Mike Rinderle Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Enjoy the hilarity. Won't be trying these again without a cage. 1. I know my form sucks. 2. At least the lift was successful for a 20 lb PR 3. If we can't laugh at ourselves, then we are taking ourselves way too seriously. 4. Nothing was seriously hurt although my jaw and my lower leg are gonna have a couple nice bruises. Quote This grip stuff will make you a god damned sexual Tyrannosaurus, just like me.

acorn Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 I missed an upright once on bench lockouts with 600+. Made one hell of a racket when all those plates came off that side. At least your collar held up. - Aaron 1 Quote ** Retired **
BGally Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Dude you have to stop doing those with the crossed arms! If you don't have the wrist flexibility for the clean grip (lord knows I don't), then you can use wrist straps as an extension for the clean grip. I started trying to explain how to do this but it was easier to google a video 1 Quote
Mike Rinderle Posted February 27, 2012 Author Posted February 27, 2012 I think I may just stop doing them altogether. :laugh I will give those a look though. Thanks! Those are awesome. I will have to try those with some straps. I can't get anywhere near the bar with a clean grip. That may be the answer! Thanks!

Shoggoth Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 I use the straps and it's way better. 1 Quote Jason Steeves"Higher beings from outer space may not want to tell us the secrets of life, because we're not ready.

GatorGrip Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) Don't feel like the lone ranger, I was sick a couple weeks ago and took a ton of decongestants (all I can think it was) got 225 on the bench for reps and went down and it stuck and I had to roll the bar down my torso to the floor then pick it up and put it back on the bar, the kicker was I was in the gym in front of God and everybody else when I lost all my cool points on the floor! No one offered to help they just stood there like idiots! Edited February 28, 2012 by GatorGrip Quote SOME OLD SOME NEW CHECK IT OUT! http://www.youtube.com/user/strongmanfeats

mt-tom Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 It's good that you weren't hurt! I appreciate that you can laugh at yourself and allow others the oppportunity as well. I'm pretty sure I've done dumber things. I enjoyed your video, Mike. Tom Quote
Mike Rinderle Posted February 28, 2012 Author Posted February 28, 2012 Thanks guys. Got a couple nice bruises today, but I went back and got my revenge on 285 using the strap method from the video above. Racking went much smoother.

deadlifterfromberlin Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Glad you're not hurt! As I don't like to train the racking position for front squats I prefer to do Zercher squats and Zercher lifts. Quote Hendrik
