I have a couple of guys who have competed before who are going to work with me in a few days but would love you guy's input as well. Also should I use a one palm out and one in grip on the bar? thanks
Be careful, when returning bar to ground keep in same grove as you went up, close to body and back as straight as possible, definitely alternate hands, it will help keep bar from rolling in hands. Look up the info from Westside, they have some pretty good info. Lift heavy but good form is important when you start handling heavy weight. Your back will definitely be sore tomorrow. Good Luck tying your shoes in the morning. Ha
