just a quickie can you wear knee wraps at these comps or do you prefer without...

[Blenderate]

@arniemonkey Knee wraps are not allowed in most raw divisions. Some federations allow them, however.

First off, props. I've linked more than one of your vids on my facebook page before. Your rep squatting strength just blows me away. Question for you though: When doing deads, do you recommend dead stop reps or touch and go? I find dead stop a LOT harder.

[Blenderate]

Thanks. :) For deads, it depends on your specific weaknesses and goals. Both ways have their merits. I do mostly dead stop because I'm weak off the floor. But somebody who's strong off the floor and weak at lockout might benefit more from the constant tension of touch-and-go.

awesome lifts

you pull with hook grip right?

also its crazy to see someone highbar squat @ a pl meet i havent ever seen that before.

[Blenderate]

Yes, hook grip. I squat high bar because that's the only way I know how. :) Eventually I may switch to low bar.

[arniemonkey]

@Blenderate cheers mate btw you are awesome in the squat and the high rep stuff is the best on youtube great to see a powerlifter with some great legs( im straight so dont worry )lol

@Blenderate

Thanks for the advice. I also have the problem of being weak off the floor :S. Dead stops it is! Cheers to your training!
