Sam Ashen Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 If you have access to a good coach in person then talk to them about possible cues to fix technique. I got some advice and I feel good about it! I even composed a song about it, but will spare your thread from it. Thanks! I will get another video and see how many issues it fixed.

This is called playing to somebody's strength, correct? Hey, I really like the deadlift videos you are posting too. Even though you call the last ones you post "speed deadlifts," you move from one position to the next position. It is clean and smooth and you are in each position long enough to show what the position is supposed to look like. Watching the video exposed some more flaws in my technique. So thanks for posting them! EDIT: No coaching cues or silly songs.

Tankweazel Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Been bad at updating this. Not much videos from training and not much excitement other than peaking for the EPF classic next week. Comined with some judo coaching at BJJ (OMG! EJU! B&!)Had a trip down to the West Midlands for an equipped squad session and trying out the new shirt. Been told to get a belt to hold it in place, it doesn't even touch with 110kg The rest of this week is openers and last warm up weights, plus trying not to be a fatty wee fat fat. I've found out that my hotel has a sauna so I feel a bit less pressure on the making weight front. Quote "Gentle means tired." Battle Log / Youtube Channel / (lol am an..)

Rooks Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 So... at around 4:00... what's with the plastic bags on people's arms while benching? Quote Link to comment
Tankweazel Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 So... at around 4:00... what's with the plastic bags on people's arms while benching?The plastic bags help with pulling on tight suits and shirts. The plastic bags are still there during benching so the shirt can be easily adjusted. They would be removed after the last warm up at a comp.My shirt is loose enough to not need bags or suit slippers, but it needs a belt so it back be held down and I actually get the full use of the chest panel.

Rooks Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 That seems so complicated. Haha.... what happened just to picking up some weight and moving it? I know I know... it's all within the rules, just seems overly complex to have to go through all that. Anyway... best of luck at the meet. Quote Link to comment
