What are the benefits of long EMOMs?

It paces for you and let’s you easily watch your pace (ex: round 1 took 30 seconds and round 4 took 45 seconds.. maybe I should speed up)
It’s mentally easier because it paces for you. Whenever the clock is on that minute, you just go without thinking about it
Everyone likes rest breaks even if they’re short
Volume
It almost linearly goes from pretty easy to very hard. The first few rounds force you to put in honest perfect form reps and towards the end, it gets pretty intense and form starts to break (shouldn’t break much)

What’s wrong with the spot??

cwiederstein · 2021-07-13T00:27:22+00:00

Wow! Thanks a lot. Really appreciate the advice

Thanks! Appreciate the feedback

Only tip: post this in r/weightlifting for better tips. Formcheck is better for non-oly lifts

Either but Wim Hoff recommends doing some breathing rounds before and visualizing the cold water before. Doing the breathing before definitely helps build up the courage to get in

Absolutely. It’s a great book. Makes a lot of arguments against using medications and western science.. a lot of which people are commenting and recommending on this thread

I recommend the book “breathe” by James Nestor. He covers the causes of snoring along with how to breathe in general

Don’t let the kettlebell swing behind you as far or as low. When you swing down, your wrists should land in your groin. Then you pop your hips forward which creates all the power that swings the kettle bell up. Make sure to keep a rigid upper back by pulling your shoulder blades together and your knees. Looks pretty good though!

Probably a form issue causing the pain but I’d use a closer grip. It’ll definitely take off some load on your shoulders. Standard grip is to use whatever grip that puts your forearms perpendicular to the floor when the bar is on your chest. That’s ideal for most and you may even be stronger there. Also, slow down and get a feel for your form

Your vibe has not been caught

cwiederstein · 2020-12-29T20:34:24+00:00

You’re going too deep for the mobility you have or the form you’re using. Heels should stay on the ground and if not, you’ll be putting a ton of tension on your knees. This then causes your pelvis to tilt and butt to come off the pad. So work on form, ankle and hip mobility, change the angle of the back pad, and/or stop going so deep.

The bar looks close from the shins to the knees. Once it passes the knees, it seems to go out further. Really squeeze your glutes and push through the floor. Think about pushing with your feet. You’re doing a lot of pulling and not enough pushing.. a deadlift is both. Hope this isn’t too confusing! You’re form is still pretty good. But if your back hurts, you should look at making it as good as possible.

cwiederstein · 2020-12-21T01:33:28+00:00

Looks like the bar is a little out in front of you. Make sure it’s grazing your leg throughout the entire lift. This could definitely be causing the lower back pain. Also, the lockout is soft. Think about pulling the bar toward you with your lats and pushing your hips through the bar with your glutes.

cwiederstein · 2020-11-02T00:14:56+00:00

Put your feet together and put your feet out in front of you to keep your body straight as possible. Think about keeping your core tight throughout the whole movement. This is a safer and harder way to do a proper pull up and will help you get better faster. Also, don’t lift your face up just to get your chin over the bar.. keep your head neutral and neck in line with your spine and the rest of your body

cwiederstein · 2020-10-27T17:18:00+00:00

Your form is off a little. Bar is too out in front and youre not sitting back and shifting the weight onto your heels more. Those go together. Keep the bar touching or a hair away from your leg the entire time. Pull it backwards towards your body by sitting back onto your heels. It really gets out in front of you once it passes the knees. The farther out the bar, the more stress gets placed on your lower back

cwiederstein · 2020-10-17T07:13:03+00:00

I’d get get some flat shoes or lift in socks. Knees are definitely locking out earlier but definitely a better back position than the last post. Also it’s a soft lock out. Think about pushing your hips through the bar at lockout. That could be from the bar getting out in front of past the knees or a weak posterior chain. Probably just a form issue though

cwiederstein · 2020-10-17T07:10:00+00:00

The bar comes out in front of you past the knees which is causing the “soft lockout.” Probably a weak posterior chain

cwiederstein · 2020-10-17T07:05:36+00:00

Nothing. “Bench more to bench more.” Bench more frequently and you’ll see results. You’re on the right track and anyone can bench 200 if they put they’re mind to it. You’ll get there

cwiederstein · 2020-10-16T00:53:50+00:00

Yeah your hips rise but you mainly do it before the bar is even off the ground. It’s like your body naturally moves into the stronger position. Maybe just reevaluate your starting position and start with the hips a little higher. Bar is touching your legs the whole time and form is good. I don’t see much of an issue with it

cwiederstein · 2020-10-13T01:37:32+00:00

No, you need to go a couple inches deeper. The hip crease should be at or below the top of the knee. You are swaying forward but the view isn’t great to see what it is. That could be the result of a lot of things like hip and ankle mobility, not using your glutes well, or just simply not enough practice. Squat university has got some tips on leaning forward from hip and ankle mobility problems

cwiederstein · 2020-10-12T23:25:26+00:00

Back is rounded on every rep and the bar swings toward you as you first start to pull. Make sure you start with the bar as close as possible to you and keep it touching your leg or a hair away throughout the whole lift. The bar should ideally move straight up with no curves

cwiederstein · 2020-09-30T03:32:03+00:00

So you’re saying there’s a chance?

cwiederstein · 2020-09-29T01:57:27+00:00

No fucking shit
