Deads again...

[Bast]

Ok, I have good form when doing them and all is good in that section.
But the bar never touches my legs (although very close), how much strenght do you think I might be loosing? I train somewhere close to the 500´s right now.

Good ? bast. I'm having the exact same problem.

 

[Bast]

Well, have you come to any ideas as to how better the problem? Ill give it a go on my next backday, will go abit lighter and be sure that the bar is in contact with my legs at all time.

Any of you powerlifters got any tips for a BB

never? not even at lockout?

 

[Bast]

Yeah sure at lockout the bar is against my legs, but not all the time during the lift, and what i´ve gathered i might be loosing some strength doing like this? Next backday im gonna check how close and where the bar aint against my skin.

lean back a little when you in the hole. it will feel awkward like you gonna lose your balance at first. but you wont. pull back not up.

I've gotta start lean back further for sure. I'm barely touching my shins if at all haha...
