Powerlifting Raw

That squat was pretty ugly. Your knees cave in badly and you fall forward a bit. I’m surprised you were able to fight it out.
Your bench was nice and solid but I didn’t notice any pause at the chest.
Your deadlift was simply beautiful: a slow, smooth pull to lockout.

Your training split looks good but I would recommend throwing in some front squats. They will build your quad strength so your knees won’t track inwards and they will teach to stay more upright when you squat.

Congrats on the big raw total![/quote]

Yes, the squat was ugly.

I went on the judges call on the bench.

Thank you.

I do front squats. This phase in my training I didn’t have them. Thanks for the advice.

awsome job kid, i also lift raw when not injured. the only thing i can see is that u need to widen ur squat/bench. shoot from ur hips on the squat and ur glutes will do all the work on ur squat. all in all, nice job[/quote]

I’ve worked with a wider squat and haven’t liked it. I am sure if I trained it more I would eventually like it and get stronger with it. Just haven’t yet.

On bench my triceps almost over power my chest so if I go much wider I lose strength.

Thank you.
