Check your federations rules on if your feet have to be flat on the ground or not when benching and then either move your feet farther back or farther apart so that your knees are below the level of your bench. Dave Tate explains that if your knees are below your ass then you can not lift your butt off the bench when using leg drive.
Here is a link to the entire series there are many
part 3 talks about body tightness and leg drive… there are 7 parts[/quote]
I am going to read this over and over again these next few days, thanks.[/quote]
That series is great, there is a ton of information but if you add a little bit at a time it certainly helps.
Great pulling there. Are those deadlifting socks?
Nice pulls Joe - you thinking 375 for an opener?
Nice pulling Joe, whose the asshat who was talking to you, if hes your friend my bad!
Great pulling. Time to channel DeNiro, “you talking to ME?!”

Yep, they have a slinght amount of padding on the shins that cuts down on the bleeding.

Right now I think my DL attempts are going to be 340-345, 375-380, and ???. I’m going to use the next few weeks to figure out where my final attempt should be.

He’s a kid that comes to the gym sometimes and won’t shut the hell up. He was telling me how he weighs 155 and is cutting.
For real, did he exercise at all, or just stare, talk and annoy you when he was there.

Pretty much he just talked. I think he might have touched something when I was lifting.

Why so low? The 395 looked great. I would think more like 365ish - 385ish - 415ish.

Right now I’m trying to keep my natural cockiness in check. I will be adjusting either up or down over the next couple of weeks.

Brett, I was thinking the same thing. You’ve hit 395 in the gym. 350,395,405-425(see how 395 feels)
