hahaha love it!

The audience for powerlifting niche content is probably smaller than you think. Appreciate your support though!

@@PRsPerformance i think one of the ways to increase the audience, is to make shorter format videos. Long format videos are superb for in depth knowledge and may repel some of the viewer. You should also create videos which are no longer than 10 mins. This may actually increase the channel outreach substantially. Without a doubt this is among the best if not the best place on internet to get Powerlifting specific information.

@@pldl200 I do long form content for a very specific reason. I am not looking to appeal to a general audience, but instead a specific niche within powerlifting. There are plenty of other channels that provide short form, basic content.

@@PRsPerformance i undertand but i think its a shame that this channel has less than 10k subs.. keep educating us man.

@Nikhil Somani Thank you man, appreciate the support. Something I don't think people fully understand though is the number of subs does not equal the quality of subs. Plenty of channels have more subs than me, but less views, less interaction, and less ROI to their actual business than mine does. Aka I target a specific niche that tends to be a higher quality subscriber that has a higher ROI and loyalty to the channel. Just like you have some KZfaqrs with 1 Million subs and their videos get maybe 40-50k views, versus some channels with 1 Million subscribers are getting 300-500k views. Not all subscribers are created equal.

Thank you for the support!!

Thank you sir!

Thank you, and agreed, mic is so much better!

hahahahahaha truth!!

Hahaha taking the “first comment” to a new level!

I’d recommend always pulling slack before wedging like you are talking about.

@@PRsPerformance I think people tend to separate the two as if they’re completely different things, when in reality they work together well

this is what i've learned. but yesterday, i made a breakthrough. i'll keep it a secret from now and experiment with it. i'll make a vid in the future. maybe ;)

I honest think it depends more on stiff bar vs DL bar. With a DL bar it’s difficult to just pull slack all the way before wedging and like you said, more natural to pull the slack but not all the way, then finish as you’re wedging (Jamal, nabil, sawyer, dan, great pullers w/ DL bars all do this)

I appreciate it!

Thank you!

I am fine if someone wants to take their time before grabbing the bar, but once you touch the bar, it is time to lift.

@@PRsPerformance I agree. Once the bar is in your hands, there shouldn’t be any hesitation

Powerlifting Now, link is in the description box

There is a lot that goes into injuries, but if you are continually cleared of your center of mass it could be attributing to more stress on your lower back

I currently coach 0 people who do other sports alongside powerlifting, so I wouldn't be a good person to make that video.

That’s just a downside of straps, not much you can do

No one is Dan Grigs but Dan Grigs

Yes, I do still bias to mixed grip.

Just did a whole video on that topic this month on Powerlifting Now.

That is very dependent on your mechanics and leverages, some people will have a more forward shin angle than others. As long as you are managing your center of mass correctly and it is not creating unneeded movement, it is likely what you need to do. Rarely, if ever, will someone have a perfectly vertical shin on conventional deadlift.

@@PRsPerformance thanks for your answer, love powerlifting now btw!

Bar over midfoot then shins meet the bar is the most efficient. Midfoot, toe to heel. If your shins bend too much then the bar will move further forward which puts your a bit off balance. It may not be prefisely over midfoot depending on your anatomy but its a safe bet.

They don’t necessarily have to touch, but likely they are going to need to be as close to create the best leverages.

@@PRsPerformance yes that makes more sense when put that way. For reference, I have a very long torso, long arms, protionately longish femurs when compared to my tibias so every one of my powerlift has very considerable moment arms. That said, thank you for the detailed answer, looking forward to more content.

I will say this only happens at like rpe 10 / my max but if i did compete i assume it would be similar intensity and i might rely on it. Rather solve it if it is a no lift issue. But hard to practice a habit for something that occurs at max effort since it is trained so infrequently program wise

That all depends on if that setup is causing issues or not. If your pull is fine, some change it.

That is a bit of a broad question in what you are meaning, but if you are referring to keeping shin angles vertical with the knees and ankles stacked, that is a good starting point for most, but not a set in stone rule that it is the proper stance width.

@@PRsPerformance could I send a video onto you on Instagram so you see what I mean? I can’t explain over typing

If that is working for you I'd keep following what your coach has said
