    Just started powerlifting aged 53 following a stroke to help with balance and strength. I don't lift anything heavy taking it nice and steady. But every session is a victory for me and I love it. Thanks for all the help in these presentations .👍

    The two types of bracing is something I’ve never heard anywhere else before - helps a lot to know that a bit of extension is valid. This video, like all of CB’s content, is gold.

    I've been PL for a few years but always like to watch any "guide"-like videos for SBD technique. It's a sport where you're always a student and there's always things to improve on. Watching more and more of these has made me more vigilant of certain cues to maintain and keep a close eye on.

Weights aren't the heaviest by any means - I'm 17 - but will get there just having sort of blind faith in the program since I don't know any better at the moment and can't wait to see the new numbers when I test them in 12

    I've been lifting on and off for a years and my squat has always felt like I was being pulled forward at the bottom and i would lose balance. My squat never progressed with my bench and deadlift. I've never heard anyone say to widen your grip on the bar to fix that. I always thought it was do to something with my hips. I widened my grip out a lot and I don't feel that anymore. Thanks a lot. Your videos are top notch

I'm an (olympic) weightlifter so I haven't really given squat technique much thought, but I know if I truly want to progress I need to squat with better technique!

    • @liftingiq8658
      @liftingiq8658 3 года назад +2

      This was awesome! So concise, and definitely several points I'm going to try to implement in my squats-- particularly I think the "pressure through the toes". I wouldn't say I quite have a squat-morning, but my hips definitely shoot up a bit on the higher loads! With my weightlifting background I also might be focused too much on staying upright in my descent, which forces my hips and knees back in the bottom.
      Great, GREAT video! And perfect timing for me!!

    With regards to squat mornings, I also believe that quad strength might play a role in it, i.e. your body naturaly tends to gravitate towards positions where it's stronger at, so weak quads could contribute to it. So maybe a front squat or olympic style high bar squat could help with it.

    • @thomas9434

    Coming from false grip, talon grip with thumb on the bar has been great. I don't have great mobility so this took pressure off of my elbows and allowed stronger lat engagement. Also this grip has been fine with USPA local and national meets. Not sure about USAPL or other federations.
