Back Arch

[5.0]

Agreed there. I just coach on the side when I can fit it in.

That great your giving back to the sport, not a easy thing to do when your already busy.

I worked on the arch a bit yesterday while doing dl. It helped rite at the top of movement when locking out. I usually get some pain in this part of the pull but not yesterday. Didn't have any real weight on as I was going for speed/reps but felt better.

POB nailed it - just push your belly in to your belt and keep your chest up.

Who have you seen yelling to arch?

Yea I was referencing squats. I was just wondering if arching carried over to conventional pulls.

Not at all no. They are very different lifts. Arching on a conventional pull will **** up your spine quick.

Oh ok.

So your back should be neutral?

And chest up?

Yes. Neutral spine and neck with chest up as much as possible.

Thanks man.

Please do. Film from the side and from the front at a diagonal angle. Don't post 135lbs. Post something close to or at max effort. Single reps.
