I can do pistol squats with my right leg, but not with the left. When I press/push press/bench it's even though. | ||

I think it'll still take some time getting used to squatting in them though. Especially front squats felt really awkward. | ||

I've spent the last couple of months trying to fix some technique stuff (uneven catch on snatch and clean, leaning forward too much on squats, footwork on snatch, etc). Some of them have become better, my catch on the snatch looks a lot more even now, at least most of the time. But I can't fix it for cleans and front squats. I don't feel it during the lift but it looks awful on front shot videos. I guess it's a muscular imbalance? I can't quite pin point what it is though. Help? This is just a front squat but the same thing happens when I clean, to a lesser degree maybe but still it hurts my chances of making the jerk. Unrack: + Show Spoiler + Bottom: + Show Spoiler + Recovery: + Show Spoiler + Do some isolation work till you find out what it is. It's probably going to be something in your hips, core, or rotator cuff. You're probably just not naturally activating something you should be or it's really tight and compensating accordingly. Yoga is great for identifying this shit. | ||

I think you can tighten up your walk out a lot. You shouldn't be taking 2 or 3 steps back with close to 600 lbs on your back. You want to be able to do 1,2 steps back from the rack with your feet in the same spot all the time. Walking back without sure footing with that much weight can wipe you out before you even do the lift, and can be dangerous. | ||

Monday: Volume Day A. Squat: 5 x 5 @ 90% of 5RM B. Bench Press or Overhead Press: 5 x 5 @ 90% 5RM C. Deadlift: 1 x 5 @ 90% 5RM [...] There is no volume day for deadlifts, because deadlifts are too hard —you can'trecover from them if you do more than one heavy set. (This is especially true if you're doing 5 x 5 squats, too.) Experience with this has shown that it's best to do justone heavy set of five deadlifts on Monday, after squats and benches or overhead presses are finished. It won't be a "true" 5RM, since it follows all the squat work, but it should increase every week. From what I understand, you actually have to deadlift as much as you can on Monday, but it will only represent 90% of what you could achieve if you went to the gym, warmed up and did deadlifts directly, because you will have accumulated fatigue from the very intense squats and OHP/bench presses that you performed before the deadlift. Which means that, for the first deadlift you will ever do with the Texas Method, you calculate the load based on the 5RM that you had before you switched to the Texas Method. And from there you should try to add 5 pounds every week. Am I interpreting this correctly ? | ||

The place is called tampa bay athletics. Tbh it kind of seems like a crossfit gym minus the title but they do have a specific weightlifting section and coaches. It's kind of costly but it's cheaper since I'm a student and is less than I was paying for muay thai before I moved anyway. Side note, my school has 40k people and one general access gym with 3 power racks so there's always a line. The athlete's gym has 8 power racks and platforms with bumper plates and everything but I'm not allowed in unfortunately. And there's no weightlifting team or even a club. | ||

Just do the russian method: walk out three steps with 750 on your back and dump that shit after crushing out a few reps: But sick grind on that 575, nice job. | ||

@ Gotunk - can't afford romaloes although that would be sweet though, or mark bells rebok power shoes. @ Decaf/Gotunk - Looks as though my upper back caves in a little where I stalled, maybe some front squats as acc work? | ||

I'm saying you can practice your walk out with those weights so when you go to 600 or more you don't have to worry about it. Yeah, take a third step if you didn't get it right the first time but it's better to get it right than not. If you are planning on competing or something and lifting at max it's just something I noticed that is an easy fix and adds pounds. This is one reason why actual powerlifters use that crane to hold the weight so they don't actually have to walk the weight out at all. Not squatting in socks would probably help your back from caving in because you won't be doing as much of a good morning. | ||
