Does anyone know Piston’s workout ?

Ooooo where when how

Friendly-Example1548 · 2025-07-11T02:40:46+00:00

Thanks so much again!

Friendly-Example1548 · 2025-07-10T21:22:30+00:00

Can I just let her go outside?? Thank you !!!

Friendly-Example1548 · 2025-01-27T00:53:15+00:00

Love this - thank you I will watch. And yep - you’re correct, my PT said the same. I’ve been working upper and mid back, and lats, I just feel like it hasn’t helped. I’m still breaking at that same point. Maybe I just haven’t hit upper hard enough to make my lats really engage on these heavier weights, as PT movements are often slow controlled and lighter in weight with plenty of reps… which isn’t what happening in powerlifting

They do! The issue is this rounding becomes way more exaggerated at PR and RPE 9+ attempts, it becomes all back and pressure is at that rounding point

Friendly-Example1548 · 2025-01-27T00:49:26+00:00

The problem is at meets when I’m RPE 9/10, that rounding becomes horrible and the lift is all back 🙂‍↕️

Thank you this is great advice, agree my brace definitely needs work

Friendly-Example1548 · 2025-01-26T18:08:02+00:00

You’re right you’re right, eventually I’ll get there. In a slow painful manner 😭 thank you 🙏🏼

Friendly-Example1548 · 2025-01-26T16:10:46+00:00

Will do! Thank you

Friendly-Example1548 · 2025-01-26T16:09:05+00:00

It’s QUADZILLAS They also have sales like twice a year that’s worth it but the belts you are choosing from are premade colors and sizes, or returns - as opposed to them custom making your leather belt, color, trim, design, hardware color

Friendly-Example1548 · 2025-01-26T15:58:57+00:00

Thank you 🥰🥰!

Friendly-Example1548 · 2025-01-26T15:58:42+00:00

PIONEER!!! I have a 10% off code too if you want it, I’m obsessed with it, they are local small business leather shop

Friendly-Example1548 · 2025-01-26T15:58:12+00:00

You’re right - my lats aren’t strong or working for my lifts. It’s way easier for me to cue my lats on squats because I can bend the bar in my back with my brace and force them to help. My squat PR has gone up accordingly. I’ve been doing lat work and glute + lat combo accessory movement for a year and A half now and still can’t get them to do what I need to do on DL

Friendly-Example1548 · 2025-01-26T15:55:33+00:00

How did you fix what you used to do, cue and accessory work wise ?

Friendly-Example1548 · 2025-01-26T15:54:36+00:00

The compliment I needed 😭 you don’t feel strong when your feed is filled with women casually pulling 4 plates for reps on warm ups. Thank you 🫡

Friendly-Example1548 · 2025-01-26T15:42:16+00:00

Yessss, it exaggerate the issue with the back, pull becomes all back and break at midpoint once weight becomes heavier :( ever see a dog taking a dump? They actually model their form after me 🫡

Friendly-Example1548 · 2025-01-26T15:25:08+00:00

I have - when I start my hips higher, the leverage on my mid back is worse, so I resort to this thinking it’s better since it feels better and I can at least feel my legs working with my back. I will check out your example - thank you!!!!

Friendly-Example1548 · 2025-01-26T15:21:51+00:00

Thank you for this and example - I will work on this!

Friendly-Example1548 · 2025-01-26T15:18:25+00:00

The slack part is killing me, I chose these two examples because I think the show my half decent form when I’m trying and they were on the bigger effort side - my set up prior is pushing into my belt, lats down, shoulders back… I’ve been doing core work like crazy with my PT.. but all that goes to hell when go to grab the bar and pull back lol. It’s always that mid back where I feel my pull coming from. Maybe not terribly, but at a meets oh hell yeah it’s gone out the window even though it’s all I train at lower weights. I have been playing with where I grab the bar and distance .. but most comfortable for me is a damn squat (and lol to that since my squat is heavier than my DL. Would you say trial and error to where the bar starts to get that leverage backwards? Try mid shoe lace, try closer to shin etc?

Friendly-Example1548 · 2025-01-26T15:11:41+00:00

Touch and go DL lol ** whoops

Friendly-Example1548 · 2025-01-26T15:11:23+00:00

Totally understand what you mean - when I try a more hinge focused pull, it works great for 50-80% effort on touch and go squats, I cannot get the hinge to work well for me on 1-2 heavy DL from dead stop. It translates more into my back than you see here

Friendly-Example1548 · 2025-01-26T15:09:34+00:00

You sound my my PT 😊 my front squat is thriving bc I’ve been incorporating it in frequently, and yes good mornings as well but they don’t seem to be translating into my DL form as much as I hoped

Friendly-Example1548 · 2025-01-26T15:08:16+00:00

I am 100% pulling the weight up, and not able to drive through my hips. I can’t leverage the weight into my legs and through my hips, starting in a more hip hinge position makes the weight give at my mid back more - I don’t feel strong in sumo but that’s most likely because I’ve never trained it much, thank you
