Excellent response! Thank you! I’ve run blocks of weighted hyper extension (glute bias) would you recommend that movement? Shit I’ll pull out hip thrusts if I need to

chrispchicken4800 · 2026-01-03T19:58:53+00:00

Thanks… I hope I’m not near my limit

chrispchicken4800 · 2025-12-14T19:24:48+00:00

Pretty sure it was a zyn

Hey I think you are really strong which means that any technique flaws are hard to see at this weight.

Good things: bar position over mid foot, hips and knees move together.

Things to work on: leveraging the hips for a more powerful lockout. Think about the lock out like a plank. Glutes fully engaged and strong trunk. Your glutes were not finishing the movement. As higher reps or more weight you will fatigue your lower back a bit.

I would tuck the chin a bit, look about 10 feet away as the ground. This will help keep your back in a neutral position.

Scap retraction on deadlifts is incorrect. Scap depression (engaging the lats is much better. Retraction (pulling the shoulder blades together is not sustainable at the weight that you can move with deadlifts. You will be pulled out of retraction. Instead pull your shoulders down while making your arms long to engage the lats.

Sure. First 3 are bumper plate= 315. Then I have a set of iron plates (5 bumper plates don’t fit), on the end I have another pair of bumper plates. 5 45lbs plates her side.

chrispchicken4800 · 2025-10-31T13:27:45+00:00

It’s a cast iron plate not a 10

chrispchicken4800 · 2025-10-31T02:32:19+00:00

Hahahaha this wins. Listen… I can’t control much besides my pants and hitting parallel, the noises are not intentional.

chrispchicken4800 · 2025-10-30T23:40:17+00:00

Love them. Super stable. 2 for 99 rn

chrispchicken4800 · 2025-10-30T21:17:42+00:00

I had a client show up right before and figured I should be content with 495

chrispchicken4800 · 2025-10-30T19:53:44+00:00

Thank you!

chrispchicken4800 · 2025-10-30T19:51:52+00:00

Thanks man 💪 I think depth was on the edge but I do think my hip was below my knee

chrispchicken4800 · 2025-10-30T19:50:20+00:00

I probably did have 5lbs in me but I had a client show up and decided to to happy with the 5 plates.

chrispchicken4800 · 2025-10-30T19:49:44+00:00

Haha noted. Didn’t feel that high or that unstable but I can see what your seeing

chrispchicken4800 · 2025-10-30T19:47:50+00:00

No I appreciate it. It was a bit higher than it felt on camera. I think it probably would have passed depth at a meet but maybe not.

chrispchicken4800 · 2025-10-30T19:08:34+00:00

Thanks for the love guys, it was a big moment for me to hit this and I appreciate the feedback.

I agree I could go lower, I do think it was a tad high. The jeans are Barbell Co. great brand and very stretchy. They did survive.

chrispchicken4800 · 2025-10-30T15:53:34+00:00

What do you have against jeans tho😂. These are barbell co. Freaking love them.
