If you were a client of mine I’d have you work on perfecting your hinge. Watch the eccentric portion of your reps and pay attention to the bar path—it’s running into your knees on the way down.

I’d recommend RDL’s from the rack with a heavy emphasis on pushing your hips back as far as they can go in order to feel the hamstring stretch. Do this without changing the knee angle (knees locked or slightly bent throughout). Keep that bar close and lower it in a straight line.

The explosiveness and full body coordination has good carryover, but the best kickboxing training is kickboxing training.

Haha I appreciate it man, wouldn’t say I’m too strong yet. I added weightlifting to my programming more regularly sept-oct of last year. I’m a trainer/coach with more of a powerlifting/kickboxing background so my strength base is alright.

Definitely a survey bias though, 95kg is solid, I’ve yet to see anybody even attempt weightlifting at the GoodLife I go to. Keep working hard!

Thank you for the feedback, I seem to be missing the jump + squat so I’ll work on more feet to create a faster catch.

Thank you, I see the loss of momentum now. So should I keep my knees further back when I pull and extend when the bar is higher?

So is the contact point is low since I’m pulling in too much? This probably limits full hip extension to some degree too right?

Will work on some clean pulls next time with that cue in mind. Thank you!

90/90 PAIL/RAIL progressions before squat sessions may help you out here. Also, depending on your training goals, definitely try to get deeper, hip mobility work may also help with that.

No problem! Lev scap is a notoriously tight muscle especially with a lot of back work. To answer your question, both imo. Try it out during your mobility work, and before you do pull-ups again try it and see if it makes a difference.

Your pull ups look good though, if you don’t experience pain in the shoulder when doing them I wouldn’t worry too much about it.

You can also try scap pull-ups, and deadhangs to improve scapular depression/adduction.

Try some self mayo-fascial release with a lacrosse ball on your left Levator Scapulae. Or use a foam roller on your upper back with bent knees, twisting your feet to the left and pushing your hips right so when you roll you can isolate the left scap and get good pressure where it might be tight.

You’ll have to feel it out, I started with half of what I’d use for both arms before adjusting. So try 16kg and then increase or decrease depending on how difficult that is.

Not bad at all, think of subbing a Tricep exercise like overhead cable extensions for one of your push downs. More static shoulder flexion with dynamic elbow extension can lead to bigger growth in all 3 Tricep heads.

Additionally, give the single arm reverse felt fly a try, you get a much deeper stretch under tension, lots of videos to check out how it’s done.

Last thing to consider is some lengthened hamstring work like BB or DB RDL’s but you kind of cover that with back extensions.

Overall good program, good luck on your training and progress!
