I agree with the wider stance and toes out a bit .

X2 I'm with RR, wider stance and toes out. I'd also find a PL gym in your area and use a monolift, I did and it's one of the smartest things I've ever done. JB can attest to how things can turn south pretty quick walking heavy weights out. I bet with your drive and attitude a team would take you in for sure. I found my local team on line and shot them an email and it's been great since then. They will get your wraps the right way and with spotters in the back on the sides and someone calling your height on the way down you just can't go wrong. I bet you would excel and have a blast!

He has a monolift at his gym, but he needs the safety chains for the lift and someone to operate it for him, which he can just grab a guy. He lifts at a pretty damn decent gym...

And I agree with this PoB character who recommended widening your stance up. Some goodmornings and glute ham raises may help you too. I think that shaking like you have parkinsons thing is from a weakness in the glutes and/or hams. Lookin like michael j. fox and shit :p

But anyway, you're a beast oldschool and I'm still chasin ya down... If that weight is beyond you right now, at least we both know its only temporary!

Doesnt seem like u have your wraps on tight. I'm always jumping to get mine off they are so tight. My toes start to tingle. Walkin weight is a bitch. The reason you shake is u need to get your core stronger. Also a monolift is key. U can also do static holds with a higher weight and also bottom up squats will help. Good luck bro. Be safe.

Core is more than just sit ups. Back ext,leg raises, glute ham raises, any type of core stabilizing excerses. Core consists of lower back, hams, quads,abs and hip. All these things will allow you to stabilize and lose the shakes.

I am healing quick and I will be back to squats before you know it. Put 500 on the bar lift and hold for 20 sec. This will allow you to feel the heavier weights
