Struggling Off the Floor

You both have beautiful hair.

Being ‘weak off the floor’ generally means your too weak for the weight and/or you have technique issues.

@gt213

If you did that, spent some time working on form, eat and sleep well etc… i’d be amazed if you didn’t get 180 (if not for reps) by the end.

@jcmcnorton

Then I put on 180KG, and pulled a solid triple!

Congrats, not surprised it was form related.

Bear in mind working with lighter weight for more reps allows you more time to practice and improve your technique

Especially with the current program. Doing FSL 5x5 has helped with that as well. To be honest the most important thing has been learning to properly contracting the lats. It felt really good. Almost no pain afterwards either, which is awesome. Thanks @gt213

[jcmcnorton]

Thanks. I’ve always thought so to

You’re like a hemorrhoid, a pain in the ass who just won’t go away.
