I'm always modifying my cues as necessary when certain little parts of my form seem to go astray or feel off for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is getting my start damn near perfect for me; elbows inline with my kneecaps, stuff my shoulder blades into my back pockets, and then drive my feet through the floor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried my Okie bar again last week too. I really suffer from a whippey bar for pulls so I went back to a stiff bar too. Much better.

EricMilfeld Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 No age is appropriate for early morning (unless you were up all night because you’re a night owl) workouts. The few times I tried it I hated it. I just couldn’t get warmed up and in the right frame of mind to save my life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Days off I’ll train at around 2:00. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 December 1, 2018 Afternoon Week 2. Pretty sure once I get to a weight that I’m hitting the 50 reps they’ll all happen in the first 10-12 minutes. Once my thick bar grip is cooked it doesn’t recover too quick.
