I have been using neutral wrist positioning since your video focusing on Lee Sang's wrist positioning / upper back positioning and it has helped tremendously. Cheers

I love all the marks on the wall behind you at about toddler height.

All I focus on these days is keeping a tight upper back. I actually find it easier with a suicide grip on the bar as my wrists stay more straight and rigid and it feels like I’m better able to drive my upper back through the bar as I come up from the bottom.

when I am squatting I constantly pull down on the bar like I am at the bottom of a lat pulldown. I find it keeps my wrists straight and my junk tight. Hopefully that que can help someone. Great stuff🙏👊

Very cool video. Now I get why they tell you to do that.

Klokov said to do back extensions every day with barbell placed like in a squat (everything tight, head up and elbows back), to learn that position and for upper back strenght.

I have a kyphosis and when I extand my upper back I always hurt my neck. When I round my upper back like some lifters do on deadlift it feels much better.

When you need to be fast, you are fast.

i feel like my grip strength on the bar seems to vary on the days. Some days i feel weak even balling up a fist and other days i feel like i can grip through the barbell itself. Could this be a lack of recovery between workouts ?

nice technique to help keep my shit tight

Been lifting for 6 years since and maybe since 1 year switched to a false grip because my forearms have started hurting quite a bit. Recently started doing general mobility work, does anyone any tips on specific work to incorporate to be able to use a regular grip instead of false and also narrow my grip for more tightness?

[jayeye]

has squatting ever fucked your elbows up?

Obviously I am here for the advice on upper back rounding as that is a weakness for me. What does "penis in my upper back" mean at 2:46? I know a lot of yoga but I can't figure out what you were trying to say?
