Okay.....but the thumb rule is like that? Ryt? I know more the plates on that rod the harder it is to keep the position that way, but still some say it will give knee related problems if knees go forward!!

Good stuff Marcus, what's your body weight off season?

Thats why i wear knee protection. It stabilizes the knee and allows greater stability

i go up to 89 - 92 Kg

That's impressive considering what you are lifting. Many guys 95kg plus would struggle with that.

You're welcome, that is impressive.
You might be interested in this, the international strength standards by Dr Kilgore. These are pretty much referred to by all the experts.

Look at the KG section, as that is what we work with in Europe.

Lol.

 

[MarkusS]

Lol.

one of my gym buddies said i look pretty much like superman. So i try to copy the look and even try to copy the hairstyle.

unfortunately i also copy a less positive thing. I have my own kryptonite...and its a special kind of pollen. xD

When i'm exposed to "ebli pollen" my eyes turn red and my nose closes down. When i get too much of that shit i lose my strength and can barely stand on my legs. two times it was so intense that i collapsed and went ko. its such a strange feeling. rember that i start falling and then wake up and dont know what happens. one idiot from my class thought its funny and pressed that stuff in my face...so it happened. heared its dangerous and can cause a shock.

You can only curve back so much to keep weight in line with lumbar vector....after certain amount depending on body geometry, its inevitable you will get some knee forwarding....but important thing is you keep it as low as you can (but its not a bad thing to have some by default)....and even more important is your back posture.

His form in the video is fine since the focus is on back posture...and knees dont seem to be out of control or anything like that.

It's a great look mate.
As for the pollen, I take it you have been to the doctor to get hold of good antihistamines? Pollen, grass pollen is mine. I have been a sufferer of Hay fever since I was a child, it's in my genetics. I usually have to take two types of medicine a day during the Summer to prevent a flair up.

yes i was. Its rather strange because its a rather rare flower. I developed that issue at first contact and the reaction is really hard and quick. I dont have that problem with grass and so on.

i have to avoid that stuff because it seems to be really dangerous. Getting unconcious is a heavy reaction.

That is quite extreme, stay safe my friend.
