@SwarmShawarma He's training for meets. Arching the back is allowed and shortens the distance that the bar has to travel. Most competitive lifters use some amount of arch, though the extreme arches are mostly lighter bodyweight lifters and females. If you are focusing on bodybuilding and not absolute strength, training with a flat or relatively flat back is a good idea. In the routine I've been doing, most weeks there'll be a bench day where I do "Larson" bench presses, which just means extending your legs straight out and keeping back flat on the bench. It takes away leg drive and is a bit harder than a regular bench press.
I'm not sure what he was going to do if he had had problems on the squat. He must have been confident he'd get the lift. I don't recall any safety bars but maybe there were. If he had gotten stuck, he wouldn't have needed much help to complete the lift, so the chick behind him likely could have helped enough to get him upright and be able to rack it. When I had a training partner, we'd spot each other from the back and never had issues. If we were going for a new max, we'd get side spotters, but that wasn't frequent.
Wearing the belt up high during deadlifts is new to me. I don't remember any lifters doing that until recently. They believe that wearing the belt high allows them to increase abdominal pressure and thereby get a solid "brace" for the lift. I don't know if it makes a difference or not, but some evidently think it does.
Read More@SeasonedRP few questions
- I was reading that back arching for bench is bad, true?
- what is that chick doing behind him while record squatting, isn't he supposed to drop backward in case of problems?
- what is that belt on the chest during deadlift

www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6l_1PSbx6k. This is some of the most incredible lifting I've ever seen. 165 pound guy squatting 727 for 3 reps, bench pressing 476, and deadlifting 771. He competes in drug tested meets, so it isn't his supplement regimen.

@Kloi yoga is good for you. Highly recommend. Just stay away from the spiritual mumbo-jumbo.

Lmao I've never thought of stretching as gendered.
Not really but /r/fitness over on Reddit is probably where I started. I basically do my wrestling stretches from years ago.
Anything else I do is body specific for my personal problem areas.
