Pat G Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Sick and wrong. Looked pretty smooth too. I reckon there's more in the tank.A tank full of high octane unicorn juice! "Strength is the cup. The bigger the cup, the more you can put in" - JDanger Link to comment
Yoshi Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 First off - awesome job! I'm working toward being able to do this someday and you are a constant inspiration. Nice pull. The high hip start makes my Weightlifter's heart sad but it's totally working and there's no arguing with results. To 400!And, not to start another conversation, but can someone explain ^this^ to me?

wildross Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 She starts with her rear/hips a bit higher than "ideal". But, at almost 2.5x her body weight (which I don't think any of the rest of us can even get close to)...who cares?? Warriors don't count reps and sets. They count tons.

Corbab Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Damn. Just damn. I was going to compare that to what I lifted this morning, but I'm too embarrassed...

jdanger Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 And, not to start another conversation, but can someone explain ^this^ to me? The Google machine has left me confused...Without getting into a whole big deal the high hip start prevents the leg and hip extensors from being fully recruited in the lift. Spezzy makes up for this with silly strong back strength but with better positioning and potentially strengthening her legs she's capable of a lot more.She starts with her rear/hips a bit higher than "ideal". But, at almost 2.5x her body weight (which I don't think any of the rest of us can even get close to)...who cares??She'll care when she gets more efficient and pulls more. I've pulled almost 2.6x with low hips. The more you know.Also for the Rip "shoulders must be in front of the bar" folks consider . And yes, Tate knows what he's doing (except for the clean advice, ignore that lol). Eat. Sleep. High bar squat. | Strength is a skill, refine it.
