    Get about half a finger width closer the bar.

    I agree with Jeff. Is that a hook grip or double overhand? Overall these are looking good. Keep going!

    Here is a continuation. I trained with a singlet - practicing for a meet on Sat.



    Notes:
    Weight felt heavy and slow.
    I set up closer to the bar (recommendation from last form check) – didn’t notice any change honestly, hips were more stable thought this time (last DL workout on rep 3 and rep 6 they were slightly shooting up)
    “Drive your mid-foot into the ground “ – works very well!

    If you have a meet this coming Saturday, I wouldn't be surprised if these felt slow/heavy as you're probably at about the end of your peak. Anyway, work on accelerating through the lift. Break the bar from the ground smoothly and speed up as you pull. After the meet, see what happens if you bring your heels about a finger width closer together without moving your toes.

    Hey, and good luck!

    Thanks! As I'm running a basic LP at the moment I didn't do a conventional peak. I'm just going to skip DL Wed and skip Friday's workout and compete @ Sat. Will Try to get those heels closer next time!
