Squats and deads if its at the bottm then its hams/glutes.

Squats if its lockout then its quads.

Deads if its lockout its back.

Leg press for a deep range of motion and sldls can help. Rack lockouts are good for helping lock deadlifts.

for chest figure out where you get stuck coming up, the go to a rack and postion the pins right where the sticking point is. Throw some wieghts on and lift from that point. It helps

it all depends..sticking points will change as you go up in weight..
for bench boards are a great tool..your tri's can never be strong enough for teh bench..

box squats at different depths
pause squats

rack pulls
goodmornings
suspended GM's
block pulls
general upper back work

there are lots of things you can do...youll have to find out where your weaness or sticking pont is with your current weights then train those areas

yes, or train those lifts...
if its the bottom of your bench, work with dumbells or a cambered bar if you have one.
if its the bottom of your deadlift, do platform deads. the top of your deadlift, do rack pulls.
figure out where you are getting stuck and concentrate on that specific part of the lift, rather than bodyparts.
not saying either way is wrong, just another way to look at it.

I have just started getting into powerlifting, so i will help you out with what most likely you are going to have to work on.

1 strengthen your core with real ab work that is full range and involves the hip flexor to some degree, not isolation crunches. Do everything for your abs that a personal trainier will say is no good for you.

2 I can almost guarantee your hamstrings suck, start working hard on them. gms glut ham raises, sldl's and so on.

3 hit the lower back hard, hypers, pullthroughs, gms

4 start squatting off a box, because you have no idea how to squat.

5 Start reading as much as you can because you know nothing, and everything you learned was wrong.



Now before you think I am being hard on you, that list was for me 6 months ago, but i will assume you are in the same boat i was and still am. Now dadawg and pb are great and full of knowledge, and read the sticky up top.

oh, and about the sticking point on chest, i just read a great article about that. Work 2 inches or one board under your sticking point, because speed is getting it up a little. And if you are getting pinned on your chest, it is not a sticking point, the weight is just too fucking heavy, lol.
