It takes practice to get the grip and rip down. My boy Ecks from another forum does the whole setup and grab the bar and adjust thing and missed his 2nd pull attempt in comp. we talked him into grip and rip before the 3rd attempt bc he's such an explosive lifter. 3rd attempt comes up and he nails the same weight he missed previously with great speed.

Side view is best for deads or off a slight angle yes
Yea, slightly off side, enough to pretty much obscure a face but yet seeing enough of the lift to be able to analyze it.

I like the discussion of the traditional slow methodical setup of the dead and the grip and rip variation.
I try to combo this as I am a very aggressive lifter. I get my stance, fill up on much H2O, grab the bar and go. There r those that take way to long, but also those without enough seat time to know their position well enough to grip and rip.
Once u feel comfortable with ur setup, personally the grip and rip is awesome. The mental focus and the explosive strength and speed 1 develops with this method is absolute.
My advice is to implement various techniques in order to become better, AT EVERYTHING[emoji123]
Hey Brutal. Did you ever do the low weight, high rep shoulder day? I'm doing it again today and I was curious how you felt afterwards if you did it.
I traditionally set up more methodically but reviewing video from my meet in March I noticed on my final pull attempt I gripped and ripped that bitch and got 3 whites lol
Nope. Thanks for calling me out! I really, really hate shoulders... I can't even promise I'll do it this week.
Tisk tisk tisk. I thought you had something to prove. I'll refresh your memory.
Just sayin.

Good session Brutus. After fighting hard and missing a heavy bench attempt I have to drop 20 to 30 pds. to have any shot.
It takes a lot of food to stay at 280 when your hitting the iron hard.
