Just realized 365lbs/165kg x8 is a PR on deadlfits. With 0 emotional arousal, nice.

Still really struggling with my wrist mobility in front squats, maybe once I get that sorted out I can begin to try to catch up to the young front squat god @duketheslaya

Sorry if the video is bad, Iām camera shy haha. Also how many fingers do you have on the bar? I use 3 but I know people who use 2 due to wrist mobility. Or you could use straps:
But using straps doesnāt help the mobility issue, just addresses it lazily.
I wanted to make a longer video but this took 1 hour to upload already ( trash wifi). If none of those help il make another one with more things I have used.
K now gimme ur overhead gains thanks

Right now 2 fingers stuck under the bar. Gonna have to give the rotation of the hand a go. I always stacked my hand directly over my wrist. Thanks for the video Duke, I really appreciate it! I feel so special hehehe.
(Iād offer to make you a video on how I overhead but Iām sure your coach has MUCH more wisdom and experience with that than me. Heās fucking monstrous.)
Try it right now and you will feel the difference immediately!
You are special
Yeah, My overhead has gone up! I hit a push press triple pb 75kgĆ3 yesterday with ease so Iām excited for a new 1rm. Really wanting that 100kg press this year which I think I will. Hows your overhead doing?

Last time I was fooling around with heavy overhead numbers I was hitting 90-95kg for reps with relative ease. Usually with push jerks my max doesnāt correlate well with my reps. So Iād say on a good day 108-113kg could go up.
Really want a 138 jerk sometime in the somewhat-distant future.
