If it's a hamstring problem, which is understandable especially if you do straight leg deadlifts, work more on stretching out front splits and stuff. I make sure I stretch that more than normal on my legs and back days.
Also, a 265 bench is crazy man. I hope to break 250 by summer or fall and maybe 400 for squats/deadlifts by the same time.
thought this might help http://stronglifts.com/7-dynamic-str...-hip-mobility/. I just recently started doing dead-lifts and squats and doing these before and stretching after workouts has improved my flexibility dramatically and I'm a big boy
I train with William, yes. It's been the best place I've trained so far, or it seems to be the place that I progressed the most. He gave me my blue belt.Quote:
