That’s a great tip!👏🏼👏🏼

[@TestifySC]

Thanks, Harry!

Interesting. I like to use hip shoot to: 1. Use stretch reflex 2. Take slack out of the bar and 3. Help with bracing (less abdominal compression and hence can take bigger breath for the brace at top of shoot before dropping hips back down).

Thank you. Love the short format

[@TestifySC]

Glad to hear it, and you’re welcome!

[@Mikey__R]

Wait, have I been tying my shoes wrong this whole time?!

[@TestifySC]

Where do you shop for your socks? I'm being serious..

[@TestifySC]

Ha! I don't get that question all that often. They're soccer socks, and I've gotten a few pairs locally at Scheels and the rest of them on Amazon: TCK Soccer Socks amzn.to/3SlKCwu Very convenient for deadlifts, snatches, and cleans.
