Water and diet is my key to the next step back running miles non stop just started back deadlifting and back up to benching 255 5 times after sets. I’m trying to lose this gut by my birthday. I’m getting yoked but some of my hoodies still fit to tight.

Godzilla got busy.
Bolded changed everything.
Since reading, I threw finger-tip rack positions in the bushes and have noticed so much more stability and power during the lift. Getting loose enough for the position is still challenging, though.
I was also pointed to the "Klokov Stretch" and found it to be the best stretch I've ever tried to help front rack positioning:
(Beginning)
Stretch feels like hell, but damn its effective. Also helped me realize I wasn't "flaring my lats" as much as I thought. Been at this for about a week and early results are promising.
Good looks on the water info
Used to think dudes who walked around with gallons of water were obnoxious, but now it makes sense
I go through about a half a gallon of water during a workout. Always sippin water in between sets and refill about 4 times a session.

Klokov recently hosted an oly clinic near me and one of my buddies went. Guys like that are such a wealth of knowledge. It’s amazing how when you take 2, 3 or 4 little tidbits and mental cues and apply them to your approach to the bar how they can completely change a big lift.
Glad to hear you’re finding things that work though.
I’m finding that I’m getting slightly better at sitting upright in bottom of the catch. Been focusing on not letting the bar pull me forward. This is from one of yesterday’s drills. 3-2-1-0 tempo front squat into split jerk w 2 sec pause at top.
It’s funny. When I first got into this oly stuff my coach said “it takes years to be mediocre at oly movements.” After a little over a year of hammering away at it I totally get what he means. There is always something that’s going to need improvement. The movements are so technical and there are so many moving pieces.

No doubt Homie, Water is very important. I drink a Gallon during every workout.
I'm that dude that took my water everywhere
But I had to get it in, and I still do, I got gallons in my trunk, room, and I carry a Gallon jug with me to get my sips in.
Your water intake during workouts is pretty good keep it up

I was on my last set of single DLs at 90% and had to grind it out. As soon as the weight hits the floor one of the stronger guys in the gym come through and gives me the fist bump
You earned his respect, not only he respect the weight you been pulling but your work ethic in the gym

Past couple of weeks I've been chugging 32oz of water when I wake up and I drink 32oz before i work out. I've been rocking my Belichick hoodies so I sweat alot.
I'm done with mixed grip for deadlifts...I've been using double overhand. I'll eventually try to do hook grip but the shyt hurts my thumbs.
