This is truth. I’d rather have someone discard my advice and make progress than take it and get stuck, any day. I’m not in this for the ego boost, just wanna push it as far as I can, and help others do the same as much as I can.
Highlights from today:
Front squat, 435x1
Shrugs, 545x16

The original position of your hips were not terrible in my opinion. The main problem was that when you began your pull your hips jumped up quickly while your shoulders did not rise. But all the advice here has been spot on. Just try and drive your heels through the floor. I almost like to rock forward right before I pull just to generate a little momentum when I rock backward (which gets my shoulders behind the bar). This allows me to focus on pulling backward as well as up. Whenever I am only thinking about pulling up I straight leg it just like you do.
Also, don’t jump on sumo bandwagon 
I know peer pressure is a bitch, but resist. I actually just moved my stance in and the weights have been moving easier for me.
Sorry to all you cool kids who lift sumo :)[/quote]
I’m with AJ. I’ve done it, it felt retarded, and I went back to conventional. I know H$M is a cute and sexy little man of muscle and a freak of nature we all have come to hate and love but that setup doesn’t work for me. Sure, it should work better for a tall trainer and sure H$M’s true source of power is creatine and pulls numbers that make us all look like girls but THAT setup sucks my ass and tickles my balls. Like AJ, I changed my foot placement a bit and shit started moving. Until fucking Dirty_Gerdy told me to throw 6 plates (585 for those in special ed courses) on and I finally failed to lock in. The Sesame Street take home message kids is…figure out what fucking works for you. No matter what some cute, raw egg drinking, Portuguese midget (<3) says or does.
