    Hi, this is rob from the q and A session #85. I had asked about programming for a deadlift, but rip was most concerned I stated I was squatting 405 but only deadlifting 385. I have since deadlifted 405, but he stated I should be closer to deadlifting 460 and wondered about some things. yes I have small handsIMG_20201210_191144478.jpg
    and maybe i'm not hitting depth in the squat. I will link some recent squat videos, and I feel like I can't get lower without buttwink/lumbar flexion at the bottom. I have also linked some deadlift videos, including 405 x1 and failing at 415. It appears I have space between the bar and my shins. I have recently tried to focus on my form and I think I have been putting my hips too low; these videos show my hips higher than usual, but there are some issues.
    In any case, i signed up for the Boise squat and deadlift camp next month so perhaps Nick can solve these issues.

    Squats are high. Makes the deadlift look more reasonable, except for the straps. You're doing a lot of things wrong, including filming the lifts. See the sticky. Nick will help.

    Rip, Nick was a great help. Ryan also. Really tightened up my form in both lifts and I deadlifted 385x5 for the first time. I sent a gift for you and Stef with Nick, a little glass art I made. thanks for the guidance and infotainment, being strong is so much better.

    Thanks Rip. the boise squat and deadlift seminar helped a lot. Nick and Ryan were helpful and I learned a lot of points to work on. I hit 385x5 on the deadlift for the first time. They found some things for me to work on for the squat (obviously).

    Thank you for the gift, Rob. We have them on our table now.
