This is great to witness and learn from. I can only imagine how pumped you are for this and it's well deserved!

Nice work, Bull.

What are you squeezing on the partial sumos?

 

[ChrisLindsay9]

Very nice, Bull!

You know, lat activation is something a lot of us have to learn or, like myself, be more consistent. If it's convenient for you, please include some cues or directions that Matt gives that you find helpful as you progress here.

Nice work, Bull.

He says I'm not activating my lats in the pull and the press so I come up slightly then I'm supposed to kinda shrug it. Squeezing my upper back together.

Very nice, Bull!
