Stay strong fellas, I'm just plugging away on my end trying to keep up View attachment 48229

Looks like 405??? Great depth and form. That's def a powerlifting beard if I've ever seen one.

PS. Those plates are bad ass. Love using them at my coach's gym

Yea just 405. I've been training with a little lower percentages and absolutely refusing any compromise in my form or technique and it's paying off in dividends. I know that sounds like common sense but it takes myself and I believe many other guys who get into the "heavy" sports a while to truly learn to let go of that pride and do what's best in the long run. At least that's been my experience.
And yeah , I love the old beat up standard plates we have at my gym. Just seems more in my element than the new rubber, perfectly fit to the bar, non rattling bumper plates.

Well you hit "depth" and then some with that 405 lol. The pic makes it look like a paused squat just bc it's a still pic but bad ass nonetheless. Sheiko is one of the biggest proponents of using relatively lower percentages to reinforce form technique but he also uses it to get his athletes stronger. You're basically following some of his principles and he's one of the best to ever do it. Do you find at heavier percentages your fork tends to break down more often?

It was paused, just slightly, that's actually a screenshot from video. I can't upload bc obviously my face is in it. I wouldn't know how to block my face in video really.
As far as form breaking down at higher percentages, I wouldn't say it's drastic. But I recently looked back at some footage and just wasn't happy with what I saw as minor inefficiencies, lapses in technique if you will. In a way I guess I've took a perfectionist approach to my lifts, as I think it's the best thing for my training at the point I'm at.

Excuse my ignorance but what do you mean by fork?

I took it as he meant form, just a typo.

 

[RandallNowan]

Fork = typo on form!

Shit I thought I was going to learn some secret new fork technic

Nope, no fork secrets on my end, just using one to shovel massive quantities of food after that leg workout.

Lol just a typo of form

The sign of a good lifter is being able to go over past sessions, find mistakes, and fix them. Good job.

There is room though working with less than perfect form. Grinder training, working on grinding. Through the lift will teach you to push through instead of giving up during a heavy attempt. This kind of training has less than perfect form by design. Shouldn't be done all the time but is useful.

I've also wondered if its possible to edit video to take out your face.
This would be an awesome place for form critique, but it's also a great place to incriminate yourself lol.

 

[ickyrica]

No need to incriminate.
Intimidate.

Lol I've thought about using a mask, I think that would come off a bit odd though

@vani11agori11a uses some app or something that hides his face. I've been wondering how he does it myself.

Use a gimp mask with a gag ball if anyone asks it's for elevation training

I thought about getting an elevation mask just for this purpose, but I think I'd rather the ball gag lol.
