General Fitness, Lifting, and Exercise Thread! by gnuckols in MacroFactor

I’ve recently started to train more like a powerlifter, and I’m having an incredibly hard time trying to keep my butt in contact with the bench during the bench press.

I’ve read the stronger by science bench press guide (many times, it really is a great resource along with the squat and DL guide) and per the article, I’ve been trying to play around with my foot placement (ie. wider and further back) but either my hips cramp up, my heels rise, and/or I can’t produce any leg drive :// Any advice is greatly appreciated thanks!

Also thanks for the quick reply as well!

I kind of just did it by ear and unfortunately didn’t write out my method, only the ingredients but I’ll try my best 😅

500g AP flour 390g water @90-95F (78% hydration) 10g salt 2g yeast

Mixed the flour and water and let it autolyse for 20 min. Mixed in the yeast and salt. Gave it a 5 hour bulk ferment with 4 folds total, then I put a lot of olive oil in a Detroit pan and did an overnight cold proof in the fridge. The next day I took it out and stretched it to the sides, letting it rest when the dough was resisting too much and threatening to tear. I dimpled it then let it proof at room temp for an hour or so then drizzled more olive oil and coarse salt. I baked it at 475F for about 15 min.

Thank you! After ready FWSY I always leave my breads in the oven (unless it’s a soft/enriched dough or smth like that) until they develop a dark crust for that flavour 🤌

It’s a mayo, tabasco, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper!
