“Bad” Form = More Strength

I sit here post workout happy with the session. Contemplating.

I have terrible olympic form, and on the powerlifts I don’t do anything right.

I starfish my medium height catches, I kinda power jerk landing in a semi wide, somewhat high horse stance.

Legs always out on a two hand variation…though sometimes I’ll hit an ugly one hand sorta split snatch.

I squat narrow and barefoot, always walked out, no monolift. I pull conventional sometimes even round backed. I bench close grip with a flat back and according to observers my elbows out.

I’ve never so much as put on a belt, wraps, or sleeves.

Every lift I do doesn’t have the form on point leaving a lot on the table in pure numbers, but know this…

If a big compound lift moves up for me, I AM most definitely STRONGER.

No technique was ever fixed. I barely even pay attention to my foot spacing.

Often my best olys and deadlifts involve me jumping around, running up to the bar, grab and GO! (Like mat mode amp up.)

If you care primarily about numbers I’d hardly suggest one emulate me, but if you want to lift soley by strength, passion, and balls TRY IT.

Everything is at or near PR territory right now. I’m getting scary strong.

Peace,
