    BBB, you have form problems, not hamstring problems. All the hamstring stretching in the world is not going to fix your back rounding.

    I've been studying the vids, think I'm dropping the hips in order to give myself 'room' to flatten out the back(??). Trying to address it, but it'll be slow progress.

    Can you tell me where you see me moving forward to my toes? That should be an easy problem to address. Thanks Leah, big fan of yours... I think in a recent SS podcast you mentioned going into strength training full time - congrats and good luck!

    You're right, I have form problems, that's why I'm here

    Can you elaborate though? I feel like I can't 'unkink' my back because of the lack of mobility/flexibility.

    This is why I actually like pulling in WL shoes with heel. I feel a little forward, and it helps me cue to stay over mind foot. I think the back has a slight round but it obviously is working for you, who knows. could just be your build. nice pulls

    If your back straightens, how does that impact the hamstrings?

    The "squeeze" into position is not going to be comfortable. Follow the DL setup procedure. You may benefit from the superman exercises outlined in the book.

    Thanks, B! I appreciate that, and I have happily moved into almost full time coaching with part time teaching now. I love it!

    It's not that you're on your toes per se but you tend to shift your body weight forward too much. I can see it more in your 2nd set ( but wifi is crappy ATM).

    I'd work on
    setting up with your hips higher
    Shove your knees out hard
    Chest up/back set
    Rock back onto your midfoot (or lift your big toe to feel this)
    Pull
    Shift back to the wall after the bar breaks

    Leah, thanks for the advice

    Have been working on it... still a bit hit/miss, especially on volume, but hopefully it's getting better. Thoughts?

    Sorry about the camera angle
