/plg/ Powerlifting General

Forearm and quad strength and over eating seem to be my biological strong points.

Kinda want to do strongman

So close

>The hardest part for me on the DL is the lockout, which is a bit strange since I pull Sumo.
Do you round your back?

Round backed puller detected

Actually I know one guy who didn't who had trouble locking out even with a straight back. Turns out he was being a pussy and then he remembered not to give up when pulling and instantly added 15kg to his DL. Yeah that's you Marto

yeah I round my upper back but not too much.

it's not like it's limiting me by that much. If I do a 1RM it will most likely still fail on the ground or go up all the way. the thing is if I do a true 1RM for me I always have to grind it at the top, not like I cant get it but it just feels like it should be way easier especially since I pull Sumo.

Stop rounding

Lockout will always be hard since you're in a shitty position in the end of the lift. I'm not really sure that you need to "fix it". Do you miss any heavy attempts since you can't lock out?

Keep getting in trouble at my gym...

Nothing wrong with rounding.
