[QUOTE=Jay Nera;1445611]Hey dude.



2. Im not sure if that is a typo or not?

Thanks Jay, my question was actually: How far you Space your chins from the bar in Conventional Dead Lift? Middle of the foot or more far! from your instructional videos i saw, i think you stand a bit far!
Also, i see in your Benching videos that you lift off the bar for yourself, in that case where do you place your forehead in relation to the bar? for myself i try to put my eyes directly under the bar before the liftoff but this strains my shoulders, i lose the tension!

Thanks again!!

I watched your video again on how you bench , especially with how you rotate your shoulders...you talked about getting more of a stretch so i tried it out instead of "normal" benching.

Holy shit dude, the stretch is inbelievable...so no questions do far...just a thank you for sharing some wisdom

AWESOME dude.

Glad it helped.

For the DL, the distance of the bar from your shin will depend a lot on the rest of the angles you are striving for in your set up. In general, between your shin and the ball of your foot. The simplest way to put it is to say above the shoe laces.

I lift off for myself because i often train alone and i feel like a bad hand off will injury me more than a self hand off. i just try to think of where i will finish my press and set up a couple inches up from that so that the horizontal movement is minimal which will obviously minimize any discomfort that often comes with self lift offs.

Can ya briefly summarize ur take on CAT?

Its hard to summarize in a aparagraph or two. Perhaps a video maybe.

There are many different ways to think of it and apply it.

Theres as a technique builder, a work capacity builder, can use it as an escalated density protocol, can focus purely on power outputs, can use it as maintenance while building up other lifts, can use is in part of a peaking protocol which Sam Byrd has done numerous times.

In general, the most important aspect is that one is striving for perfect technique and constantly striving to accelerate accelerate accelerate.

Watching your video on Unconventional Quad Training as we speak. Any plans to compete soon?
