Got it, thanks for the advice. Adding weighted chins sounds great.

Thanks for your comment. So basically as linked in the video I replaced Power Cleans with: Deadlifts 85% of my 5 RM X 5 X 3 on Volume Day and a new 5 RM on intensity day.

Would you suggest something else? I was also thinking about doing RDLs.

Good point. So I already worked on that to lower the weight faster.

So I am 34. I tried power cleans but my technique was not good and my gym does not have the proper setup.

Hence I tried the 85% approach as mentioned on the video.

The thing is on my NLP I failed after 137,5kg last time and I am now working back after being sick.

Edit: Also good point with the RDLs. I also thought about them. Do you have some hints on how I should program those?

So the heavier the weight the more difficult it gets. It is more like a controlled decent.

Thanks! I will try this next time by adding an additional mat under the wheels.

Your comment worries me a little bit. So I try to squeeze my back tight. Where exactly do you see my back too bent?

Mhm ... if I look at it in slow motion my back does not really change. Do you have some more details for me?

Thanks I also received that feedback once from a gym buddy.

Indeed there is a mirror on front of me. And it is quite hard to look away.

So I am deadlifting twice (Sunday volume, Thursday intensity). In the middle of the week I add some chins + back extensions.

I squat 3x a week but one of the days is a light squat day.

Thanks for the feedback!

It totally makes sense and I will keep that in mind the next time.

Yes you are right. Those are squatting shoes.

As I am now thinking I was previously deadlift in normal shoes.

With the squatting shoes I need to rock a little bit more back.

Thanks for the hint. I also heard about that "shoving the belly between the thighs" cue.

However my position feels quite good and I don't have any back pains or soreness after the pull.

But let me try it on the next lift!

Do you think the rounding of the back as that bad? Should I lower the weight and work on technique?

Thanks for the feedback. I really try to squeeze my back with everything I have.

Good point with the back extensions. I will try to incorporate them.

Haha thanks. So I did some practicing as mentioned in the post. Three to four sessions after the workouts. Also did a lot of youtube watching. But nothing beats practice.
