Re: Powerlifting Journal of Redbuthotterlol I've got no second pull. Got any tips for how to fix? Don't even know if theres a point to going heavy on squat cleans till I know how to pull.(Original post by Becca)
Got a lot of arms going on there...defo need to pull the bar more into your body and get the triple extension.
You're so bloody strong, though. -

Re: Powerlifting Journal of RedbuthotterSquatting heavy on sunday. FS only though, gonna focus on FS's a bit more now, throw in some occasional low bars but not too much.
Plan is to 3rm on FS up to 150-160 then hop onto smolov, acquire 4 plate FS. Profit?? -

Re: Powerlifting Journal of RedbuthotterSounds good, I'm loving FS atm. Wouldn't mind a 2 plate FS, need to get that in back squat first though.(Original post by redbuthotter)

Err, keep arms as straight as possible but don't tense them too much (I am terrible for pulling with my arms), maintain a nice flat back (seems like you were doing this though). Think speed/acceleration past the knees and really try and engage the lats (I find thinking this helps me extend properly). Keep the bar as close to your body as possible. They are all the tips/cues I have been given.(Original post by redbuthotter)

It's also massively connected to your 1st pull - in that you need to be thinking about maintaining back position and really using your legs - getting your bum a bit lower in the start position and not letting it come up to fast will help this. You probably want your shoulders slightly more over the bar than in a deadlift, a bit more aggressive stance. -

Re: Powerlifting Journal of RedbuthotterHmmm I think my problem could be back related - I havnt straight back pulled for a while and once I pass my knees my back is a little rounded ****ing up hip drive perhaps? I'm not sure, but yes I cannot explode well once it passes the knees(Original post by Becca)

yeah same... I really dunno why people keep bitching about how its uncomfortable to rack or it hurts their wrists/elbows. Been pretty natural for me. The one position I hate is jerk or push press rack - thumbs around the bar and elbows down... find that awkward. But 3 fingers on is piss lol

Re: Powerlifting Journal of RedbuthotterFront squat:
60x3
100x2
110x1
120x2
130x3
135x3PR (fairly hard)
Tried a 135 BS too... slightly uncomfortable. Not too bad for 1st post back injury squat workout and 2 weeks off though.
High hang clean high pulls with knee rebend - using straps (does this make sense? lol)
60 x 5 x 5 - pretty fun. Basically a bit like a hip clean but with slightly more dip just working on hip drive, pulling high and diving slightly so bar reaches throat.
Low row:
40x10
50x10x3
Need to so more lat release/activation, these were ****
High rows:
30 x 10 x 3
Curls. -

Re: Powerlifting Journal of Redbuthotterthey looked easy!, i'm doing my fronties paused atm, just so i don't cut depth, but my shoulders fatigue quite a bit when i do fronties, i'm not holding the bar it's resting on my delts(i literally grip bar with like 2 fingers. Is this just a case of getting used to it?
dat der maxi-raw shirt! everyone has one lol.

Re: Powerlifting Journal of Redbuthotterlol ty, its still light vs what I was able to do last year... seems that I will be focussing on oly and FS's now... (not out of choice lmao).(Original post by Becca)
Insanely fast and explosive reps!
If only I had a pull like yours so I could actually use my FS strength... srsly the pull from the knees to the "pocket" or explosion point is a mystery to me. Just gonna circumvent that problem why just pulling from the pocket and doing cleans and high pulls from there for a while.
Erm they were ok, the 135 felt heavy as fook. Yeah paused is a good idea although really depth shouldn't be ambiguous if you have the flexibility to go rock bottom. Yeah its literally just getting used to it... I grip with 3 fingers and it feels very natural - having said that I did smolov for front squats in 2010 so I've a fair bit in the past.(Original post by Gallium)
