Long Distance GMs? Once l pull the bar up onto the head, l try to keep the bar as far away as possible from the tail bone(Coccyx). I am literally using the ENTIRE LENGTH of the Erector Spinae. The back of the neck is worked very hard here. As l rise, l let the bar rotate a bit while trying to minimize its movement down to the Hips. This means that the bar rest in the hands more and more as l rise while making sure the bar remains in contact throughout all 6 reps with 78lb. The plates are used to help hold the feet in Internal Rotation. Internally rotated legs allow the Sacrum, Coccyx, outer Calves & outer edge of the feet to be stretched. Yes, legs are LOCKED STRAIGHT from when the bar is picked off the floor until it is replaced to the floor. Lotsa good going on here folks. God Bless! "For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world." -Titus 2:11-12
