Bad news: accidentally misloaded deadlift by 20lbs
Good news: it was 20lbs more and still felt easy #powerlifting

A lot of overshoots are caused by people not judging lifts by the sticking point. 90% of the lift can be fast but the sticking point is what really limits you #powerlifting

Thing to watch on bench: scapulas don’t start getting pulled too far forwards as reps go on #powerlifting

Simple external cue been using on deadlifts is to just think of pushing midback up towards the ceiling. Tends to streamline positioning #powerlifting

If you can’t feel leg drive during deadlifts, try pressing your feet into the ground actively #powerlifting
