Powerlifting Tips For Viewers' Lifts

[@Kilithaza]

These guys sending in videos are like: Been lifting for about 2 hours, heres me deadlifting 500kg. How do i get 502 for world record?

[@ken71607]

To quote stefi, "Hips down chest up." It's possible that learning to pull the slack out of the bar may help with his other positioning.

[@Kelvinjan]

Last guy: Stance is looking a tad wide for him. Not sure if it's the angle but you can see him shifting towards the right side (shin angle of right leg is more vertical than left). Try a narrower stance that allows more slightly vertical shins for better stability. Also, lats don't look engaged. Shoulders therefore look like they're over the bar and kind of just "lazy looking."

[@normandmarchand4158]

Love this channel. Paused reps are a game changer for getting stronger powerlifter or not

[@JohnmagnusLifts]

Morgan: Stacked joints, little less toe flare, knees out, sit a bit more backwards and brace back while beeing patient off the floor. Also play a bit aroud with trying to pry your pinkeytoe out. start with lower weights and high reps to build solid tecnique and be patient, the strength comes automaticly after your tecnique betters.

[@duckslayer11000]

These videos are so helpful. Amazingly I have done just about every error shown in these videos. Really could have used them 8 years ago.

[@SkipDivideMusic]

First time watching and I gotta say these are SO good! Some great advice for anyone. Great content - love it!

[@2PlayaVids]

I would say with the last guy, try keeping the knees more in line with the feet (perpendicular to the floor) as the knees are dropping inward, losing the tension in the glutes

[@michaellalancette9560]

haircuts on point Bryce! Thanks for these!

[@lucabalestra1638]

Agreed with several people here for Morgan - most of all take the time to set up and pull the slack out of the bar & get in a good, repeatable position before each pull.

[@seanhanzel2621]

Morgan: Stack your joints. Really set that back and do so while pulling the slack out of the bar. I’d recommend more leg drive if you’re worried about top back rounding. Think of it as you’re creating a chasm and splitting the earth with your feet as you pull. (Atleast thats what I do)

[@morgancolling5558]

Thanks!

[@MrLucashop]

Eeee thanks man!! Appreciate the feedback!!!

[@willrandall4012]

Great video Bryce! Very helpful and solid content!

[@Nutbag517]

Morgan: First off, great lift! Looks like the hips are shooting up slightly before initiating the pull. Maybe a little bit of a narrower stance will help you get into a better position, because it looks like the legs aren't contributing as much as they could be. Lastly, a bit hard to tell but upper back and lats seem to get loose when you start pulling.

[@yeshuaheras6204]

for morgan maybe try to get ur chest more upright & tilt ur pelvis more in to the bar & try to narrow ur stance a little.

[@PinataOblongata]

Morgran: - Sit back/upright more, pull hips to the bar, bar is drifting forward, drag the bar up those shins. - Knees are bending slightly out of sync. - Left knee (your left, our right) rotating inwards a little and displaying slight valgus, possibly turn foot inwards a tiny bit more. - No need to use straps at this weight, just use hook-grip, yes it'll suck, but you'll quickly get use to it and then never go back.

[@Daniearp]

Hey Bryce, I'm a novice still (can do 140 for 4 reps @ rpe 9 with regular overhand grip), I'm trying to learn hook grip, but when I get up to 80-100 kgs it feels like my thumbs are gonna be ripped off, how would you advise me to learn the hook grip? Should I just keep pushing it and lower my weights or should I do it only on warm ups for now? I want to be able to use hook grip on my max weighs lifts as well, do not want to use mixed grip

[@aaronwilliams645]

Morgan you could surely like your shins a bit make vertically. Try a closer stance and work the stance out once you have the mobility to keep you shins like this >>> |

[@berkertugrul9055]

morgan's problem looks like his stance might be too wide for him. if you dont have the hip mobility to really sink into the bar with a wide stance you should narrow your stance a bit. the cue i use for this is when you initiate the pull your shins should be perpendicular to the ground so you can generate more force with your legs.

[@viktorkraj6423]

What app or software do you use to analyse the videos?

[@awmlawoffice]

My $0.02 re: Morgan. 1. Lower the weight; 2. At the bottom try to show the wall your nipple/chest out; 3. Use the bar to pull yourself into position; 4. Pull your hips into the bar and "wedge" the weight up. 5. Think of stacking your core and hips; 6. Spread the floor and pretend you're pushing the floor down and out; 7. Squeeze your glutes and fire them towards the bar as you; 8. It is more mechanically advantageous to keep your hips closer to the bar.

[@morgancolling5558]

Does this look any better? It’s from before the lockdown in my country kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5i8lmiXnp6Nj6s

[@morgancolling5558]

I struggle to get tight in my back for my deadlifts and my bench press in general, squat feels fine tho

[@awmlawoffice]

@@morgancolling5558 I rarely pull sumo, but when I do I have the same problems you seem to have. Chris Duffin has a tutorial on the Supertraining KZbin channel that was helpful for me. Bench has always been my strong point, actually the only movement that felt natural the first time I did it 25+ years ago. Deadlifts are my nemesis.

