    I'm impressed with your lifts gotlander. You mentioned problems with your deadlift extension earlier, how's it coming along?

    Thanks. Concentrating on staying tight all the way from tailbone to lats seems to do the trick for now. Especially the lats. Sometimes I pull in hard enough on warmup sets that the bar comes off the floor before I start the actual lift.

    On 2nd rep of the 4th set, I almost lost it. Somehow I set up with a narrower stance and, at the very bottom of the rep, I had to pause about a second to stabilize myself. I guess that answers the question of whether I should narrow my stance.

    Hope this keeps up. Going for a 5RM PR at 340 in two weeks.

    No grinding except the last rep of the last two sets. Keeping a good tight arch helps.

    First set felt almost easy. There was no way I was going to miss a rep. Next week should tie my 5-rep PR.
