I don’t have much to add except you are not tight. You need to create tension in the muscles before starting the lift.

witch muscle… and how do i do so? also did my back round ? miss u bro 
When I said you have it locked in I mean you are doing it.
When we talk about getting tight for a lift we aren’t talking about tight in a specific muscle; it’s about creating tension throughout your entire body so make it more stable. A lot of that relates to knowing how to breathe and hold your air.
You take a big breath onto your belly and lower back. Then you close your throat and squeeze down hard on the air you just took in. Then you do whatever you need to do to get the rest of you tight for the lift (there won’t be much left by now that isn’t), so for the deadlift that’s gripping the bar, puling it into you and bending it around your shins and getting your hips low enough to get your shoulders behind the bar.
thx broo: this called bracing abs right? … when deadlift what angel should my back be to floor?
and what that guy talking about
Bracing your abs is just a part of it. Yes, you brace your abs but that is combined with a whole bellyful of air. You aren’t really just bracing your abs, you’re squeezing down on that air with everything around your whole midsection from front to back.
Your back angle should be whichever one lets you get your shoulders behind the bar with vertical shins and your hips neither too high or too low. I know that isn’t massively helpful but since every body is different that’s about as much as I’m prepared to say - there is no magic angle that will work for everyone. You’ll have to play around.
IDK how to do that
bro… i just wanna say thanks for being helpful… @dt79 u too… u been good too thanks
My bad, I wasn’t describing it particularly well. Imagine you’re trying to take a really big dump that just won’t move. It’s exactly the same feeling.
It’s my pleasure, BTW.
close grip bench press when elbowe tucked to side… what that for guys…
Yeah, like what this dude is doing in the pic.
Bruce Lee say, “All force come from the dantian(core).”

I think triceps and/or improving your lockout. Also if your shoulders are beat up sometimes a closer grip with more elbow tuck is better.

@dt79 if i deside to cut more now… would it be bad mov?
I think I’ve already answered this question many times.
just having that belly that i suck all the time makes me think twice
How about looking at it this way: if you have big, muscular shoulders, back, chest and legs and a little bit of a belly what is going to be more obvious?
My money’s on the size and muscularity - for which you need to eat and not cut for.

Neutral grip db press will limit tricep involvement and put more focus on your chest if you do it like a bent arm flye. I’ve never done reverse grip bench presses before.
I think it’s a workaround if you’ve got horribly messed up shoulders or something.
well… i read atis for upper pec and better far better then incline bench… mark i ddint say flyes i said press
That’s what I was talking about. I’m pretty sure reverse grip is for bad shoulders.
Personally I prefer sticking to a smaller group of assistance exercises. It takes a bunch of confusion and complication out of the equation. I’ll only add something if nothing in my current toolbox works.
u guys think i can ask christan about some side delt tips?
