Yeah, I think it would be worthwhile for the OP to experiment with Andy Bolton’s technique, and sumo as well. He definitely does start with the bar too far away, but other than that (which is a pretty large error) his technique actually looks OK. Fixing the bar position alone should result in a stronger lift, and higher hip/vertical shins might help as well. Sumo will take time to get used to, but could also end up being much stronger.
Hey man, stop acting like a pussy. Do you even lift?

You win. I don’t even know how to respond to that.

Based on his vids ?
While I got you here why don’t you do like a training log. It’d be a cool to learn from you and a dedicated place to start discussion/arguments would be convenient
It was a joke.
I will consider that.

Bebe weight.
Hip starting position inconsistent going off landmarks in the vid like the rack and the top edge of the nearest plates
4x8 with 110kg, lmfao… I felt like a bitch.
Ill pay attention to this better when i deadlift again!
You need to get a bit closer and keep the bar as tight to you as possible imo. Your bar path is all over the place. You shouldn’t have to worry about passing your knees which it looks like it happens every rep. Ideally, you’d want to almost fall backwards with the weight, pulling the bar into you, grazing your shins and thrusting your hips forward at lockout. I don’t necessarily think you have to go completely vertical with your shins, but having less of a dramatic angle at the start would be helpful. The core lifts take a shit ton of time and practice to understand and perform optimally for you personally. Don’t rush it, and keep doing small minor tweaks, keeping consistent with them for a couple of weeks and then tweaking again.

My gym got a SSB, Would you recommend i do this if i’m planning to compete in 4 months?
I’m gonna switchero one day of squats for the ssb, for sure.
This is some good advice. Thanks!
Deadlifts have bin feeling better recently, trying to focus on the shin angle.
Sure, if you’re still squatting once a week with a regular bar too it’ll be fine.
