I have been working on my set up and if my feet aren't flat I'm all over the place, no balance.

I have a few ideas that my solve my problem , looking back in hindsight I think if I move my feet even further back, that my stabilize me more.

Thanks for the pic Dev.

That's nothing. You should see Russian lightweight female powerlifters on bench if you wanna see a good arch. Yeah, and their shoes are completely flat on the floor

Seriously...I was bloated. I was like 215. This last trip I was about 190-195. Same arch either way.

...and yes, I was holding SO much water that I had cankles.

you mean his weight belt?

 

[spatts]

Yeah...his weight belt is under his singlet. His arch isn't anything unusual, IMO.

Actually the IPA, dont know about the other feds, is not allowing anyone to wear their belt under their singlet anymore. People were tryin to bring the bar down to their belt (which is higher) instead of to their body.
