I have been using neutral wrist positioning since your video focusing on Lee Sang's wrist positioning / upper back positioning and it has helped tremendously. Cheers
All I focus on these days is keeping a tight upper back. I actually find it easier with a suicide grip on the bar as my wrists stay more straight and rigid and it feels like I’m better able to drive my upper back through the bar as I come up from the bottom.
when I am squatting I constantly pull down on the bar like I am at the bottom of a lat pulldown. I find it keeps my wrists straight and my junk tight. Hopefully that que can help someone. Great stuff🙏👊
Klokov said to do back extensions every day with barbell placed like in a squat (everything tight, head up and elbows back), to learn that position and for upper back strenght.
i feel like my grip strength on the bar seems to vary on the days. Some days i feel weak even balling up a fist and other days i feel like i can grip through the barbell itself. Could this be a lack of recovery between workouts ?
Been lifting for 6 years since and maybe since 1 year switched to a false grip because my forearms have started hurting quite a bit. Recently started doing general mobility work, does anyone any tips on specific work to incorporate to be able to use a regular grip instead of false and also narrow my grip for more tightness?
Obviously I am here for the advice on upper back rounding as that is a weakness for me. What does "penis in my upper back" mean at 2:46? I know a lot of yoga but I can't figure out what you were trying to say?
@@miatomi Yeah youd think so, i think that elbow flexation can put a lot of stress on the tricep tendon, aswell as the forearm. But im asking because i hope its a technique issue that i can fix, rather than yeah that just happens deal with it
@@jayeye89 I don't think squatting alone should cause tendon issues in your tricep unless they're already being created by something else you're doing. I've had elbow pain from triceps tendinitis from other exercises that flares up during squats, but every time I've fixed the loading and switched to a more rehab style of managing weight increases and load in the other exercise (specifically OHP for me) the tricep pain in the squat went away. Isometric loads like your tricep gets in a squat don't tend to do much tendon damage as far as I know based on my reading of more modern tendon researchers so I don't think that'd cause anything on its own
@@jayeye89 There shouldn't be any problem on elbow and triceps, the more affected areas would be shoulder and forearm. Shoulder is just mobility, now forearms when i go VERY heavy and on the last rep you can kinda feel some bad pain, but it tends to go back to normal quickly, also chest may get involved on max?? All problems relate to bending and form break.

I love all the marks on the wall behind you at about toddler height.

Can be quite useful for sure if it gets the back tonight
@@sikastrength tonight bro??
Thumbless grip has helped me with this
GOAT BOI 🐐

Very cool video. Now I get why they tell you to do that.
nice technique to help keep my shit tight

Grip strength has been studied as a measure of fatigue, so that's likely that you're experiencing with is cool
When you need to be fast, you are fast.

I had the same problem
Hopefully this helps 😁
@@sikastrength it has. Especially when I a super lean waist line.

PEANUT in his upper back 😂
Pretty sure he's referring to the massage tool that's two balls stuck together, thus looking like a peanut
He said "peanut", most likely referring to a peanut lacrosse ball.
has squatting ever fucked your elbows up?
that seems impossible with proper form, but also interested
I believe it did, when he was training for 300kg. It may have been his wrist though, I can't recall.
