out of interest, do you pay much attention to alternating your grip?

None what so ever. Right hand under, left hand over every time.

funnily enough I've settled on that, probably like holding a knife and fork.

EqX, chocs are courtesy of Pagan

Tony paid for the 300k+in weight , multiple bars , power rack, 4 atlas stones , 2 logs , farmers walk handles , yoke , prowler sledge, filled barrel, sandbag, tyres and lots of chalk and tacky. He lets me use all this for free so I thought it only good and proper that I paid him back in full ...........by nicking two wooden chocs from work.

What you planning for Xmas mate, 315kg?

I'm hoping for 320kg belt only if I hit all the reps on this Ortmayer routine, hopefully 340kg in the suit.

Big lifts there - whats your body weight? You dont look huge in your vids (no 'powerlifter gut', lol!) you look like you've got more of a BBer shape than the stocky PLer shaper

102kg mate.

Far from looking like a BBer though, more athletic look I suppose.

I'm 6'1" ish so to look big I think I'd need to be touching 120kg.

Cracking work Tony, as ever. I'm keen to know what your DL PB is ATM too.

TR - the roll technique is much popularised by awesome Nordic strongman and DL legend Benedikt Magnússon. Here's a rather more exaggerated approach up to the bar but less pronounced 'Benni Roll'

I use the roll technique as well, i find it just helps me focus.

Cracking lifts there Tony mate, i like how the nose rub doesn't kick in till 230kg lol

Nice smooth 300 there Tony, and the 310 went up with a struggle - whats your PB on the deadlift ATM, and whats your goal?

PB is 312.5.

I pulled 320 earlier in the year but had to hitch it up.

Goal is 320 to IPF standard by end of year then after that **** nows.

Think Scruffys taken care of the rolling issue.
