Week 8 Day 2 Deload Sumo Deadlifts

The saga of my deadlift is three fold, one is grip, two is hand placement on the bar and three is having a proper bar at the gym. I've written about my grip and for this competition I'm going with a over under. I finally pulled my head out of my ass and checked the official rules for a legal IPF approved powerlifting bar. Specifically where does the knurling end on the bar. After confirming and measuring the bars at the gym, guess what they were correct. So all this time when I pulled sumo my grip taken on the bar steel was too narrow!! Basically I was a full hand width too far in on the bar. With lighter weights today I adjusted my grip and filmed from a side view to see if it effected my hip angle or back angle. Nothing changed except the feel of the lift. It just does not feel as smooth but the bar path is slightly better because it does not drag right up my shins! As for a proper lifting bar the only real difference is the bar diameter and how aggressive the knurling is on the bar, not a big deal but eventually I will get a proper legal bar. That bar will be from this place, awesome prices for quality equipment. Powerlifting Bar
Again along with my lighter warm up deadlifts I supersetted in hex bar weighted walks. Kept it lighter today for this one.
Next was squats and I did not dial down the weight from last week. Just felt I needed to keep this weight the same and not lower or increase it on my deload week. I call it going with my gut feeling..
With the squats I supersetted in DB single leg SLDL's, keeping it fairly light and concentrating on form and activating the hamstrings on this movement.
Challenge complacency gym rats!
