Did you hurt your leg leg as well as your groan?

[@Paraclef]

Your shoes are too narrow, and your toes look in bad shape, too This is why your tendons need to be compressed, so you think. Get some vibram five fingers or train barefoot, use some toes spreader, even when sleeping. If you want to get bigger, allow your body parts to be wider, bigger, gaining internal space will bring your more weight and strength.

Great tip on the knee sleeves in the j-hooks! You could also put the j-hooks on the reverse sides and do this to push the j-hooks outward, which could be useful if someone is benching max grip width and fear pinching their fingers when reracking.

So my question for anybody who reads other comments, how can one find a comfortable low bar postion? I've recently gotten involved with powerlfiting yet I'm continuing to use a high bar postion since that's how I was taught. I understand you need to place it on your rear delts yet it doesn't feel like there's anything to rest it on without it slipping off.

[@powerpumpman]

Sup Mitchell, I'm really interested in knowing how your leg length difference affects your approach to leg exercises, especially bilateral work. I have a similar issue where my left femur is slightly longer than my right, causing discomfort during bilateral exercises. Even unilateral exercises between my left and right feels off, and it's frustrating. I'd love it if you could share your insights and your approach.

[@user-strength10]

competition's heating up, with you, Tom, Thor, and Evan (Trey is on his way back too) competition will be exciting going forward.... plus some of the un-expected competition from the last WSM popping in here and there, this sport is definitely growing... side note, you VS prime Ronny coleman duking out the squats, probably would've been close haha

[@Aeklypsis]

Has Brian talked to you guys at all about depth requirements? I remembered he was criticized for his own depth back in the day. Thor on the other hand really buries them. i would actually for once love to see an absolute distance standard, like there is a specific implement and you have to squat it a predetermined distance that is the same for everyone.

When should you start to use a belt, when squatting/deadlifting ? Im up to doing reps with 160kg in deadlift and 130kg for squats Been lifting for about 5 months, and unsure when/if i should use a belt

[@nathansmith3608]

I squat up to 315 lbs (143 kg) for reps & never use a belt b/c my back feels stable & I'm pretty sure knees are my weak point (I do use knee sleeves but just regular light/medium compression ones, not full on wraps). My guess is if you get a sore back or just think your back could be the weak point you probably need a belt, but I'm curious what the pros advise too

@mitchellhooperstrongman I have the same issues with shoulder mobility when squating and came across a quick little exercise that fixes it almost instantly every time. Do a couple sets of 15-30 second neck bridges. I'll be so locked up that high bar is nearly impossible and then after a couple neck bridges getting into low bar feels easy.
