      So today was a hell of a leg day. I really tried to shrug as big as I could under the safety bar like you recommended. Not sure if you can tell. These were a struggle and a half, I only made three on my last set instead of 5 but I feel like these might have been the best ones I did today.

      The snatch grips I again tried to shrug as you’d said before so maybe these look a little better than last time. My left hand almost let go a couple of times which surprised me at only 200# but I was able to keep the weight under control and complete the reps.

      My squat shoes are coming Wednesday, I’m very curious to try squatting with them next week.

      Squats look ok.
      3rd one was the best.
      I’d like to see you sit back further so your shin is vertical on the box, and ACCELERATE FASTER!

      Pulls look pretty good.
      Hard t tell where your grip is-it needs to be wide, outside shoulder width.

      On snatch grip, your grip will be the limiting factor (for everyone).
      Using straps on these if grip is an issue is fine.
      It’s normal to have grip give out.
