This is the video of last night back in wraps
I think I need to move the pins down. By the third rep, the bar had rolled a bit down my back and it was all I could do, to re-rack it up on my tippy toes.
If you are even remotely comfortable unracking from the lower pins, kudos to you. I’ve tried it and can’t even do it with just the bar. I find the squat racks (as opposed to the power rack) have the pins just slightly lower…enough to make up for the sliding.
In my non-expert opinion, these look much better with the wraps. If I had to guess I’d say you’re weak out of the hole so the wraps give you the pop you need out of the hole so you don’t raise your hips so fast. The suit will help with that too when you get back into your gear.
Like I said, just my non-professional opinion
I’m glad you’re not a professional because I don’t have the cash to pay any one.
I agree about weak out of the hole(ish) I think that’s where most people get stuck. I noticed a big difference. Part of it is the security of the wraps and just feeling comfortable sitting back into it more. The other thing is my most recent form change of going much wider with my toes farther out. You can see it on the drop set with no wraps. I will say I feel it in entirely different parts of my body.
I’m sticking with wraps only this week and putting the suit on next week.
I had to do this and may push for a 225 triple because of our chiro bragging on that chick who tripled 220 at 60kg in wraps and belt. Good thing I’m not competitive or anything. Maybe I’ll email him a link
Whatever. She’s competing this weekend. We’ll see how good she really is
Maybe he’ll start bragging about me again. He had a look of shock/impressedness when I told him I was opening at 297.[/quote]
He’s already been bragging about you. Oh. Wait. You didn’t mean about your fellatio skills. My mistake. haha
He means well. He was commenting again on how muscular I looked on Tuesday and he was doing this weird thing looking down the back of my shirt.
You know what? She will probably do just fine. I still win though
