Sabre Schnitzer 25 Sept Squat and Bench.wmv

Two weeks before USAPL NC States. Trying to regain the USAPL Men's 220 Open records for the Squat, Bench and Total. I've been doing the Smolov bench routine and 475lbs felt really easy. Hoping to go 485 at the meet. I haven't been working the squat too much so hoping for a 611 ot 617. The deadlift is completely up in the air. I did just build a Reverse Hyper. Going to start the Smolov Squat routine after this meet and try it out for my next meet Nov 20th. After that, it will all be deadlift training hoping to place at RUM 2011.

Sabre, what have you done to work on your arch? In particular, my low back arch is just fine, what I want to work on my ability to arch my upper back, thereby raising my ribcage more, and not just my stomach. Thanks, Steve Winburn

@secuervo Pull the shoulders together, breathe on the way down and expand the chest as much as you possibly can. The stomach arch is ok, but unless you are a belly bencher, it does no good to you. So pull the shoulder blades together, burry your chin into your chest, plant your feet firmly under you with complete soles on the ground, and raise your ass up to completment your arch so that your ass is only lightly touching the bench. Doing so will raise your chest.

I lift on cherry point as well would like to get together for some pointers. I have just started powerlifting.

@secuervo I already sent in my entry form. Whatever I leave on the platform at NC I regain at the Ga meet.

@secuervo Sabre, are you planning on coming down to Georgia this year?

Nice lifting Sabre.  The bench looked great.
