Your arms or legs too wide 
haha. I kill me. Seriously though, why would you think it’s too wide?
I also like doing deficits with 25’s but it does seem like a long way up doesn’t it?

Nothing wrong with the view!! lol I do think you’re a little wide. Probably losing a lot of body tightness in VAST distance covered by your appendages.
ugh, I can never see the videos if they’re put directly on the site.
getting the meet covered sounds perfect! octopussy+being able to do the meet=perfect scenario!
If it’s your legs, check out this old video of Kara Bohigian. Don’t read the comments though. They make me want to cut my neck. She has a very wide leg stance but it may be due to a knee problem.
The corkscrewing isn’t too bad…but you’re ditching the tightness in your back and bringing your butt up ahead of everything else. That’s what I noticed.
Your hand grip on the bench is pretty damned wide. You could probably bring it in about an inch or two. Leg placement depends on your comfort level. Loved the view, though! (shameless perv…lmao!)
I haven’t done deficit deads since training with Bre at her gym. The heaviest plates were about the size of the 25s. Good times…drawing a small crowd and being called a gorilla and all.
Liked the lil smile as you positioned yourself on the squat vid. 
I have nothing constructive to add because I am still a NooOB, BUT I will say this, AHHH i love Kara Bohigian so much!! She is the first female powerlifter I ever knew anything about and she is the reason I wanted to get into it in the first place, tear
Sorry, I’ll try not to flood up your log with Kara worship, Lol.
Hi brute, bye brute!
Hmmmm. I do think I raise my butt up faster then anything else on my squizods. HMMM. This just makes me want to train them entirely different–new environment, everything so I’m less likely to stick in old ways. I think how I did them on weds will be my new place. Turned around, different rack. HMMM.
In a way the deficit deads are the same, since they are different in set up, I feel like i want to do them better if that makes sense. HMM. HHHHHMMMMMMM I’m curious as to what i can do with those wt wise…
Thanks for all the tips on my bench as well Today I did closer placement, its still benching and its horrible but we’ll see. I do think my arms can go waaaaaay wide.
today
week 3 day 3
front squats 115x5,135x4, 155x3 x 2 sets, 185x3 x 6 sets. These were tough. But I tried my best
benching 75x5,85x4, 100x3 x 2 sets, 115x3 x 6 sets…whoops forgot to do 7 :{
gm’s 135x5, 145x5,155x5
I was running out of time so i tried mp’s. I’ve done mp’s a total of about 3 times in my life. Its so hard to not push press…so yeah, anyways I suck at them. did 65x5, tried 85 and no. I had to go so still need to do flies and those mp’s and the last of the gm’s some other time.
OMG I just saw that vid and she’s adorable—and AWESOME 
OHHHHHH Thank you Now I have a new person to stalk via you tube vids :)!!!

I didn’t see the “P” at first read… haha!!!
B-ticus, keep that back tight, woman!! Tight back!! That butt dip in the hole is what’s hurting you on those fronties. That small shift in your CoG is making what should be fairly light to you all the more heavy.
Still love watching, though…
Can I ask what CoG means? ^^^
Brute, have you watched more kara vids? Maybe we can obsess over her together now! Check out her 500lbs deadlift one!

CoG = Centre of Gravity.
I also have some Kara love. I remember watching videos of her when I first started lifting and thinking how inspiring she is.
MiM and Texi thanks:)
BEAST! ! ! ! ! ! How am I to tighten my back? DO I flare out my lats? I am so stuck on ab clenching! :{ I don’t get it!
O and Spock! I’m off to watch some now!
It might be a weakness in the hips/low back??
I think your hammies are plenty stron!g
thanks MiM!
…however I have a sneaking suspicion my hammies just look that way. I’ve body builder trained them in a sense forever! I used to do lunges–in the hundreds–for years, every day. And high/not parallel squats for years everyday. It ok with me cuz I like em but I think they aren’t as strong as they appear…
HMMMMMMMM!!! I’m trying to see how I can get the ghr thing going. there is one at rmlc but I don’t think I’m strong enough to do it! or I just can’t figure it out :{
Bruti, your hammies aren’t the issue. Especially with all the volume you do. I’d say work on the lower back, and focus on keeping that booty poked out. Yes…stick that thang out!! lol. It’s a cue I keep in my head as I get down in the hole.
Booty out. I can totally do that. So you mean arching as in keeping back tight? I can handle that
