Maria, the mixed grip I use is to help me hold the bar at those heavy weights. As I progress through the sets, my grip fatigues, so you can mix the grip or use straps.

I know the sort of issue you are having and the best thing to do is to somehow fashion a platform for each end of the barbell that you have, to raise it up to a height you can reach. Usually 2 low steps will give it enough height to do this.

Cheers
Marianne

Hi. When you do the sumo deadlift, why does one arm face you and the other one face away from you? At the gym they have bars with fixed weight, but they are not large plates. So I would have to squat very deep to pick up the weight. They have bars but the plates they have are not large enough to be able to pick up off the floor. I usually end up doing straight-leg deadlifts.

thanks,

Maria

Manuel, I wish to train my body’s natual Lifting Belt as I don’t want to rely on added support just yet. The form is more important than the weight right now and I want to know what feels right in that sense. Just my thoughts though.

Cheers

sorry, one question.
Why not use belt power in your lifts?
for example, the dead weight, many people recommend, but I see you’re not using it.
What is your opinion regarding the use of belt power in heavy lifting.
Thanks, greetings.

Yes I did compete, loved the experience. I learned so much and have kept that discipline all these years. The dead lift is my favorite lift. I also worked with a woman who was phenomenal in powerlifting. She was a wee little thing weighing perhaps 120-123 lbs. But…… She benched over 215, squatted 305+ and dead lifted 365. We’d meet in the gym at work and help each other out. We weren’t competing any longer but continued the drill so to speak . Powerlifting is something I am passionate about and was my introduction to weights. I love cardio but weights are my first love. I never tried the weightlifting you do. Lifting that weight over your head is so awesome, strong, powerful. That’s some technique. Continue as you are and you’ll be forever young. Also, you mentioned form, I agree with you on how important it is to get it down. It’s always a work in progress. My coach drilled that into us all the time, and I agree with you, regression is not a bad thing. All the greats have good form . Your teaching your followers well. Thank you for that.
Cheers,
Minnie

Thanks Minnie, I will do my best to improve 🙂 Thanks for the pointers. Did you compete in Powerlifting?

Dam the one-arm push ups, they won’t beat me 😉
