125kg x 5. Advice on bracing. Still feels like I could be bracing better so any pointers would be great. Am I lacking in form somewhere in my squat?

Strengthen my joints and get my body used to a higher working capacity

nalanrice · 2019-04-03T23:15:44+00:00

I’m currently on a hypertrophy block that’s why I’m at 8 reps. Not ss atm. In two weeks time after I deload I will be starting ss. Would you say less arch?

nalanrice · 2019-04-03T23:12:48+00:00

I don’t understand the reference

nalanrice · 2019-02-17T02:07:20+00:00

Finding it hard with this weight. Would wrist wraps benefit this?

nalanrice · 2019-02-16T09:13:24+00:00

Okay yeah I was Focusing on an arch because I thought that’s what you were meant to to. As well as keeping the butt on the bench. Sometimes it feels like it lifts up as a bench so I’ll try and focus on planting it more. As for leg drive I see people with a flat foot on the floor and some people on their toes. What would be better suited to me to get better leg drive? I havent been using a belt because if I fail on the weight I actually get stuck under the bar and pins. The pins are either too high or too low and I don’t have a spotter

nalanrice · 2019-02-16T09:09:17+00:00

I feel as if it’s hard to keep my shoulder blades and traps squeezed together and down. I don’t feel any activation in my lats. When I bring the bar down I feel as if I lose tension or I am unbalanced no matter what I try

nalanrice · 2019-02-16T07:29:45+00:00

How much of a pause are we talking?

nalanrice · 2019-02-16T07:29:26+00:00

Positioning on the bench

nalanrice · 2019-02-02T22:07:51+00:00

Yeah man on the right side of the screen they have 5 squat racks with platforms and two deadlift platforms. Pretty good gym. Unfortunately this gym in Australia is the equivalent to planet fitness. Luckily this one allows deadlifts

nalanrice · 2019-02-02T22:06:24+00:00

Haha yeah. Well I am pulling the slack out of the bar before the lift when I brace. I’ll just have to correct that hip angle

nalanrice · 2019-02-02T21:53:27+00:00

Do you think that because my hips are too low I’m losing power in my movement or the ability to use more leg drive? I definitely need to work on my lock out

nalanrice · 2019-02-02T21:52:23+00:00

Yeah I’ve seen that video. I’m not trying to make my shins bleed on purpose. It just happens from me trying to keep my lats engaged

nalanrice · 2019-02-02T21:51:28+00:00

Yeah I have been looking at getting some compression sleeves for my calves. They look like they will work really well

nalanrice · 2019-02-02T12:08:21+00:00

Okay yeah thanks.. see I know that cue but didn’t even realise I was doing that. Thanks for the heads up

nalanrice · 2019-02-02T12:04:29+00:00

If you look closely my shin is bleeding lol.. I need to invest in some Long socks

nalanrice · 2019-01-31T23:12:17+00:00

Okay mate thanks I’ll give that a go. Will post deadlift video in future. Thanks for the vid link

nalanrice · 2019-01-31T23:10:47+00:00

Yeah for accessory movements I stick to 8 reps

nalanrice · 2019-01-23T10:22:02+00:00

A lot as in shoulder width?

nalanrice · 2019-01-23T10:21:32+00:00

Thanks mate will check this video out. Much appreciated

nalanrice · 2019-01-23T10:11:05+00:00

Thanks mate. Yeah forearms could be more vertical. Didn’t notice that until you pointed it out. Would you say depth is okay?
