I have to use the cross-grip. Too many hand/wrist injuries and clean grip is very painful.

Luv, as long as you have your upper arms close to parallel to the floor you are fine.

Welcome to the club. I can't dead and can't go much more than 200lb on squat

I started working on them whenever I started doing thrusters. I can do about 20 thrusters without stopping (just the barbell), but my form is probably terrible. I have to fully grip the bar instead of letting it rest in my fingers when I squat. I'm just too afraid of dropping it on my head when I don't get a grip on it when I lift it up...lol. I just figure front squats will help with that.

Yeah, they start out correct, but I tend to let them dip whenever I squat.

Yeah, I'm lucky that my wrists are pretty flexible. Otherwise, I'd have to do cross grip, which always feels way more unstable to me.

:(

That's what sucks. I know how awesome deadlifting is for you, so I REALLY don't want to give it up. But I'd rather be able to bend over. Or, you know, use my back at all.

Go a bit lighter until you get form down. Look straight ahead. Not up, not down.

I can't go any lighter, as I'm only using the barbell for right now...lol.

How high do you have the bar? Should be high enough you think it is going to choke you.

Cross grip is extra weird. Unstable is one way to describe it.

Has anyone tried this multi-V pack?

A friend recommended them and said he only takes them on workout day. I was surprised by the amount of warnings when they arrived and it kind of spooked me but the two times I've taken them I've had some top notch workouts.

ALL POWER TO THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY FIELD!

Why do you think you need to be active during the day if you eat carbs? I sit on my butt all day and eat around 250-300g carbs total before I even get to the gym, which is late at night. Then eat more when I get home. :thumb:

Anyone have experience with Rogue Fitness power racks, or any home power racks in general? I'm looking at the R6 for my house. With child #2 on the way, I need to be able to train when time permits.

Just takes getting used to. I can do cross grip much more comfortably the clean grip.

LMAO Funny you should say that. I was working on getting the form down, and my trainer is standing there looking at me and asks, "Are you choking right now? Because you look like you're choking right now. You really should breathe when you do these, so let's move it off your throat."
