So if the bar doesn't get set back down exactly as it was picked up, you can't just roll it into position. You have to either reeposition yourself, cause each side result in the bar moving several inches or more. That or physically pick up one end of the bar and twirl it around where you want. Also, what I wouldn't give to have a gym with farmers walk handles. I really, really like farmer's walks; but dumbbells aren't the greatest. They work in a pinch, but when they start to tilt the end of the dumbell starts pressing into your wrist...and a 100+lbs edge pushing into your hands get painful quick. Other downside is they only go up to 125 here, I'll probably exhaust them in a few weeks. Can always add time, but I like doing them heavier and really working the grip. | ||

Putting a plate under could work, but to me that seems like a temporary band aid. Interesting it helped your deadlift that much. Do you pull sumo? it is a temporary bandaide so to speak, but it depends how long it takes for you to improve your mobility. 2 months? 6 months? 5 years (like me)? im 100000x happier doing good-form squats with a plate under my heel i dont pull sumo no. but my squat is like 60kg , so 'anything' that activates me in a new way is gonna give a massive boost for me honestly to think how little base muscle i had - ask me a few years ago and i would tell you i cant crouch down for more than a few seconds and get back up again... i mean, i remember doing it at work and thinking 'damn i suck' lol. hell, one of my gym goals in like 2013 was 'to be able to open the doors at work without looking like an invalid' but ya nice to see you doing front squats and mixin it up servo, feelsgoodman | ||

Like 5'8"/170cm 50kg skeletor? I'm a little curious though. 60kg for a squat? Is your training consistent? Sounds like you've been around the gym for several years and are only just squatting a wheel, which seems off. | ||

I'm encouraged I've got things tightened up and I don't feel like I'm stressing my back as much with a better, tighter setup and getting away from thinking about pulling with arms back. Not sure if I'm getting everything, especially setup, quite dialed in though. Looks pretty good. I'd like to see you try and get your back a bit flatter by pulling your shoulders back and down and using your core for your lumbar, but overall solid lifting and looks like you're moving well. | ||

As much as I like powerlifting already, I probably won't chase being 80kg+, it's just too much to drag around in hilly Colorado. Would be pretty cool if I could total say, 1200 or so, and run sub 5 mile at the same time. Long way for that though. I'll worry about 800 first  | ||

I've got a big engine, so I can do most races okay at the lower end of 70kg. I think for a 5'8" guy, if you stay really lean max muscular potential is usually around 80kg, which is still within reasonable.

I'll worry about 800 first yeah im a bit too fat now acutally xD would like to be a little lighter since i do gymnastics/calisthenics the extra weight isnt helping at all. Yeah the more mass you have the harder it will be for you in endurance races | ||

@Pulimuli- Please report the the Handicapper-General What type of shoes are you guys using? I squat olympic style so sneakers have worked for me, but they don't work for deadlift. | ||

Haha, I never claimed to be that fat. Was probably pushing 25-30% at my worst. I always has fitness though, I remember even in PE in ninth grade we had the usual mile shit, and I really wanted to beat a classmate and ended up running 6:57. Not too bad for a tubby, largely sedentary dude. Shoewise, it's a disaster for me. I'm using shitty old running shoes, which combined with our smooth floors is fucking lame. I remember IgnE mentioning "slovenly toe angle" and I tried to correct that, starting more in and thinking of screwing feet to floor...well my shoes can't grip this floor, so no matter what the toes are headed out. Makes it hard to get rooted for leg drive on bench as well. Deadlift is the only one where I feel okay in shoes, but I'd still prefer to deadlift barefoot (not allowed at CSU). I'd really like to find a proper lifting gym, CSU has lots of equipment but also stupid rules, and also get better shoes...but right now there is no extra cash flow. Fingers crossed for Christmas on the shoes at least. | ||
