Ok, it's been a while since I've posted. I did work out with B Fold on Wednesday though. I did 6 sets of 2 with 249 on box squats with the green and purple bands on the bar. I also worked up to 375 for a single on speed deads while standing on a 4" box. I had a very narrow stance and that...

I can't imagine not having met Clint and not having had the opportunity to train with him this semester at school. Clint, you are an inspiration to me, as well as to many others. You make me train harder and go that extra mile, just like you push yourself to do. You are an excellent...

I agree with Spatts. WSB style puts on size, and doesn't make you extremely sore. Although, they are some of the most grueling workouts I've ever been thru :)

The best way to put size on your legs is to work out with B Fold. I've put .5 inches on my thighs and .25 inches on my calves in the past 5 weeks working out with him :) .

Yeah, I was surprised with a 100 lb. PR also. This was the first time I've done GMs since I did them 5 weeks ago, and 5 weeks ago was the first time I'd done them in about 3 years. B Fold has been doing something right with me I guess :D . Thanks for the encouragement Night Fly. Oh, on a...

working towards goal Well, I did event training today with B Fold, so I am very sore right now. Started out the session by doing some GMs though. I did set a PR on those. I worked up to 395 for 1 rep! That beats my old PR on GMs by 100 lbs. I did 295, I think it was, for 1 rep about 5...

Wow, everyone has been very helpful. Thank you, to all of you. I think it's pretty obvious that I need to work on my core, and on my hips, and you all have given me several ways to do that. Also, thanks to everyone who gave me pointers on my form. I will keep posting on this thread with my...

I definitely need to focus on core strength, be more solid in general. So, what are the best exercises to do this? I have already heard pull thrus, GM's, and box squats. I am not asking for variations of the deadlift, just other exercises that will build the deadlift. Oh, and I am fully...

CK, I didn't mean to make you mad man. I don't think I looked over your post. I tried to answer your question of where my sticking point was, and I did take heed to your advice. I am getting some confusion now. It seems some people say put the hips low, and others are saying that the hips...

Yes, I see a huge difference in my form and that of the lifter in the video you posted Spatts. I will definitely focus on keeping my hips down lower at the start of the lift next time, and lean way back with it. Dr. Bones, I will try to keep the back rounding issue in mind the next time I do...

Spatts: It looks like, in the 405 pull video, that my shoulders are directly above the bar, not in front of or behind it. I will give the reverse band deads a try sometime. I am thinking about trying rack pulls also. When I really lean back with the bar, I feel as if I am going to fall over...

Spatts: I assume you are asking how I pull as in how do I set up for my lift. I don't just walk up to the bar and grab and go. I normally get my hand placement, then position my body, and then go. you can see this in the video b fold posted. Something b fold pointed out to me, and that I...

Thanks for all the advice so far guys. It was actually B Fold's idea for me to post and ask you guys for some tips. I am not sure where my sticking point is exactly, but I think it is the lower portion of the lift, off the floor. I need to do more GMs. I do pull thrus every week...

Spatts, You can view the video B Fold posted to see my form and stance. I think it is just a conventional stance.

Anyone else who trains WSB, Project or Cornholio maybe, or any others who train in other styles, are welcome to give advice. Like I said, ALL advice is welcome. Thanks guys, and girls :) .
