awsome shit girl!, just remeber on the day.. keep ti all tight and bring a good setup, and listen to those comands!, other than that have bloody fun with it too, i know i did when i nailed my sqaut opener :pfft:

[TonganTerror]

[Big john]

:clap: :clap: nice going MG!

just afew things...

squats: hard to tell from the angle of the vid but the squats looked just an inch to high, just remember to spread those knees out on the way down mate and that should sort it

bench looked solid as, mean arch! :twisted:

Deadlifts: good lifts mate just try and keep the arse down abit more on the initial lift off, cuz as soon as the hips and arse lift off your recruiting mostly all lower back into the lifts and bugger all else (if u have a look at attempt 1 and 2 youll see what i mean) and drive the heels into the ground you wont rock as much too. other than that it looked solid, id maybe play with grip and stance width as well, maybe bring them in abit it may benefit you, maybe not everyones different

solid strong keep it up :clap: \:D/

[morattigirl]

Cheers John, I just watched it again and yeah man squat no way near low enough, god what a difference not being able to use the mirrors as I rely on them quite a bit to see where i'm at with depth... and deads oh that was just terrible, that bar was rolling round all over the place, not good.And yeah bum not down low enough. Uh have only just recently begun to place my feet abit wider as I found it easier but I agree re my hand grip I think that should come in closer too... chur chur for your input :nod:

[VampireChick]

Awesome vid chick! You rock!

[bigdogbob]

Looked good moratti...agreeing with big john on the deads....if you don't keep your arse down and pull thru the shoulders/lats you will set yourself up for possible back injuries as you get higher on the weights..better to get that form right now to avoid injury..I learnt that from experience and now as soon as my hips come up our coach will ban the lift.

But great effort all round :grin:
