hips seem quite high bro

yeah i noticed this and did actually try a hand full of light variations, tried a low squat like start using alot more leg drive as i think ur ment to?, but i just cant do it, way to uncomfortable for me, prob to do with my crab flexibility, but then i figured that i can 1/4 alot more than full squat so i came to the conclusion ill just pick the c*nt up how ever it happens :pfft:

That's it bro!! Just pick it up! you did have good body placement in the sense that you were are very upright, maybe hands a little close together blah blah blah just lift it! What am I talking about I'm a pansy bodybuilder, really I just watched the vid to see if you deadlift with those shoes on ha ha a ha

very happy with flat bench tonight, made changes to cut down rom as long monkey arms and little to no arch create 4 a long bench, made grip 2fingers wider and really working hard on lock shoulder blades together, feel bit strange but much stronger than last week.

Also working in power rack now helping with tightness as i have pins set so that the bar touches them if i dont keep everything tight, really help me switch on every rep.
