I just read through this whole log, this is a cool log. It makes me wonder if my glutes and hams are firing properly...to tell you the truth I couldn't even tell you if they were or not, I don't know what it's supposed to feel like. Do you mentally think about bringing your glutes and hams into a pull or do you just pull and your body fires everything off by itself? I remember having to think about flexing my glutes to help push my hips under the weight which I don't really do that anymore. When I do concentrate on getting my posterior into a pull I can feel my whole posterior chain tighten down over the load and feel it contracting to get the weight up in the air, maybe that means I'm doing allright? The whole glute firing and hip flexibility thing is confusing to me even after reading articles about it. I performed a hip flexiblity test and scored average on it, my hamstrings scored VERY tight although. Cool log, bump!
