pulls -doing a 3 day course starting Wednesday.. come next weekend I'll be a certified Weightlifting Coach haha. Deffinatly won't be coaching anyone for an oly meet any time soon but it'll be good to know the lifts | |||

Gonna outline my plan going into this next meet in December.. wanna do it differently this time. I'm gonna try and actually get stronger as well as getting good in my gear and "feeling" heavier weights -I hate my training partner in the best way possible hahaha. He's an awesome guy, but I absolutely hate losing to him.. and I lose to him at all pressing movements. I'll just have to get better.... | |||
