humble1 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Guy and gals, I am having difficulty standing fully erect while doing RT, block weight and saxon bar training. It doesn't seem to be a grip issue, but more of a lower back leg strength issue, could this be? Is it a form issue? Should I start more straight backed? Other exercise ideas for lower back? Or am I mistaken and it's a grip issue? I wanted to include a video for evaluation and input, but alas, no camera last night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climber511 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Pretty hard to tell with just the description. Could be low back - upper back - shoulders etc. Can you straighten up with very light weight on the RT? That might tell you something?

humble1 Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 Yeah, everything but my heavier sets, and boy is my lower back and hips burnt after a workout I've never been a good deadlifter, but I can do significantly more in a conventional deadlift than I can RT (up until the grip fails of course) Alright, looks like i'll have to get some video!

humble1 Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share Posted January 14, 2019 After some evaluation by friends in the gym, the answer has become clear. It is a grip issue. Time to back off the weight and check my ego. Better to know now and start right, then cheat myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