[@kostnigamer]

Could I send front squats up for critique or are only back squats allowed?

[@patrickvanherk]

Haven't seen them on here before. Would be nice to get some front squats in here

[@miz528aaaaaaa]

He Did mine just remember to keep ya elbows up and back tight if your doing the clean postion

[@bvons75]

Not to be a dick, but MST means Mountain Standard Time, and that doesn't start until we turn the clocks back Nov 7. Then we will be in MST. Right now we are in Daylight savings time, so MDT is what you mean. I try to use just Mountain Time or MT when I am unsure, or I google Calgary timezone to see what it is because I never remember either.

[@youtubesatire6084]

What does it exactly mean to pull the slack out of the bar ? Sry i dont Understand that Phrase 😅

[@johnce8379]

@calagarybarbell Just finished running a double smolov jr on my squat and bench and got a 90lbs increase in total. I want run your week 8wk program next. How long should I rest before running the program. I just maxed out yesterday. Thanks for all the great advice and content.

[@yildirimgulle]

1 week should be fine thats what i did and it worked for me

[@steffen-andrejensen4309]

I find it gives less volume work on the benchpress when doing pause reps all the time like a competition lift. I tested this between two cycles of a 13 weeks powerlifting program. I got more volume done when doing touch and go (not bounce and go, simply just a good controlled and go) and I also did a better competition lift of the benchpress following this when I tested my new 1 rep max (tested with paused rep like competition). If my program was programmed to a AMRAP set for example or just higher reps than lets say 5, I would get gassed from pausing all the time and it would just mess with my tendons overall in the long run. Maybe its just me who experience this but I feel the controlled and go benchpress has a big deal for getting a bigger benchpress (?)

[@seanjohnston848]

Lifter two (deadlift): I always assumed (or had been told) that the head should be aligned with the rest of the body in the deadlift (facing more downwards in the initial pull vs looking fully forward). No mention of it for lifter, so I assume it's fine? Is this a common sort of myth then?

[@ethanwilliamson782]

I find that pulling my head at least online with my spine helps keep the hop back tighter, it probably doesn’t actually do anything, but when my upper back feels better I can hold it tighter, and that helps me keep strong all the way through my lower back

[@Grimitex]

For Morgan, I’d do a lighter weight so he can get the full lock out in the knees, Bc from what I kinda see is that it doesn’t look like his knees weren’t fully locked out

[@Grimitex]

Might just be me tho, and also do rack pulls to work on the back more so it doesn’t arch

[@samdajellybeenie14]

Man these thumbnails are out of control Hahahaha. Great advice as always Bryce ❤️

[@TunnelVisionAthletic]

yeah i mean its a bit insulting toi the lifters but I know its just clickbait

Started high bar, trying to get quads stronger with summos and humbling to need to lower the weight

[@mikeblxde4735]

Gah my vid didn’t make it. Maybe next week!

[@nickguitarrist750]

almost every time I get my feet closer and ready for leg drive when I position for bench press I get cramps and it’s frustrating, any advice?

[@dthcorehvy]

I had the same issue, yoga class on Sundays fixed it for me

[@im_reyz8780]

same when i keep my legs wide

[@Hossak]

Hips shooting up - not enough patience off the floor. Also his shin angle is not right, either sit down more or bring the stance in a bit and then - take time to brace as you grab that bar and give it time to get the bar off the floor. It sucks to feel that tension as you try to get the weight to move but you really have to learn to love that feeling, otherwise you will always be in a hurry to get it over with.

Any tips to prevent scratches from the bar when squatting? Been squatiting for years but i still get scratches everytime i squat. I lowbar squat, and usually in a tight cotton t-shirt or a thin sweater.

[@Nutbag517]

Sounds like the bar is moving around too much. Don't let it roll or get out of position after you unrack.. A good que that might help: Pull the bar into your back.

[@Drengen10]

@@Nutbag517 It's not moving at all, I do pull it into my back but that's also quite painful ish. Maybe skin just too sensitive :(

[@Nutbag517]

@@Drengen10 Not to assume anything, but usually that pain has to do with a lifter not having enough mass on the upper back/traps. If not, maybe ajust the position of the bar? Could simply have something to do with your bone structute.

[@Drengen10]

@@Nutbag517 Im certainly not super huge but im fairly big and a little high on the bodyfat %. Not sure where i would have to put the bar. It's lowbar squats im doing, but the bar doesnt quite rest on the deltoids but rather the traps next to it

[@Nutbag517]

@@Drengen10 Well, then I'm out of ideas. Those were the immediate reasons for discomfort I could come up with. I'm not a huge guy either, but I do have fairly good traps and the bar sits comfortably wheather I'm doing high/low bar.
