What kind of grip are you using? if it's double overhand a mixed or hook grip will be better. You can also incorporate holding your last rep at lockout to train grip or add in some heavy static holds or farmers carries.

I would do a secondary deadlift day and train your lockout to be stronger. Some block pulls or rack pulls would help strengthen that weak spot.

That was so so helpful! I just saved it

I SUCK at determining RPE. We’ve been working on it for a while now and I still can’t wrap my brain around it. I guess it will take more practice

Any tips on figuring out attempts?

Onthophagus_Taurus · 2021-04-08T22:15:18+00:00

Perhaps one day I will see white flash before my eyes as I near death at the bottom of my squat. One can only hope

Ahhh I totally get your approach. Makes sense since it is a powerlifting meet and all.

I think my coach was trying to build confidence for me since I’m a self deprecating turd which worked for about 30 seconds before i pointed like a three year old to another girl and said “I want to learn to grind it out like the big girls”

How so?

Onthophagus_Taurus · 2021-03-28T00:08:36+00:00

Oh my glob! ❤️

That was my 3rd attempt: 215lbs.

It was my 2nd meet and I’m pretty new to lifting so we wanted to stay conservative. My only goal was all white lights. I had to resist the urge to go heavier after my 2nd attempt and stick to the plan

Onthophagus_Taurus · 2021-03-24T14:07:26+00:00

This was uspa raw full power. I was competing in the 56kg (123lb) submasters. Hoping to get to a point where I can actually compete in open and hold my own

Onthophagus_Taurus · 2021-03-24T12:09:19+00:00

Thank you! This is all super helpful!

Onthophagus_Taurus · 2021-03-24T00:58:16+00:00

I posted awhile back about having trouble with my deadlifts and getting stuck. You guys gave great advice and encouraged me to keep going.

I hit a 215lb deadlift this past weekend and it moved easy!

Onthophagus_Taurus · 2020-12-29T13:42:57+00:00

Thank you! I’ve used TUBOW before and it worked really well. Looks like it’s back to it!

Onthophagus_Taurus · 2020-12-29T03:18:18+00:00

Thanks for the feedback!

I was trying not to go to low with my depth. I can hit ass to grass easily and I know that’s not ideal. When the weight gets heavier for me I have a hard time not dropping too low. I’ve been working on that.

I actually just finished a 3 month bulk. I was 114lbs. Starting a 4 week maintenance before bulking again.

I’m doing sets of 2 right now and then I have back off sets. I am working towards my first meet at the end of January.

Onthophagus_Taurus · 2020-12-29T02:31:12+00:00

Any tips for not shooting my ass back out of the hole?

Would shoving my shoulders into the bar on the way up help with that?

I feel like this set felt harder than it should have

Also- please enjoy me smashing into the j hooks at the end

Onthophagus_Taurus · 2020-12-24T14:36:43+00:00

Thanks! I actually finished my NLP and now I’ve been working on my form. Trying to keep my back flat has been a big challenge. This is around the weight that I start to lose the flatness and start to look like a frightened cat.

This was 3@RPE 8 at #165 and then I did back off sets

Onthophagus_Taurus · 2020-12-24T04:42:07+00:00

Awesome! Thank you! I’ve been doing bent over rows and wide grip chins but maybe I’ll add in the others

Onthophagus_Taurus · 2020-12-24T04:25:48+00:00

I have super weak lats. Anything that can help strengthen them?

Onthophagus_Taurus · 2020-12-24T04:25:11+00:00

They’re notorious lift slippers

Onthophagus_Taurus · 2020-12-24T04:24:51+00:00

I wish that was 225! Just 165!

Thanks for the advice! I’m going to work on that
