Looks good man.
For your DL, where do you think that your weight distribution is at on your feet at the beginning and the end of your pull?
I ask because it appears sometimes to change. NOT a huge deal until it gets mad heavy, just curious.
Thanks, so you think pulling the bar to my schins would help?
Bar is too far out from your shins to start. Try for the bar to be in the center of your foot... Like an inch from where your ankle meets the foot. When you bend down to grab the bar, don't hinge at your waist. Look how it positions your upper back in the video you just posted.
One of the best things I was taught: break at your hips and not your waist.
Notice when you set the weight down you do this weird bouncy thing off your quads. That's because you're bending at the waist again to put the bar down. That'll hurt you more than the lift will.
Imagine the bar having to travel in a perfectly vertical line. The way you get it to stay in line on the descent is by dropping your ass down and back. Same thing for the initiation of the pull. If you aren't about to fall backwards before you initiate your leg drive you aren't far back enough. The whole "pulling the slack outta the bar" comes from having tension on the bar with your hands, squeezing the shit out of it, rocking backwards to have your posterior chain engage, pulling your shoulders back to get the lats tense and tied into your abs (which should've been flexed before ever going to grab the bar)... At that point the weight should be off the ground (once the shoulders rock backwards) about an inch. The heavier the pull the less likely it is to come off the ground, but I've found that the best position I'm ever in has the shit breaking the floor before I ever accelerate upward.
You rushed that 315 and it looked all lethargic... You looked bored. Use explosion to your advantage. Get into position, use tons of leg drive, and when you hit your knees try and fuxk the bar as hard as you can. See if you can pop it off your dick an inch or two. If you're gonna do something to compromise your already compromised back, do that shit with authority.!
