Here are some more FAQs from students
Q) The bar wanted to roll off from my delts depsite the fact that the weight was not heavy.
A) Move your elbows back and up. It will help you to secure the bar on your back.
Q) My friend who will help me wrap my knees at the competition can't wrap me at every workout. I can call him just for a couple of workouts close to the date of competition. How to get the maximum benefit from his help?
A) It is important to be wrapped by him not only on the last workouts but also for the high intensity workouts. He must get used to wrapping you in way you like. You should show him where to start from and how many rounds to do. If you use the cross wrapping method you should show him when to form the cross. Also, you should remember the following: the larger the weight of the barbell the tighter your friend should wrap you and the faster you should go down. Otherwise it will be hard to break parallel.
Q) How many steps back should I walk out of the squat rack?
A) I recommend you walk out of the rack as far as it is needed as to not touch the rack when squatting. Usually 1.5-2 steps is enough.
Q) What the purpose of speed bench press?
A) It helps to pass the sticking point. This point usually is at 8-12 cm above the chest. The faster you can get the bar moving the greater your chance to pass the sticking point.
Q) How do I fix the problem of knees traveling too far forward in the squat?
A) Try wall squats. Stand near the wall so that your toes touch the wall. When you try to replicate your squat, your knees will hit the wall and will not go beyond the line of toes. Adjust your stance width, toe angle, etc. and try again until you can get all the way down. Do this exercise as a warm-up before every squat session, 8 reps x 3 sets with 20-30 kg.
